KU 'Carousel' Closes After Sellout Stand
The tents are coming down. The ice cream is melting and the painted horses are being put into trucks. "Carousel" has its final performance at 8 p.m. today.
For three performances this week every seat in Fraser Theater has been filled. The show tonight has been sold out since Monday. Nathaniel Eek, instructor in speech and drama, said that about 40 people placed their name on a waiting list before each performance, hoping for cancellations. In the past two years no show produced by the University has played to a full house each night until Billy Bigelow and his friends pitched their tent.
The first Billy Bigelow had his earthly troubles and went to meet the Starkeeper ten years ago from Broadway. He probably stands up there and watches with interest each time he and his friends come to life down here on various theater stages. He should have been very pleased this week. He had a lot of reasons.
He must have felt his wings several times to make sure he wasn't on the stage of Fraser Theater when Dale Moore, Olathe graduate student, sang "Sollioquy" or "The Highest Judge of All." He couldn't have Coleman, Lawrence junior, as Julie sang "If I Loved You" with Billy under a darkened street light.
When he saw Barbara Blount, Larned senior, bounce through her love affair and marriage with Enoch Snow, Jr., played by Glenn Pierce, Lawrence junior, he probably applauded harder than the appreciate University audiences.
He must have been happy to see that Jigger, played by John Wesley, Ulysses sophomore, was an unchangeable rascal but still put on a fine show. When he heard Star-keeper, played by Frank Laban, Lawrence graduate student, and Heavenly Friend, played by Bruce Dillman, Independence, Kan, senior, he probably wished he could hear solid New England accents like those up there.
Mrs. Tomi Yadon, Lawrence junior, did the choreography for the ballet scene and danced the part of Billy's daughter, Louise. The Billy up there must have felt it his duty to return and lend the helping hand Mrs. Yadon expressed she needed so perfectly as Louise.
There were a lot more reasons for Billy to be pleased. The dancers and the chorus were excellent. The orchestra couldn't have been better when Billy sang before one of his own.
He must feel rather sad when a cast that has done "Carousel" so well takes down the tents and puts away the horses.
