Carousel is my favorite of the R & H musicals.
I rarely disagree with Mark Steyn, but he thought that pipsqueak Frank Sinatra would have been a better Billy Bigelow than Gordon McRae (and presumably John Raitt). Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

Gordon MacRae has the swagger and braggadocio for the part. I always enjoyed his work.

Never disagree with Mark Steyn. :)
Frank Sinatra was hardly a pipsqueak. (Good boxer)
I think Steyn thinks the way he does about this because of Sinatra’s rendition of Soliloquy. Best version is on the “Concert Sinatra” album.

My favorite Frank Sinatra song. The instrumentalists were on strike at the time, so there are no musical instruments on this recording.
