From the magical evocation of the carousel in the overture to the majestic and moving strains of the immortal "You'll Never Walk Alone", this giant of the musical stage remains timeless and starbright.
Rodgers & Hammerstein adapted the book from a famous Hungarian play by Ferenc Molnar, but made Maine, New England the setting for the poignant story of the faithful Julie and her brutish husband Billy. One of the most powerful books of the musical theatre and an extraordinary score from Rodgers make Carousel one of the greatest of all musicals (Time magazine voted it the greatest of the twentieth century; it was also Rodgers & Hammerstein's favourite of their own shows).
