🎭 Walk On: The Power of Carousel
Sunday, June 14, 2026 – 3 PM
📍 Gartner Auditorium, Cleveland Museum of Art
🎤 A Powerful Live Performance
Hosted by Bill Rudman and Nancy Maier, Walk On: The Power of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel features singers/actors, chorus and instrumental ensemble in a stirring docu-concert presentation.
Blending live performance with illuminating commentary and rare archival images and video, this dynamic program explores the musical’s creation, cultural impact and enduring emotional resonance — revealing why Carousel remains one of the most transformative works in American musical theater.
From the soaring hope of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” to the sweeping beauty of its unforgettable score, this performance brings one of Broadway’s most profound masterpieces vividly to life.
🎭 Why Carousel Matters
Created in 1945 by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, Carousel changed Broadway forever. With its lush orchestration and deeply human storytelling, it expanded what musical theater could express — bringing psychological depth, vulnerability and emotional power to the stage.
📖 Time magazine named it the Best Musical of the 20th Century.
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of extraordinary music, insight and live performance celebrating a work that continues to move and inspire generations.
