"The best musical of the 20th century."
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s CAROUSEL, is one of the most beloved musicals of all time. This celebrated concert performance took place at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre on 7 & 8 September 2024 starring Anna O’Byrne, Marina Prior and Danny Whitehead.
Set in a seaside town in Maine, CAROUSEL follows the love story of Billy Bigelow, a handsome but troubled carousel barker, and Julie Jordan, a young mill worker. It is the enduring tale of love, redemption, and the struggle to find our place in the world.
Since its premiere on Broadway in 1945, CAROUSEL has been praised for its poignant storyline, memorable characters, and unforgettable score, which includes timeless hits such as “If I Loved You”, “Soliloquy”, “June Is Bustin’ Out All Over”, and “You’ll Never Walk Alone”.
