href="/wiki/Richard_Rodgers" title="Richard Rodgers">Richard Rodgers</a> (music) and <a href="/wiki/Oscar_Hammerstein_II" title="Oscar Hammerstein II">Oscar Hammerstein II</a> (book and lyrics). The 1945 work was adapted from <a href="/wiki/Ferenc_Moln%C3%A1r" title="Ferenc Molnár">Ferenc Molnár</a>'s 1909 play <i><a href="/wiki/Liliom" title="Liliom">Liliom</a></i>, transplanting its <a href="/wiki/Budapest" title="Budapest">Budapest</a> setting to the <a href="/wiki/Maine" title="Maine">Maine</a> coastline. The story revolves around <a href="/wiki/Carousel" title="Carousel">carousel</a> <a href="/wiki/Barker_(occupation)" title="Barker (occupation)">barker</a> Billy Bigelow, whose romance with millworker Julie Jordan comes at the price of both their jobs. He participates in a robbery to provide for Julie and their unborn child; after it goes tragically wrong, he is given a chance to make things right. A secondary plot line deals with millworker Carrie Pipperidge and her romance with ambitious fisherman Enoch Snow. The show includes the well-known songs "<a href="/wiki/If_I_Loved_You" title="If I Loved You">If I Loved You</a>", "June Is Bustin' Out All Over" and "<a href="/wiki/You%27ll_Never_Walk_Alone" title="You'll Never Walk Alone">You'll Never Walk Alone</a>". Richard Rodgers later wrote that <i>Carousel</i> was his favorite of all his musicals. </p><p>Following the spectacular success of the first <a href="/wiki/Rodgers_and_Hammerstein" title="Rodgers and Hammerstein">Rodgers and Hammerstein</a> musical, <i><a href="/wiki/Oklahoma!" title="Oklahoma!">Oklahoma!</a></i> (1943), the pair sought to collaborate on another piece, knowing that any resulting work would be compared with <i>Oklahoma!</i>, most likely unfavorably. They were initially reluctant to seek the rights to <i>Liliom</i>; Molnár had refused permission for the work to be adapted in the past, and the original ending was considered too depressing for the musical theatre. After acquiring the rights, the team created a work with lengthy sequences of music and made the ending more hopeful. </p><p>The musical required considerable modification during out-of-town tryouts, but once it opened on <a href="/wiki/Broadway_theatre" title="Broadway theatre">Broadway</a> on April 19, 1945, it was an immediate hit with both critics and audiences. <i>Carousel</i> initially ran for 890 performances and duplicated its success in the <a href="/wiki/West_End_theatre" title="West End theatre">West End</a> in 1950. Though it has never achieved as much commercial success as <i>Oklahoma!</i>, the piece has been repeatedly revived, recorded several times and was <a href="/wiki/Carousel_(film)" title="Carousel (film)">filmed in 1956</a>. A production by <a href="/wiki/Nicholas_Hytner" title="Nicholas Hytner">Nicholas Hytner</a> enjoyed success in 1992 in London, in 1994 in New York and on tour. Another Broadway revival opened in 2018.

However, the notes taken at their meeting of December 7, 1943 state: "Mr. Rodgers suggested a fine musical number for the end of the scene where Liliom discovers he is to be a father, in which he sings first with pride of the growth of a boy, and then suddenly realizes it might be a girl and changes completely."<sup id="cite_ref-edsel_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-edsel-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Liliom_prologue.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/93/Liliom_prologue.jpg/310px-Liliom_prologue.jpg" decoding="async" width="310" height="169" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/93/Liliom_prologue.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="339" data-file-height="185" /></a><figcaption>The opening carnival scene in <i>Liliom</i> inspired the <a href="/wiki/Mime_artist" title="Mime artist">pantomime</a> that begins <i>Carousel</i>; 1921</figcaption></figure> <p>Hammerstein and Rodgers returned to the <i>Liliom</i> project in mid-1944.

The way Molnár wrote it, the man ends up hitting his daughter and then having to go back to purgatory, leaving his daughter helpless and hopeless. We couldn't accept that. The way we ended <i>Carousel</i> it may still be a tragedy but it's a hopeful one because in the final scene it is clear that the child has at last learned how to express herself and communicate with others.<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> </blockquote> <p>When the pair decided to make "This Was a Real Nice Clambake" into an ensemble number, Hammerstein realized he had no idea what a clambake was like, and researched the matter. Based on his initial findings, he wrote the line, "First came codfish chowder". However, further research convinced him the proper term was "codhead chowder", a term unfamiliar to many playgoers. He decided to keep it as "codfish". When the song proceeded to discuss the lobsters consumed at the feast, Hammerstein wrote the line "We slit 'em down the back/And peppered 'em good". He was grieved to hear from a friend that lobsters are always slit down the front. The lyricist sent a researcher to a seafood restaurant and heard back that lobsters are always slit down the back. Hammerstein concluded that there is disagreement about which side of a lobster is the back. One error not caught involved the song "June Is Bustin' Out All Over", in which sheep are depicted as seeking to mate in late spring—they actually do so in the winter. Whenever this was brought to Hammerstein's attention, he told his informant that 1873 was a special year, in which sheep mated in the spring.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Rodgers early decided to dispense with an overture, feeling that the music was hard to hear over the banging of seats as latecomers settled themselves.<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In his autobiography, Rodgers complained that only the brass section can be heard during an overture because there are never enough strings in a musical's small orchestra.

Julie sees Billy trying to sneak away with Jigger and, trying to stop him, feels the knife hidden in his shirt. She begs him to give it to her, but he refuses and leaves to commit the robbery. </p><p>As they wait, Jigger and Billy gamble with cards. They stake their shares of the anticipated robbery spoils. Billy loses: his participation is now pointless. Unknown to Billy and Jigger, Mr. Bascombe, the intended victim, has already deposited the mill's money. The robbery fails: Bascombe pulls a gun on Billy while Jigger escapes. Billy stabs himself with his knife; Julie arrives just in time for him to say his last words to her and die. Julie strokes his hair, finally able to tell him that she loved him. Carrie and Enoch, reunited by the crisis, attempt to console Julie; Nettie arrives and gives Julie the resolve to keep going despite her despair ("<a href="/wiki/You%27ll_Never_Walk_Alone_(song)" class="mw-redirect" title="You'll Never Walk Alone (song)">You'll Never Walk Alone</a>"). </p><p>Billy's defiant spirit ("The Highest Judge of All") is taken Up There to see the Starkeeper, a heavenly official. The Starkeeper tells Billy that the good he did in life was not enough to get into heaven, but so long as there is a person alive who remembers him, he can return for a day to try to do good to redeem himself. He informs Billy that fifteen years have passed on Earth since his suicide, and suggests that Billy can get himself into heaven if he helps his daughter, Louise. He helps Billy look down from heaven to see her (instrumental ballet: "Billy Makes a Journey"). Louise has grown up to be lonely and bitter. The local children ostracize her because her father was a thief and a wife-beater. In the dance, a young ruffian, much like her father at that age, flirts with her and abandons her as too young. The dance concludes, and Billy is anxious to return to Earth and help his daughter. He steals a star to take with him, as the Starkeeper pretends not to notice. </p><p>Outside Julie's cottage, Carrie describes her visit to New York with the now-wealthy Enoch. Carrie's husband and their many children enter to fetch her—the family must get ready for the high school graduation later that day. Enoch Jr., the oldest son, remains behind to talk with Louise, as Billy and the Heavenly Friend escorting him enter, invisible to the other characters. Louise confides in Enoch Jr. that she plans to run away from home with an acting troupe. He says that he will stop her by marrying her, but that his father will think her an unsuitable match. Louise is outraged: each insults the other's father, and Louise orders Enoch Jr. to go away. Billy, able to make himself visible at will, reveals himself to the sobbing Louise, pretending to be a friend of her father. He offers her a gift—the star he stole from heaven. She refuses it and, frustrated, he slaps her hand. He makes himself invisible, and Louise tells Julie what happened, stating that the slap miraculously felt like a kiss, not a blow—and Julie understands her perfectly. Louise retreats to the house, as Julie notices the star that Billy dropped; she picks it up and seems to feel Billy's presence ("If I Loved You (Reprise)"). </p><p>Billy invisibly attends Louise's graduation, hoping for one last chance to help his daughter and redeem himself. The beloved town physician, Dr. Seldon (who resembles the Starkeeper) advises the graduating class not to rely on their parents' success or be held back by their failure (words directed at Louise). Seldon prompts everyone to sing an old song, "You'll Never Walk Alone". Billy, still invisible, whispers to Louise, telling her to believe Seldon's words, and when she tentatively reaches out to another girl, she learns she does not have to be an outcast. Billy goes to Julie, telling her at last that he loved her. As his widow and daughter join in the singing, Billy is taken to his heavenly reward. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Principal_roles_and_notable_performers">Principal roles and
