New York City
Set in a small New England seaside town, this tale of forgiveness and redemption follows the love story of Billy Bigelow, a smooth-talking carnival barker, and Julie Jordan, the spunky local factory worker he falls for. Forging new territory in musical theatre storytelling, this sumptuous work from the Golden Era of Broadway features a superbly witty script from Hammerstein and boasts some of Rodgers’ most memorable tunes, including "If I Loved You," "My Boy Bill," the gorgeous "Carousel Waltz," and the show-stopping "You’ll Never Walk Alone." In 1999, Time Magazine voted Carousel the "Best Musical of the Century."
