Carousel

Carousel is adapted from Ferenc Molnár’s 1909 play Liliom. The story revolves around carousel barker Billy Bigelow, whose romance with millworker Julie Jordan comes at the price of both their jobs. He attempts a robbery to provide for Julie and their unborn child; when it goes wrong, he has a chance to make things right. The show includes the well-known songs “If I Loved You”, “June Is Bustin’ Out All Over” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone”. Remounted on Broadway in 1997 by director Nicholas Hytner, the show was said to be Richard Rodger’s favorite.
