Camelton

20 years ago, award-winning musical theatre writer Stephen Cole met his first camel... and he hasn't been the same since. Stephen tells his hilarious story of writing a musical for the Emir of Qatar. Picture this! Two Brooklyn Jews, some Middle Eastern producers, a Qatari movie star, flying carpets, Croatian acrobats, Russian ballet dancers, an Italian director, the desert, camels (a lot of camels!) and, of course, music.. You will laugh and you will cry (from laughing) in this outrageous unbelievable-but-true tale of how Stephen and his collaborator wrote the first American musical to premiere in the Middle East.
