It's Sizzling! It's Sumptuous! It's Swashbuckling! It's a World Premiere!
The dashing Robin Hood of old California, the original masked man whose identity is known to no
one, at last bursts onto the musical stage with the passionate romance, spine-tingling suspense and
hair-raising excitement in this classic tale of good versus evil. Now, for the first time, melodies by
the world's greatest composers have been newly arranged for the musical theatre, and delicious
dollops of hilarious comedy have been added to the panoramic settings, sumptuous costumes and
death-defying swordplay of this original, timeless tale. Zorro brings chills, thrills, spills - and laughter
- for the whole family.

July 21 - August 2, 1998
Theatre Under The Stars' "Summer Musicals at the Wortham Center" presents Robert Goulet in
Camelot, book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, music by Frederick Loewe. Showtime is 8pm
Tuesday - Friday, 2pm and 8pm Sat., and 2pm and 7:30pm Sunday.
International singing star Robert Goulet burst into the national limelight when he created the role of Lancelot opposite Julie Andrews and Richard Burton in Broadway's 1960 premiere of Camelot. Now he returns to Houston as King Arthur in that hit musical by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, the role he first performed in 1990 for Theatre Under The Stars. That production broke all TUTS' previous box office records and paved the way for his subsequent national tour and Broadway run of Camelot. Mr. Goulet was last seen touring nationally in TUTS' production of Man of La Mancha in 1997 - 98.
