Next Reading - October 24 - Carnival

On October 24, we'll be reading Michael Stewart's and Bob Merrill's 1961 musical, Carnival. Based on the film "Lili" by Helen Deutsch (which was, in turn adapted from a story by Paul Gallico), Carnival is a simultaneously sweet and sad show about magic, bitterness, heartbreak, and love against a backdrop of -  you guessed it - a carnival. Songs include “Love Makes the World Go Round” and "Her Face."




The original production starred Jerry Orbach, Anna Marie Alberghetti, Kay Ballard, and James Mitchell.  Casting will be online soon.  Interested in taking a look at the script or score before signing up?  Send me and email.
