‘The best musical of the twentieth century.’
Time Magazine
Green Room Productions return with Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical Carousel.
Carousel revolves around the ill-fated love affair between Billy Bigelow, a swaggering, carefree carnival barker, and gentle millworker Julie Jordan. Marrying only weeks after they first meet, against everyone’s advice, their relationship hits a rocky road as Billy struggles with financial difficulties and the constraints of settling down. On learning he is to become a father, Billy vows to change his ways and provide for his family, but he falls in with the wrong crowd and dies in the aftermath of a robbery gone horribly wrong.
Sent to purgatory for 15 years, Billy is given one day to return to earth to redeem his soul, where he reaches out to his daughter. But is it too little too late?
Society continues to struggle with the issue of domestic violence and, eighty years on from its 1945 debut, this ground-breaking musical remains as relevant today as ever.
With its rapturously beautiful score and iconic songs including If I Loved You, June is Busting Out All Over and You’ll Never Walk Alone, Carousel is often cited as one of the finest musicals ever to grace a stage.
Join us for this tale of beguiling beauty, explosive passion and unbearable intimacy in the most emotionally potent of all the great Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II musicals.
