The first Broadway production of Carousel in the new millennium was one to remember, and this cast album preserves the impeccable talents featured in Jack O’Brien’s illustrious production. Among them were Joshua Henry, Jessie Mueller and Lindsay Mendez, alongside American opera star Renée Fleming singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” Under the musical direction of Andy Einhorn, this production used gorgeous new orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick. A special edition of the album was released with spoken audio commentary by R&H scholar Todd S. Purnum, detailing the creation and development of Carousel.
