THE SWORD IN THE STONE, a musical about the childhood of the legendary
King Arthur, will appeal to audiences of all ages, both adult and
children. It is based on the story of Arthur growing up an orphan in
the castle of Sir Ector. He is constantly taunted by his adopted
sibling, Kay, and threatened by the evil queen Mab and Arthur's
half-sister, Morgan le Fay. The magician Merlin and his assistant, the
beautiful young sorceress Nimue, use their magic to teach Arthur the
things he will need to know. Then one day, during a fencing tournament,
Arthur miraculously removes the magical sword from its stone, and
becomes king of all England. The songs include the majestic "Sword in
The Stone", the comic "Only a Fool" and the wonderful, lyrical theme,
"Everything is Magic". The evil Queen Mab tempts her followers with her
song "The Magic Word". And when Merlin casts his spells, the trees sing
("Like an Oak"), the flowers sing ("Give Yourself a Sunny Day"), the
birds sing ("Fly!"), even the fish sing ("Friend of Mine"). Experience
the romance, the pageantry, and the playfulness of this magical
musical. There are two sets: the castle courtyard and Merlin's room.
