Set in Maine in 1873 Carousel follows the story of Julie Jordan, a millworker, and Billy Bigelow, a carousel barker. In love, unemployed, and expecting a child, Billy Bigelow chooses to accompany a friend in a robbery that will change his life and affect the future of his unborn child.

Carousel, Rodgers and Hammersteins second collaboration, was based on the 1909 play Liliom by the Hungarian-born dramatist Ferenc Molnr. The team expected that Carousel would be unfavorably compared with their immensely successful first musical, Oklahoma!, another musical. However, when Carousel opened on Broadway on April 19, 1945, it was met with immediate critical and commercial success. The production was named the best musical of the 20th century by Time in 1999.
