...Librettist Hammerstein has not given Carousel the full flavor of Molnar, at least he has given it all the interest of a true play. His script is always simple, sometimes touching, never flashy, only here & there a little cute. And Composer Rodgers has swathed it in one of his warmest and most velvety scores. More than a succession of tunes, the music helps interpret the story; it has operatic climaxes, choral fullness, choreographic lilt.

Condensed, mellow, with their felicitous phrases and generous perceptions woven unobtrusively into the slow, deliberate prose, they have a flavor that no other fiction possesses."), considerable interest has focussed on the ability of James and of the current producers to meet the drama's demands of immediate, direct response...
