Carnival! Opens at Near West Theatre on November 16th! This show features our Intergenerational Cast, ages 7 & up Music and Lyrics by Bob Merrill Book by Michael Stewart Based on Material by Helen Deutsch Directed by Bob Navis Jr Naïve orphan Lili happens upon a failing carnival troupe in the south of France and meets puppeteer Paul, a former ballet dancer and a war hero, now lame and unable to ever dance again. Paul forms a puppet act with Lili as the main attraction, and the carnival is changed forever! Acclaimed for its simplicity and compassion, Carnival! is an endless parade of color, magic, and dance - and four special puppets sure to win your hearts and imaginations! Based on the 1953 film Lili, Carnival! boasts a charming Bob Merrill score, including the hit song “Love Makes The World Go Round,” which will lift your spirits long after the final bows.
