CAROUSEL

by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein
The Living Room remounted their production of Carousel at The Kansas City Repertory Theatre March 8 - April 7, 2013.

From the Rep’s website:

”This is the musical theatre event that last year sparked delight in hearts of audience members and critics alike. And now, the Rep’s Associate Artistic Director Kyle Hatley and The Living Room, one of Kansas City’s most imaginative small theater companies, are bringing their beautifully re-envisioned production of Carousel to Spencer Theatre for a second production, complete with “in-the round” seating. Carousel tells a universal story of love, longing, and doing our utmost for the people we care about, even if it leads to difficult choices with tragic outcomes.”

“Carousel isn't meant to be blithely uplifting, and the version being staged by the Living Room and the Kansas City Repertory Theatre isn't. But it's a happy collaboration, freshening the work without diluting its essential toughness.”
