(1943), composer Richard Rodgers and librettist Oscar Hammerstein II worked again with producers Theresa Helburn and Lawrence Langner, director Rouben Mamoulian, and choreographer Agnes de Mille to put on a very different kind of show. Based on the play Liliom (1909) by Hungarian playwright Ferenc MolnaÌr, Carousel (1945) took Broadway musical theater in a far darker direction than it had gone before with its gritty plot, anti-hero protagonist, and extensive music that critics claimed came close to opera. Carousel transplants the themes of MolnaÌ's play into a new setting on the New England coast, telling the story of two social misfits struggling to survive harsh economic times : Julie Jordan defies the conventions of small-town America in her choice of a husband, and Billy Bigelow--unemployed and prone to domestic violence--dies in the course of committing a robbery. Author Tim Carter examines how this troubling subject matter fits into the context of a country moving through the end of World War II to an uncertain future, and how Carousel transformed the American musical on stage and screen."--Back cover. 600 10 $a Rodgers, Richard, $d 1902-1979. $t Carousel. 600 10 $a Hammerstein, Oscar, $c II, $d 1895-1960. $t Carousel. 600 10 $a Rodgers, Richard, $d 1902-1979 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Hammerstein, Oscar, $c II, $d 1895-1960 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Hammerstein, Oscar, $c II, $d 1895-1960. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01802247 630 07 $a Carousel (Rodgers, Richard) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01381337 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211024511.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180104062157.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C0D95256F11E11E79D0FC10F97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
