⭐ RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN’S CAROUSEL – WATERMILL THEATRE REVIVAL ANNOUNCED ⭐
A brand new revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s CAROUSEL, by Watermill Theatre, has been announced.
Joint CEOs, Artistic Director Paul Hart and Executive Director Claire Murray, and the whole team at Newbury’s award-winning Watermill Theatre are delighted to announce plans for the theatre’s 60th anniversary year in 2027, with an eclectic programme that celebrates six extraordinary decades of theatre-making and community engagement.
The anniversary year will bring together a full season of productions, special events, community and talent development projects, fundraising initiatives and opportunities to celebrate the people, productions and audiences that have shaped the Watermill over the past 60 years.
Over the summer, Paul Hart directs Rodgers and Hammerstein’s CAROUSEL. Continuing the theatre’s approach of reinventing classic titles, this new production will reinvigorate this beloved musical, offering a dynamic new version, with music and dance spanning the theatre and grounds, in a new orchestral adaptation by Stuart Morley, created for actor musicians, and choreography by Anjali Mehra.
As part of bringing this celebrated musical to the stage, the team will also be collaborating with Project Salama, a domestic abuse charity, to explore the way the story of Billy and Julie is told in this production.
CAROUSEL is sponsored by Horsey Lightly Solicitors, one of the most prestigious law firms in the South of England.
CAROUSEL has music by Richard Rodgers, with book & lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II.
Further information to be announced at a later date, including ticket on sale dates.
