Now a beloved classic, Carousel—with music by Richard Rodgers and book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II—was hailed by Time Magazine as “the best musical of the 20th Century.” Based on Hungarian playwright Ferenc Molnár’s 1909 play, Liliom, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel transfers the story from Europe to the Maine coastline and revolves around the tragic romance between carousel barker Billy Bigelow and mill worker Julie Jordan. The musical includes such highlights as “If I Loved You,” “June Is Bustin’ Out All Over,” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
