Carousel shines despite turmoil at Dayton theater
Hoisted by a shaky startup, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel opened at Dayton Music Theater with Howard Keel delivering a strong performance. Cast and crew faced last minute changes as Columbus shows were dropped and the company merged with Dayton. Despite minimal rehearsals and a looming pink slip for many, the production impressed audiences with standout turns by Keel Lenn and Hansen, memorable scenes, and a catchy score. Tickets were sold at the Tinkling Bell.
