Carousel
”A musical masterpiece”
Music by Richard Rodgers
Book & Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
In a small coastal village in Maine, carnival barker, Billy Bigelow, falls in love and marries local millworker, Julie Jordan. Their romance quickly faces obstacles as both lose their jobs just as they learn she is pregnant. Desperately intent on providing for his family, Billy is coerced into being an accomplice to a robbery. Caught and facing prison, Billy dies, but is given a second chance at redemption fifteen years later when he returns to earth to meet his daughter. She is a lonely, friendless teenager, but Billy’s love for her instills a sense of hope and dignity she never felt before. Featuring beloved songs “If I Loved You,” “June is Busting Out All Over,” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel is one of the most beautiful and compelling musicals of the 20th century.
