Carousel |
One of the truly great classic musicals, Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s Carousel broke the mould with its gritty, courageous and emotional look at relationships. The story of the love affair between Billy Bigelow, a smooth-talking carousel barker, and Julie Jordan, a naïve young mill worker, Carousel is set to one of the most ravishing and celebrated scores of all time, the composer Rodger’s personal favourite, including "The Carousel Waltz", "If I Loved You", "June is Bustin’ Out All Over" and "You’ll Never Walk Alone". Carousel has captivated audiences across the world since its original Broadway opening in 1945 and was lauded ‘Best Musical of its Century’ by Time Magazine in 1999.
In this new production by award-winning director, Lindsay Posner, Lesley Garrett, CBE, Britain’s most popular soprano, who recently lifted the roof at the London Palladium as the Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music, plays the pivotal role of ‘Nettie’. Lesley is joined by Jeremiah James as ‘Billy Bigelow’. Best-known as a member of the internationally renowned recording group, TEATRO, Jeremiah has also appeared in the Broadway productions of Legally Blonde, The Full Monty and White Christmas. Playing ‘Julie Jordan’ is Alexandra Silber, who was most recently at London’s Savoy Theatre in the award-winning production of Fiddler on the Roof.
