Carousel
With music by Rodgers and Hammerstein this story follows the romance of Billy Bigelow, a charming carousel barker, and Julie Jordan, a pretty worker from a nearby mill. When the young couple gets married, they also both find themselves unemployed, which puts a strain on their relationship. When Billy finds out that Julie is pregnant, he resorts to extreme measures to get money, a decision that leads to tragedy. Billy must learn the lesson of love and the vulnerability that brings in order to reconcile his past mistakes.
