Carousel revival at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre releases footage in new trailer
Timothy Sheader's reinterpretation of the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical is running to 25 September and features classic numbers such as "If I Loved You" and "You'll Never Walk Alone". The pair's second musical follows the misfortunes of carousel barker Billy Bigelow and his family.
The show is also working with Refuge, a charity to aid those who are affected by domestic violence and other forms of gender-based violence.
WhatsOnStage's Sarah Crompton gave the show five stars, saying: "the cast is as strongly forged as the production; there's not a weak link".
