Hi everyone, I'm sure you guys can help!
I have been waiting for ages to go and see a London-based verison of Roger and Hammerstein's Carousel.
Does anyone know when if one is being planned, please?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance! Wouldn't it be even more depressing if it was set in London? I'm assuming you mean for the parts on Earth? Or for heaven? |

I think they mean a London revival. We had a poorly received semi-staged production at ENO a couple of years ago, don't know about any planned revival.

It is done a lot. We can’t be too far away from it’s next incarnation
I still have nightmares about ENO’s effort.
I really enjoyed Opera North’s take on if. The Savoy Theatre production was so-so but had some good performances.
I regret not seeing it at the Arcola, hey hum.

Hi there - I'd say it's done every other year or so somewhere in London. Keep an eye out on fringe/off West End venues as one or the other of them tends to do Carousel every now and then. Try www.offwestend.com for listings, or londontheatredirect have pretty good listings too. It's been done a couple of times over the last decade or so in London (I can think of twice, but I may well have forgotten one or two short runs). I can't see a reason for it being done on the West End any time soon, but you never know! If you can see it on the fringe I would go for it - I've seen it three times, and the production I saw in the basement studio of a theatre in Catford remains by far my favourite performance of it. Good luck! |
