Carousel: a musical play | Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein

The most beautiful ending to one of the great musical theatre scenes. I love how Laura Osnes plays it in this preview/rehearsal video from the 2015 Lyric Opera of Chicago production (despite Steve Pasquale's silly break of character at the end, this is 10 minutes of perfection):

Any theatre-lovers out there share my obsession with Carousel? #blossoms #WindsOfMarch #SeeMoreTheatre

Eggs Can‘t say I‘m obsessed but my mom played albums (soundtracks) in the 1950/60s of movies/musicals and I sang along: South Pacific, carousel, Oklahoma, etc 4y

Andrea313 @Eggs That's so sweet! That old music can bring back so many memories. ❤️🎶 4y

Carousel: a musical play | Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein

I spent some time today going through the recording liner notes of Carousel's most recent Broadway revival and was disappointed to find only the merest lip service on how problematic the piece is. Gorgeous and groundbreaking, yes- but not without issues. Did any theatre fans out there catch this on Broadway, or have you seen a recent production elsewhere? How do you feel its more disturbing elements were handled? #theatre #seemoremusicals
