There, in Merlyn's cluttered cave, filled with souvenirs of his travels through time,  Arthur is reunited with Merlyn and his childhood animal  friends. As they reminisce of times past, Arthur who is filled with self-doubt, is made to realize all the good he has done will not go unnoticed and he will be remembered throughout time ... Camelot and The Round Table will be forever in the hearts of mankind.</div> <bR> <div> Based on T. H. White's "Once and Future King - Book of Merlyn" you are taken on a mystical musical ride with Merlyn, Arthur and his animal friends through a journey of the past, present and future of the "Once and Future King."   </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><U><IMG SRC="4de6afe90.gif" border=0 width="175" height="233" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">THE CHARACTERS</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Archimedes the Owl . . . . . .  Jonathan Brackett</B></div> <div> <B>Arthur </B><B>. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  Jonathan Flower</B></div> <div> <B>Badger</B><B> . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  Jeannie McGartland</B></div> <div> <B>Balin the Hawk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
