Good Theater is proud to continue its 20th anniversary season with Carousel, running October 5th through October 30th. Based on the play Liliom by Hungarian playwright Ferenc Molnár, Carousel features a book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and music by Richard Rodgers. Since it premiered on Broadway in 1945, it has seen several Broadway and West End revivals, as well as a 1956 film adaptation. Directed by Brian Allen, the production will star Jackie Grigg as Julie Jordan, Joel Crowley as Billy Bigelow, and feature an ensemble of 15. Victoria Stubbs (Music Director) and Miriam Schwanauer will play the twin pianos. Carousel will feature choreography by Betsy Dunphy, with ballet choreography by Nell Shipman of Portland Ballet. Carousel will play November 9th - December 4th, 2022 at Good Theater’s home, the St. Lawrence Arts Center, 76 Congress Street, Portland.

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s masterpiece comes to life on the Good Theater stage in a unique, intimate setting. Featuring the stunning twin-piano arrangement, classic tunes such as “If I Loved You,” “June is Bustin’ Out All Over,” “It Was a Real Nice Clambake” and the immortal “You’ll Never Walk Alone” will transport audiences to a coastal Maine village. Experience this glorious story and score, unplugged and unamplified with a cast of 17 singers, actors, and dancers.
