Here’s a theater lover’s dream come true: performances of a beloved Broadway musical, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel — featuring one of the world’s great ensembles, our own Minnesota Orchestra, with fantastic actors, costumes and choreography.
Revel in music performed as its creators intended, by a full symphony orchestra — and be there as the Orchestra unveils a new tradition, spotlighting one great American musical each year. As carnival barker Billy Bigelow woos and weds Julie Jordan, their heartrending story unfolds in one unforgettable song after another: “If I Loved You,” “June is Bustin’ Out All Over,” “Soliloquy,” “This is a Real Nice Clambake” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” Come see why Carousel is one of musical theater's greatest, most soul-stirring masterpieces!
