CAROUSEL
A giant of the musical stage, multi-award winning ‘Carousel’ is
a vibrant and timeless story of passion, loss and redemption with
some of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most beautiful and enduring
songs of all time.
Set in 19th Century New England, the poignant story of the faithful
Julie and her robust but charming carnival barker husband Billy
Bigelow, includes such much-loved classics as ‘Mister Snow’,
‘If I Loved You’, ‘June Is Bustin’ Out All Over’, ‘When The Children
Are Asleep’ and the immortal ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’.
When New York-born Billy Bigelow arrives in the small town on the
New England coast, he brings with him chaos and charisma! The
carousel is the centre of excitement and romance – matched only
by the annual clambake that signifies the arrival of summer – and
Billy is quickly hired as a carousel barker at the town fair. Billy’s
boss, the mercenary Mrs. Mullin, is irritated when local girl Julie
Jordan is attracted to Billy. Detached and footloose, trying to catch
Billy is like trying to catch a cloud, but Julie is determined – and
willing to sacrifice everything for her man.
From the enigmatic love story and the enchanting, energetic
clambake, to the heart-warming vow from Billy to restore pride
to his family, ‘Carousel’ – voted the greatest musical of the 20th
Century – promises to delight and uplift audiences.

HALF A SIXPENCE
Half A Sixpence’ is the delightful British musical comedy packed
with exuberant choreography, a myriad of mirth, colourful
costumes and show-stopping numbers including ‘Flash, Bang,
Wallop!’, ‘Money to Burn’ and of course ‘Half A Sixpence’.
Arthur Kipps, an orphan and over-worked draper’s assistant at the
turn of the last century, is a charming but ordinary young man who,
along with his fellow apprentices, dreams of a better and more
fulfilling world. When Kipps unexpectedly inherits a fortune that
propels him into high society, it confuses everything he thought he
knew about life. His childhood companion, Ann Pornick, watches
with dismay as Arthur is made over in a new image by the beautiful
and classy Helen Walsingham. Helen is always there with helpful
hints on how Arthur could improve himself and make his life richer
and more meaningful, if only he would believe in himself, and listen
to her. Undoubtedly both young women love Arthur – but which of
them should he listen to? With the help of his friends, Arthur learns
that if you want to have the chance of living the right life, you need
to make the right choices.
This new Award-winning stage version, inspired by HG Wells’
semi-autobiographical book Kipps: The Story of a Simple Soul, is
a completely fresh adaptation for the modern age and a charming
tale with a happy ending that will delight audiences both young
and old!
