Carousel

The Miracle Theatre
280 Miracle Mile Coral Gables

With one of the most powerful books in musical theatre history and immortal songs like "If I Loved You," "June Is Bustin' Out All Over" and "You'll Never Walk Alone," it's easy to understand why, of all the shows they created together, Carousel was Rodgers and Hammerstein's personal fave. It's the poignant and heartbreaking story of swaggering, carefree carnival barker Billy Bigelow, who captivates the naive millworker Julie. As luck would have it, just as they learn that Julie's pregnant, Billy loses his job -- and gets involved in a bank robbery to make ends meet. Things go horribly awry, but years later Billy gets the chance to see his wife and the daughter he never knew. How Billy instills in both his child and her mother a sense of hope and dignity is a dramatic testimony to the power of love. Experience for yourself the show Time magazine dubbed the "Best Musical of the 20th Century" when Carousel hits Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre in Coral Gables.
