Carousel in Concert, Lamplighters Tour Bay Area
The Bay Area's acclaimed Lamplighters Music Theatre presents Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's sweeping musical CAROUSEL in concert as part of the Gas Lamp Spring Operetta Series.
Featuring Lamplighters' unparalleled orchestra and a cast of 40 highlighting the phenomenal voices of the Lamplighters company, this sumptuous work from the Golden Era of Broadway includes such hallmark songs as "If I Loved You," "My Boy Bill," "You'll Never Walk Alone," and the gorgeous "Carousel Waltz." Dennis Lickteig directs this semi-staged, costumed production with Lamplighters Musical Director Baker Peeples at the baton.
"Set in a small New England seaside town, CAROUSEL follows the love story of Billy Bigelow, a smooth-talking carnival barker, and Julie Jordan, a spunky local factory worker he seduces," states press notes, "Desperate for money after learning that he and Julie will be parents, Billy attempts a foolish robbery. In a break with musical theater tradition, this hero dies before the show ends, and the action moves to heaven, where he must redeem himself in order to gain entry. When he is allowed to return to earth for one day, Billy visits his wife and the daughter he never knew in order to make amends for the past."
