CAROUSEL

Arts Express presents the Tony Award-winning classic musical Carousel, with music by Richard Rodgers and book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. Named the best musical of the 20th Century by Time magazine, Carousel follows Billy Bigelow and Julie Jordan through their journey of love, loss and redemption and soars with unforgettable songs including If I Loved You, June Is Bustin’ Out All Over and You’ll Never Walk Alone. With its soaring and lush musical score and dramatic story full of rich and complex characters, it asks the question: Do all of us deserve a second chance? A live orchestra, brilliant sets and lush costumes will complement this celebrated Broadway score.
