Continuing the strive for artistic excellence, Carousel's creative team
of Joseph Palmer, Executive Producer and recently named Artistic
Director Sean Cercone will continue to search out the most dynamic
directors, choreographers and lighting designers across the nation to

A sassy new musical from the author of "Always ... Patsy Cline" will
melt those winter blues away January 12th - March 6th. THE HONKY TONK
ANGELS is a fun lovin' production that's played to sell out crowds -
with classics by Tammy Wynette to Loretta Lynn and modern hits by Dolly
Parton to Reba McIntyre. THE HONKY TONK ANGELS follows three inspired
gals from different backgrounds that meet on a bus to Nashville, ready
to gamble it all for a wild and crazy career in country music. With more
than 30 songs, ranging from boisterous honky tonk to poignant love
ballads, THE HONKY TONK ANGELS features favorites like "Stand By Your
Man," "Delta Dawn", "Harper Valley PTA," "Amazing Grace,""9-5," "These
Boots Were Made For Walking" and many more. And adding to the fun is our
six-piece band, live on stage. You'll love every note of it, whether
you're a country fanatic, or just love a good time!=20

=20

Inspired by the animated film, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is an enchanting
Academy Award-winning fairy tale for kids and adults alike and magically
transformed for the Carousel stage March 9th  - May 15th! With Disney's
permission, Carousel puts its own creative spin on this captivating
fable that's truly a world-renowned treasure. Set in a provincial French
village, a handsome yet arrogant young prince is doomed by a twisted
spell and turned into a hideous beast. Miserable and alone, he hides
away in his deserted castle for years.=20

But just when he has given up hope, a fair maiden enters his life,
turning his world upside down - and introduces love back into his heart.
Everyone will sing along with Belle, Lumiere and Chip to lighthearted
favorites "Belle," Be Our Guest,"  "Beauty and the Beast" and more. A
sweet love story with a moral lesson for all - that beauty lies within.
Share the magic of live musical theatre with your family - and this tale
as old as time, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.=20

=20

The dancer's version of "American Idol," A CHORUS LINE is a Tony
award-winning musical that's truly "One Singular Sensation!" Find out
what really happens backstage - before the bows, before the accolades
May 18th - July 10th. What's the grueling audition process really like?
Each performer has a dream to shine on Broadway and will do whatever it
takes to make the final cut! The actors must prove their talent and that
they are more than just another headshot. In this "behind the scenes"
look at a dancer's life, audiences will root for their favorites and
experience the performer's emotional roller coaster of joy, rejection
and triumph. As their personalities and talents are revealed, Zach the
choreographer can only choose eight for the Broadway line - will your
favorite make it to Opening Night? An ultimate expression of musical
theatre, A CHORUS LINE features high-stepping production numbers and a
glitzy grand finale. Set to the snazzy showbiz songs "I Can Do That,"
"What I Did For Love" and "I Hope I Get It" ... be ahead of the rest,
see it at the Carousel before the revival comes to Broadway! This
musical is rated PG-13.

=20

Rodger's and Hammerstein's THE SOUND OF MUSIC comes alive July 13th -
September 11th with fresh staging by our new Artistic team including
Award-Winning Director, Marc Robin! Join Maria and the Von Trapp family
as they embark on a journey of love, hope and survival. Maria,  the
high-spirited postulant, is sent from her Austrian Abbey to govern a
stern and widowed Naval Captain's seven children. Trying to keep them
out of trouble, she teaches this troupe their "Do, Re, Mi's" in the
beautiful hills of Austria. Through heartwarming song, Maria melts the
Captain's cold exterior and makes the Von Trapp's a genuine family once
again. Set to one of the most celebrated Broadway musical scores in
history, including "The Sound of Music," "My Favorite Things," "Sixteen
Going on Seventeen" and "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," this Tony award-winning
musical is in perfect harmony for all ages!

=20

Get ready for the most vivacious musical to hit the stage since GREASE!
Sizzling on stage September 14th - November 13th, FOOTLOOSE is set in
the bible-belt town of Bomont, where dancing is prohibited and rules are
made to be broken - according to Ren McCormack. Ren, a Chicago city boy,
is uprooted and transplanted to a town where Sunday service is the best
form of entertainment. Dying to 'cut-loose', Ren is ready to take on the
town council and the Rev. Shaw Moore to amend the law.=20

=20

Ren and the Reverend's daughter, Ariel, are in love and ready to take on
the world, but can they convince the town to let go of the past? Sure to
bring out the fun-loving teenager in every generation - audiences will
be dancing in the aisles to the feel-good FOOTLOOSE as the Kevin Bacon
movie comes alive on stage! Featuring electric hits from the
multi-platinum movie soundtrack "Let's Hear It For the Boy," "Holding
out for a Hero," "Almost Paradise" and "Footloose," this Broadway
musical will rock the house!

=20

Jumpin' and jivin' for the holidays! With sparkling energy, the
Tony-nominated SWING! highlights over 30 exuberant songs and Tour de
force dance sequences backed by a fabulous live swing band, November
16th - January 8th. Some songs comic, some amorous, some nostalgic and
some sultry, SWING! snaps its fingers to "It Don't Mean A Thing,"
"Jumpin' At Woodside," "In The Mood," "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" "I'll Be
Seeing You" "GI Jive" and more. With songs made popular by the likes of
The Andrew Sisters, Louis Armstrong and The Tommy Dorsey Band, SWING!
was a phenomenon that grew out of Harlem's hotbed of music in the '30s
and '40s and shattered ethnic and cultural barriers. Peppered with a
modern twist, this show is not strictly about the jitterbug, baby.
SWING! infuses a contemporary feeling of dance styles from country line
dancing to hip-hop - featuring highflying choreography that'll knock
your bobby socks off. And, Carousel has splashed the show with its own
jazzy touch, set in the yuletide season. The show WNBC called "Two hours
of joy!" will make you boogie-woogie all the way home and have you
coming back for more. Because it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that
Carousel holiday swing!
