RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN'S CAROUSEL
CAROUSEL’s romance of Billy Bigelow and Julie Jordan is one of musical theater’s classic stories. We witness one man’s shot at redemption in this Rodgers and Hammerstein masterpiece that hasn’t been professionally produced in WNY in over 20 years. The show includes the well-known songs "If I Loved You" and "You'll Never Walk Alone" and won the 1994 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. Don’t miss the show that composer Richard Rodgers said was his favorite of all of his musicals!
The running time of the production is approximately 2 hours 30 minutes, including intermission.
