With a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe, the musical is based on T.H. White's novel The Once and Future King, which reinterprets the Arthurian legend. The original Broadway production starred Richard Burton as King Arthur, Julie Andrews as Guenevere, and Robert Goulet as Lancelot. The album includes some of the show’s most celebrated songs, such as "Camelot", "How to Handle a Woman", and "If Ever I Would Leave You", which have since become standards in the musical theater repertoire.
