Given the nothing-short-of-miraculous journey of the musical, so far, however, all things may be possible.
Goodspeed Musicals will welcome Carousel to the main stage this summer. The classic Golden Age musical will run from July 13 - September 23 at the Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam, Conn. Carousel and will celebrate an official opening night on August 1, 2012.
