Carousel

Matinee and Evening Performances Available.

New England, 1873: when a travelling carnival pitches up in a small fishing village, an unlikely relationship develops between the charismatic carousel barker, Billy Bigelow, and Julie Jordan, a naïve local mill worker. Within weeks - and against everyone’s advice - the seemingly ill-matched lovers are married.

But Billy’s fiery temper quickly causes problems for the newly-weds. After losing his job, Billy begins to feel hemmed in by the constraints of married life. And his financial difficulties quickly mount. The discovery that he is soon to be a father only intensifies Billy’s need to find some cash – and fast.

So when Billy’s friend, the shady sailor Jigger, suggests that robbing the local mill owner could solve all of Billy’s problems, Billy doesn’t take much persuading. But the robbery goes horribly wrong - and Billy ends up risking not only his life, but also his immortal soul . . .

A dramatic testament to the enduring power of love, Carousel is Rodgers & Hammerstein’s towering achievement. Featuring a large cast and live orchestra, PFT’s flagship production for 2016 promises unforgettable musical entertainment, including June Is Bustin’ Out All Over, If I Loved You, Mr. Snow and, of course, the heart-rending You’ll Never Walk Alone.
