Written on Apr 30 2011The Lyric Theater performers were WONDERFUL! I remember a lot of these songs from childhood - but I had forgotten what a misogynistic story Carosel is. Not Goldstar's fault - we had great seats, and it was very easy!
Not Lyric's fault either - the whole cast was really good.
My only complaint would be that not everyone could hear the performers over the fantastic orchestra at the Montgomery.
It would be nice to have microphones...

Written on Apr 05 2011What a wonderful show. The leads were incredible, and truly delivered masterful performances. They very much knew how to tug the heartstrings and bring out laughs. The cast was lively and the numbers well paced. Bravo!

Written on Apr 02 2011While "Carousel" is somewhat 'dated' and I do not like the idea that if someone hits you hard, but they love you & don't mean to hurt you, it doesn't hurt, I LOVE the music! The leads were excellent:
Beth Anne Wells was very cute as Carrie Pipperidge; Gary Stanford as Jigger Craigin has a good voice & makes a great villian; Kerie Darner-Moss as Julie Jordan and Sascha Joggerst as Billy Bigelow have beautiful voices. The "ensemble" was good. They all looked like they were real people & were 'engaged'. I enjoyed the dancing, esp. in "June is Bustin' Out All Over." Meb Steiner sang "You'll Never Walk Alone" beautifully in the 2nd Act. I loved the ballet in the 2nd Act. I highly recommend this show!

Written on Apr 01 2011The orchestra gets an A+! Singers get a range of grades, but the principles were very good. We loved the illuminated lyrics above the stage. It helped to know the words as it added to the story for those who hadn't seen it before. We are also impressed that everyone puts forth so much work and such long hours when it is a volunteer effort. Kudos all.

Description
Carousel
Music by Richard Rodgers
Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s favorite collaboration, Carousel was named the best musical of the 20th Century by Time magazine. Julie and Carrie are mill workers in 1870’s New England who fall in love, one with carousel barker Billy and the other with fisherman Mr. Snow. Their lives become very different with the dark fate of the barker and the success of the fisherman. But when angels give Billy a second chance, love, loyalty, forgiveness and faith are the abiding themes given to his child and to the audience. Come hear the great songs and music, “If I Loved You,” “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” “The Carousel Waltz,” and much more.
