One of the best productions of Carousel that I have seen. The cast is amazing. Very few dry eyes in the theatre at the performance I saw.

This was my first time seeing the musical Carousel. My father played Billy Bigilow in a High School Production and this is the first time he has ever said someone has outdone his performance. This is by far the best production of this musical you will EVER see. I saw it in July when Teal Wicks was in the production. James Snyder and Cast you are amazing. I was haunted by the production for a week. I admire the cast and crew. You inspire me everyday!
