“Carousel” is a tale of romance and tragedy, hope and redemption, set in a gritty nineteenth-century Maine mill-and-seafaring town. It centers on the unexpected and rocky romance of a tough drifter, carnival barker Billy Bigelow and Julie Jordan, a willful mill girl. Together they face the consequences of their rash choices – particularly after Billy falls in with the raffish sailor Jigger Craigin. Also told is the tale of romance between Julie’s effervescent pal, Carrie and fisherman Enoch Snow, who dreams of success and a big family.
