Seventy years (less a day or two) after Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein’s Carousel opened on Broadway, Creston’s Footlighters Theatre Society will be presenting the popular musical at Prince Charles Theatre. Featuring a pair of romances and a string of familiar numbers, the production directed by Frank Goodsir, who penned and directed December ’s sold-out
Cinderella, promises to be another hit for the community theatre group. “It’s a show whose passion grabs you, I would say,” said music director Simone Wiebe. “It’s the kind of music that the more you listen to it, the more you love it.” It wasn’t supposed to happen this way. The Footlighters schedule originally called for Beauty and the Beast but a decision was made late in 2014 to delay its presentation until 2017. SEE CAROUSEL, PAGE 14
