“Carnival” at
Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey
“Carnival”
Based on the 1953 movie "Lili", this dazzling musical theater classic
tells the story of a young orphan girl who finds romance and adventure
in the magical world of a traveling circus in Southern France.
Roustabouts, puppets and circus acts fill the stage, while the story is
told through hauntingly touching music, including the songs "Love Makes
the World Go Round" and "It Was Always You". With music and lyrics by
Bob Merrill and book by Michael Stewart, "Carnival" won the 1961 New
York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical and was nominated for
seven Tony Awards.
