	Perhaps only Rodgers and Hammerstein's favorite musical, Carousel, is fitting to follow the opening two shows of the 2008 season, Time magazine named it the "Best Musical of the Twentieth Century." It came on the heals of "Oklahoma" and announced to the world that the musical stage was changed forever. The love story of Billy Bigelow, who is allowed to return to earth for one day after taking his own life, and the sense of hope and dignity that he instilled in his wife Julie Jordan and their child is perhaps Oscar Hammerstein's greatest literary feat. Combined with the music of Richard Rodgers and original dances by Agnes de Mille, the adaptation of Ferenc Molnar's play "Liliom," is a seamless piece of American Broadway musical at the height of its Golden Era. "If I Loved You," "June is Bustin' Out All Over" and "You'll Never Walk Alone" are simply perfect pieces of musical theatre.
