Carousel - Musical
Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Port na
Craig, Pitlochry PH16 5DR
Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s flagship production for
2016. Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II.
Music by Richard Rodgers. A dramatic testament
to the enduring power of love, Carousel is Rodgers & Hammerstein’s towering achievement. New
England, 1873: when a travelling carnival pitches
up in a small fishing village, an unlikely relationship develops between the charismatic carousel
barker, Billy Bigelow, and Julie Jordan, a naïve
local mill worker. Within weeks - and against
everyone’s advice - the seemingly ill-matched
lovers are married. But Billy’s fiery temper quickly
1
What’s On Highland Perthshire
causes problems for the newly-weds. After losing
his job, Billy begins to feel hemmed in by the
constraints of married life. And his financial difficulties quickly mount. The discovery that he is
soon to be a father only intensifies Billy’s need to
find some cash – and fast. So when Billy’s friend,
the shady sailor Jigger, suggests that robbing the
local mill owner could solve all of Billy’s problems,
Billy doesn’t take much persuading. But the
robbery goes horribly wrong - and Billy ends up
risking not only his life, but also his immortal soul
