I agree with all the answers above, but "June is Bustin' Out all Over" is a great song too. It's good that Billy and Julie have good chemistry. Just as a side story, I met Christine Johnson, who sang the original "You'll Never Walk Alone". She was a great aunt of a friend of mine and she could still sing that song amazingly well in her 80s! She told us that Rogers and Hammersteein were great friends of theirs and they had fun working on their shows. Anyway, it's always good to know when another group of people are getting to perform the story of Carousel. I hope you all have a great time doing the show and carry the memory of all its beauty and magic for the rest of your lives. Break a leg!

"Why did the kids put beans in their ears?"

sure! (heard not seen)

I LOVE carousel. Of course I was in the orchestra pit so I really liked the music. Only, I can't remember my favorite part, just that I really like it lol

nope =]

I read the book in school. I also saw the movie on TV many times.

My favorite song is when he is thinking about his son that can grow up like him and then realizes the child might be a girl who required nurturing. He worries about her "being dragged up in slums with a bunch of bums... like me."

Favorite song is definitely "If I loved you"

What a great show you will have! Good luck. I wish I could see it!

we went to see it on broadway years ago it's a great musical - i remember a fun song about a clam bake and wasn't you'll never walk alone in it too? you guys will have a great time! break a leg!

If I Loved You....

time and again I would try to say, all I'd want you to know...
=)
good song

I love "Carousel"....never fails, everytime I hear "You'll Never Walk Alone", I cry....but I also think "If I Loved You" is a great love song. Once Billy thinks theiving will make things better for him and his family, I hate that he dies. But I am so touched that he gets a second chance at making a difference in his daughter's life...as I said, I always cry at the end...no matter what, Julie's love for Billy never faded. Don't forget "What's the Use of Wonderin":)

I did that show in high school, a very long time ago! I remember I had the a great time and still remember some of it. I could not tell you a scene or song from it. Have a blast break a leg...
