WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Audiences will be charmed by the wonderful story of Lili. Carnival! has Music and Lyrics by Bob Merrill and Book by Michael Stewart, with revisions by Francine Pascal.
The magical and heart-warming tale of a naïve young woman who eagerly joins a traveling circus. Surrounded by a riot of acrobats and jugglers, music makers and clowns, she is dazzled at first by the troupe's manipulative magician. In the end she finds happiness with a disillusioned puppeteer who can only express himself through his delightful puppets. Based on the film "Lili" and with songs like "Love Makes the World Go Round" and "Her Face," Carnival! casts a romantic spell over the entire audience.
Carnival! will be directed by Darko Tresnjak, who directed Goodspeed Musicals' Amour and A Little Night Music. Carnival! will be choreographed by Peggy Hickey, whose previous Goodspeed Musicals credits include Brigadoon, King of Hearts, Amour, On The Twentieth Century, and A Little Night Music. Carnival! will be sponsored by Mohegan Sun.

Carnival!, the modest yet intriguing musical which hasn't made it back to Broadway since its initial 1961 production, proves to be a much-missed charmer in Goodspeed Opera House's truly delightful revival, directed by Darko Tresnjak.
The plot varies little from its source material, the 1953 movie Lili, about a naïve country orphan (Lauren Worsham) seeking her fortune with a shabby traveling circus. There, she meets a variety of characters, including the embittered puppeteer Paul (Adam Monley), whose wartime injury cut short a stellar career as a dancer, the resident magician (and philandering cad) Marco the Magnificent (Mike McGowan), his long-suffering assistant-slash-mistress Rosali[...]
