Carousel

Gateway Playhouse presents Rodgers and Hammerstein’s immortal musical Carousel, a poignant fable of a love that transcends death and
time. The show was Richard Rodgers’ and Oscar Hammerstein’s personal favorite, and is one of the shows most often requested by Gateway patrons.

Broadway veteran D.B. Bonds has been cast in the pivotal role of Jigger, who convinces the charismatic carousel barker Billy Bigelow to join him in a
robbery. Out of work and desperate to support his pregnant wife, Julie,
Billy agrees – with disastrous results. The superb score, one of the most melodic and complex ever composed for musical theatre, includes “If I Loved You”, “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, and the hauntingly beautiful “Carousel Waltz”.

Bob Durkin directs with musical direction by Jeff Buchsbaum.
