Musical Sunday #4 - Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein's "Carousel"



We continued the series with Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein's Carousel.

The story of carousel barker Billy Bigelow and his trials as a man, a husband, and a soon-to-be father. Gordon MacRae (barker Billy Bigelow) and Shirley Jones (mill worker Julie Jordan) star in wonderful tale -- that I liked, but the kids were indifferent.

I guess as a father I can relate the struggles that Billy has, and that might be the point where the kids lost interest... well that and the songs and dances are looooong and that might have bored them.

Anyways, next week it's Donny Osmond in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
