Generally I think the 2023 Camelot cast recording does a very good job of conveying the onstage vibe of pretty much all the songs with the dialouge snippets. However in my heart of hearts I truly believe the Simple Joys of Maidenhood feels incomplete without the moment of Arthur realizing Guenevere has run away and right to him after she sings her intro. I'm sure I could choose many hills to die on for cast recording opinions but apparently the one I feel the most is a particularly good delivery of the word shit.

#It just is the exact tone of the scene and it's the one bit of song dialouge that feels missing #and also in my head I say it every time because I forget it isn't there #My other thought was the end of What Do The Simple Folk Do because it's weird they have a part of the song that doesn't exist in the show #But I'm not sure you can adequately convey the energy they have at the end there so maybe it's just as well that it's a little deceptive #Today is apparently national bird day that's why I decided I was gonna listen to Camelot today gotta honor my fave bird nerd #it's been a while #And I may now be doing a slight backslide into having too many Camelot thoughts #Camelot Musical #I had a moment of does this belong in the tag and then I figured no one else is using it so why not #The show has been closed for like six months so I'm gonna assume standards are low to nonexistent #The other thing I forget every time it's been a while since I listened to the album straight through is how I'll listen to the act 1 finale #and it'll scratch some part of my brain and I'll have so many thoughts throughout the entr'acte #And then If Ever I Would Leave You comes on and my brain gets completely wiped and I have to stare at a white wall for an extended time #to recover #I just love this album so much #glad I bought the cd #This Barbie can't shut up about Camelot
