Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel, according to press notes, takes place in a "Maine coastal village toward the end of the 19th century. The carnival barker Billy Bigelow captivates and marries the millworker Julie Jordan, and both struggle to adapt to their new lives. Suddenly faced with the unexpected prospect of becoming a father, Billy attempts to provide for his family with unfortunate consequences."
