Long Island audiences enjoy the summer nights of the Round Table in the East End.
The Bay Street Theater announced on Monday that its re-imagining of Lerner and Loewe’s musical “Camelot”, which is being performed in a field in Bridgehampton, has been extended. The show, which was put on by the Sag Harbor-based theater and was scheduled to end on August 29, will run until September 5, the producers said on Monday.
After the sold-out Saturday opening to a crowd of 200, Bay Street added six performances. Musical recreation of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table stars Broadway veterans Jeremy Kushnier (“Rent”, “Jersey Boys”) as the royal royal and Britney Coleman (the future “Company” ) in the role of Guenevere.
