UNL's School of Music and Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film in the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts will be joining forces with the Lied Center to produce Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Carousel." Students from UNL will perform along with a featured guest actor. Another visiting artist from Broadway will direct this exciting new production. With its elegant music and passionate characters, "Carousel" tells a story of the swaggering, carefree carnival barker, Billy Bigelow, who captivates and marries the naive millworker, Julie Jordan. Billy loses his job just as he learns that Julie is pregnant. Desperate to provide for his family, Billy is coerced into becoming an accomplice to a crime. How Billy ultimately instills his child and her mother with a sense of hope and dignity is dramatic testimony to the power of love. It's easy to understand why, of all the celebrated musicals they created, "Carousel" was Rodgers & Hammerstein's personal favorite.

Billy's downfall affects the lives of everyone in the village. How Billy ultimately instills his child and her mother with a sense of hope and dignity is dramatic testimony to the power of love.
