I wouldn't change a thing. I thought it was a wonderful production.

Cutting the material was criminal.
Some chemistry between Henry and Mueller would have also been nice.

Never John Doyle! Since operas often bring back staged productions from the past, I wonder why Broadway revivals don’t look to directors of successful past productions and have them repeat past successes. I know it wouldn’t necessarily work all of the time...but bringing back Hytner’s production could have been spectacular. I saw it four times.

It definitely would've been interesting to see what Bartlett Sher would've done with Carousel. Then again, Christopher Wheeldon also would've been a better choice to direct (and choreograph) as well.
