About this activity

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel has returned to Broadway in a production NPR calls, “The best musical of the season, by far.” Three-time Tony Award® winner Jack O’Brien’s “sumptuous revival is a high-water mark of classic American musical theater” (Time Out). Starring Tony nominee Joshua Henry, Tony winner Jessie Mueller and four-time Grammy® winner Renée Fleming, with choreography by New York City Ballet’s Justin Peck, “this ravishing Carousel tingles with the rapture of life in all its contradictions” (The New York Times).

Set in a small New England factory town, Carousel describes the tragic romance between a troubled carnival barker and the woman who gives up evertyhing for him. With a score full of “the theater’s most beautiful and enduring songs” (Variety), brought to life through “choreography that would send Rodgers & Hammerstein themselves into waves of happy shivers" (The Washington Post), this incandescently staged story of passion, loss and redemption is “one of the most moving experiences in all of musical theater” (New York Magazine).

“God is in Carousel,” raves The Chicago Tribune. “It’s the greatest musical ever written.” Don’t miss this ecstatically acclaimed production of one of musical theater’s rarest treasures. “What a gift to have it back on Broadway” (The Hollywood Reporter). Please note that Renée Fleming will not be performing the role of Nettie Fowler during the following periods: Tuesday, September 4, 2018 through Sunday, October 28, 2018 Thursday, December 27, 2018 through Sunday, January 6, 2019
