Carousel opened in 1973 in a converted supermarket, then moved to its current location in 1988. People can see the show while enjoying the meal, or fore go the meal in favor of just taking in the show . More theater people from New York have flocked there recently. This means the shows are even better than in the past.
”Wicked” has been a very popular play . This is a story that takes place before the Wizard of Oz and involves many of the witches in that world. From August to November of 2008 the Carousel urges theater patrons to see the “story that started it all,” the original story Wizard of Oz presented in a stage play. The frame around the stage that moves the sets around, the Proscenium, is very intricate.
