I still can’t see how you can make a musical about a very sad story.

"Carousel" is pretty dark, despite the largely upbeat score.

“Carousel” is considered by many to be the greatest musical in history. Although I just dissed the RSC’s version of “Les Miserables,” I also think that the National Theatre of Great Britain’s production of “Carousel” was absolutely brilliant. Of course, most of the cast were Americans...

True - however was it adapted from a book? Just saying that LM is just too happy. Completely misses the point of the book.
