Summary of the musical Carousel :
Billy Bigelow (barker at the merry-go-round) and Julie Jordan (who works at the mill), both loners, meet and fall in love. Their marriage ends up costing both of their jobs, and things go downhill. Billy's desperation makes him violent against those he loves most and drives him to commit crimes to support his family. When Billy and con man Jigger Craigin get caught in the middle of an armed robbery, Billy commits suicide.
Fifteen years later, Billy is allowed to return to earth for a day. He meets his daughter, Louise, whom he has never known. Louise is a lonely, friendless teenager, her father's reputation having haunted her throughout her life.
Carousel explores human frailty, resilience and the power of forgiveness.
