Once again, Rachel stands out in Camelot.

**********

Rachel York is a lovely Guenevere; her clear and beautiful voice is a
good match for the Lerner and Loewe score. She also does most of the
heavy lifting in the production, acting-wise. She perfectly captures
the light comedy of the young Queen's frustration at a forced
marriage and her eager excitement for a big, romantic life where men
actually fight over her. As the show progresses, York's Guenevere
shows that she's the real brains in Camelot, and she eventually grows
to learn the folly behind her childish dreams.

Rachel York's microphone wasn't working at all in the first scene,
leaving her to sing "Simple Joys of Maidenhood," and fall for Arthur,
without amplification. While it was something of a challenge to hear
her over the orchestra, she succeeded in putting the song across to
the rear of the orchestra, and earned a huge ovation for it. It was
almost preferable to strain to hear her unamplified voice, with all
of its nuances, than to listen to overly loud, colorless sound
through the microphones.
