Michael York stars as King Arthur in "Camelot." Photo by Craig Schwartz
As Austin Power’s boss, Michael York struggled to keep his British secret agent in line. On stage at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle, he appears eager to walk in a straight line.
Taking center stage as King Arthur in Lerner & Loewe’s "Camelot," York is perfect in the role as the aging king, but appears a bit off playing a younger man wooing his soon-to-be wife Guenevere, played by Rachel York (no relation). Heck, the two never even kiss on stage, as if to say, "yeah, we know we look awkward up here."
Past that point, the evening’s entertainment is fun and engaging. Rachel York’s voice is nothing short of enchanting, while James Barbour as Guenevere's lover, Sir Lancelot, is funny with a fanciful bass voice.
"Camelot" runs through April 8 at 5th Avenue Theatre, 1308 Fifth Ave., Seattle. Tickets are $20-$73 and available at 206.625.1900 or www.5thavenue.org. â€" Ken Swarner
