Carousel is the second musical by the team of Richard Rodgers (music) and Oscar Hammerstein II (book and lyrics). The 1945 work was adapted from Ferenc Molnár’s 1909 play Liliom transplanting its Budapest setting to the Maine coastline. The story revolves around carousel barker Billy Bigelow whose romance with millworker Julie Jordan comes at the price of both their jobs.
