Events Our 10th Anniversary show
is going to be the wonderful and well-loved musical
Adapted from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein Broadway musical of the same name - which, in turn, was based on Liliom, a play by Ferenc Molnar - it is often considered to be one of Rodgers & Hammerstein's most beautiful scores, and was apparently Richard Rogers' personal favourite. The plot is about a carnival barker named Billy Bigelow, working on a carousel at a local amusement park, who falls in love with a factory girl (Julie) in a seashore town in Maine. But as well as being a ladies' man, he is a rough and tumble sort of guy who squanders his life and his love for this girl, mistreating her a bit until he realises that she is pregnant. Yet his attempts to improve their life, and that of their coming child, turn to disaster. 16 years later Billy is given the chance to redeem himself by returning to earth, unseen by anyone. After an initial failure to do so, he is later able to inspire his 15yr old daughter and his wife Julie with hope, to the music of that truly inspirational song: You'll Never Walk Alone.
