So that Michael York starring in "Camelot" I went on about in previous blog entries? Well, when it comes back to L.A. in September, it will feature not Michael York as King Arthur, but Lou Diamond Phillips (formerly of "24" and, a long time ago, "La Bamba"). He was nominated for a Tony award for playing the King of Siam in "The King and I." Which, if I recall, may have been the first time someone other than Yul Brynner played the role.

Color blind casting at its finest. That bumps out York who wasn't exactly in the finest of voice when I saw the show, and bumps in a guy 20 years his junior. Which could possibly spice up the Arthur-Jenny-Lance triangle. No word on whether Rachel York and James Barbour -- the other two sides of the triangle -- will still be here with the tour or whether they're jumping "Camelot" as well.

"Camelot" plays UCLA's Royce Hall Sept. 11-23. See www.Broadwayla.org.
