Whitehead will play King Pellinore opposite the King Arthur of Irons and the Guenevere of Errico. Whitehead played the same role in the 1980 Broadway revival of the musical, earning a Best Featured Actor in a Musical Tony nomination for his performance.

As previously announced, Gordon Hunt will direct the classic musical about the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The concert staging will also feature the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra under the direction of John Mauceri. Show time is 7:30 PM.

Last summer, the Bowl presented Michele Lee and Christine Ebersole in Jerry Herman's Mame. Previous staged concert productions at the Bowl include Errico and John Lithgow in My Fair Lady and Eric McCormack and Kristin Chenoweth in Meredith Willson's The Music Man.
