Celebrating 50 years of live musical performances at the Carousel Music Theater with the musical that gave us our name, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s "Carousel!" Enjoy a full-scale concert performance, bringing the magic of Carousel to life. This iconic musical, celebrated for its timeless score and poignant storyline, of the love between a carnival barker and a mill worker, cannot be missed. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the filming of the movie musical right here in Boothbay Harbor, making this performance a special occasion for locals and guests alike. 

The cast has been busy rehearsing in New York City before their arrival in the Harbor. Hear the beloved score of Rodgers and Hammerstein in its full glory and be prepared to be moved by unforgettable songs like “If I Loved You” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” If you want a sneak peek at their powerful voices stop by our Instagram or Facebook pages. 

Meet the unforgettable characters of Billy Bigelow (Caleb Adams), a carefree, carnival barker, who falls in love with and marries the sweet but naive mill worker Julie Jordan (Madelyn Monaghan), and Heather Petruzelli as Nettie Fowler/ Mrs. Mullin.

The Carousel Music Theater is so excited to be welcoming back several members from previous seasons to fill the roles of Carrie Pipperidge (Erika Mesa), Enoch Snow (Paul Urriola), Jigger (Cavontè Green), and Elena Tarpley as the Narrator/Mr. Bascombe, Starkeeper, and Dr. Seldon. And introducing a lovely young actor, not new to the Carousel, but she is to our stage, Sofia Mansfield portraying Louise, the daughter of Julie and Billy. Also making his Carousel debut is Boothbay Region High School student Titan Lewis playing the role of Enoch, Jr. 

Our resident music director, Ashley Grace Ryan, will be playing live for this event. Ashley alone is worth the price of the ticket!
