A CONNECTICUT YANKEE in King Arthur's Court First mounted in 1927, then revived in 1943, A CONNECTICUT YANKEE contains the last song ever written by Rodgers & Hart (the deadly funny "To Keep My Love Alive"). It's the story of Martin, a Connecticut resident, who's knocked out and sent back in time to Camelot when his fiancé hits him on the head with a champagne bottle. After outwitting a sorceress and winning his true bride, Martin returns to the 20th century for a happy ending, but not before singing such rousing classics as "My Heart Stood Still" and "Thou Swell".

This staged reading is the full show with orchestra, minimal sets and costumes and the actors frequently carry their scripts.
