With songs like “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” “If I Loved You” and the “Carousel Waltz,” the Rodgers and Hammerstein book musical deals with weighty subjects set Maine in the 1870s, with a redemptive story that brings the classic to a satisfying end. As the second collaboration of the famous theatrical partners, the show predates the Tony Awards but did garner several in the ’90s for a revival, including Audra McDonald in the lead and later in 2018 for another revival. The show will run July 31-Aug. 1.
