London Coliseum
St. Martin's Lane WC2N 4ES London

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s iconic musical Carousel comes to the London Coliseum in a semi-staged production, starring Katherine Jenkins and Alfie Boe.

When the charming Carousel Barker, Billy Bigelow falls in love with Julie Jordan, little do they realise that their relationship will end in tragedy. Fifteen years after getting caught up in an armed robbery, Billy gets the chance to redeem his past and restore pride to his family.

With much-loved classic songs “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, “If I Loved You”, “Mister Snow” and “June is Bustin Out All Over”, Carousel promises to delight and uplift.

Lonny Price (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Sunset Boulevard) returns to the Coliseum to direct a strictly limited run of 41 performances.

BWW Review: CAROUSEL, London Coliseum
by Nicky Sweetland - April 12, 2017


The English National Opera (ENO) have been criticised in recent years for their staging of musicals. The last two years have seen the company-whose home is the London Coliseum-score huge success with their adaptations of Sweeney Todd and Sunset Boulevard (which starred Hollywood icon Glen Close) and in a recent interview with The Stage, Producer Michael Linnit claimed the ENO 'would not survive' were it not for the revenue generated by putting on more commercial musicals in the venue.
