Based on the play Liliom by Ferenc Molnár (adapted by Benjamin F. Glazer), Carousel features music by Richard Rodgers and a book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II.
Carousel bowed on Broadway in April 1945 at the Majestic Theatre, where it played 890 performances. The original cast included John Raitt and Jan Clayton. The 1956 Fox film co-starred Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones. The celebrated score includes such tunes as "June Is Bustin' Out All Over," "Mister Snow," "Soliloquy," "What's the Use of Wond'rin'?" and "You'll Never Walk Alone."
