Snow lands on top." - A phrase used by the Snow family, signaling Snow's eventual rise to power [src] Canby, Vincent. "Sunday View; 'Carousel,' A Soap Opera No Longer". The New York Times, April 3, 1994. Retrieved on December 26, 2010 Billy decides to visit earth after all. He finds Julie outside her cottage catching up with Carrie, who’s just returned from a trip to New York City. They are all on their way to Louise and Enoch Junior’s graduation. Billy watches as Louise reveals her plan to run away and become an actress. Enoch Junior, worried about this plan, offers to marry her despite the inevitable difficulty of convincing his father to let him marry so far beneath his station. Louise forcibly rejects the offer and, as Enoch Junior leaves, Billy puts his foot out to trip him. Other characters catch our notice—Mr. Bascombe, the pompous mill owner, Mrs. Mullin, the widow who runs the carousel and, apparently, Billy; a dancing bear; an acrobat. But what draws us in is the intensity with which Julie regards Billy—the way she stands frozen, staring at him, while everyone else at the fair is swaying to the rhythm of Billy's spiel. And as Julie and Billy ride together on the swirling carousel, and the stage picture surges with the excitement of the crowd, and the orchestra storms to a climax, and the curtain falls, we realize that R & H have not only skipped the overture and the opening number but the exposition as well. They have plunged into the story, right into the middle of it, in the most intense first scene any musical ever had. [34] Casting and out-of-town tryouts [ edit ] Phillips, Michael.

As a youth, Snow had been raised on the belief that his family name meant prestige and power. His experience, however, was tempered by the fact that he was an orphan and that the loss his family's fortune due being invested in District 13 munitions meant that he had spent much of his early life in poverty. He a had a strong bond with his cousin Tigris and was a studious student, one of 24 top-performing students at the Academy. He had a tendency to fixate on a single problem, convinced that if he could just fix it, then he could fix everything about his life. [24] Rodgers considered Carousel his favorite of all his musicals and wrote, "it affects me deeply every time I see it performed". [52] In 1999, Time magazine, in its "Best of the Century" list, named Carousel the Best Musical of the 20th century, writing that Rodgers and Hammerstein "set the standards for the 20th century musical, and this show features their most beautiful score and the most skillful and affecting example of their musical storytelling". [119] Hammerstein's grandson, Oscar Andrew Hammerstein, in his book about his family, suggested that the wartime situation made Carousel's ending especially poignant to its original viewers, "Every American grieved the loss of a brother, son, father, or friend... the audience empathized with [Billy's] all-too-human efforts to offer advice, to seek forgiveness, to complete an unfinished life, and to bid a proper good-bye from beyond the grave." [120] Author and composer Ethan Mordden agreed with that perspective: Billington, Michael. " Carousel – review", The Guardian, August 21, 2012. Retrieved on July 29, 2016

I began to see an attractive ensemble—sailors, whalers, girls who worked in the mills up the river, clambakes on near-by islands, an amusement park on the seaboard, things people could do in crowds, people who were strong and alive and lusty, people who had always been depicted on the stage as thin-lipped puritans—a libel I was anxious to refute... as for the two leading characters, Julie with her courage and inner strength and outward simplicity seemed more indigenous to Maine than to Budapest. Liliom is, of course, an international character, indigenous to nowhere. [18] SpongeBob SquarePants Leads 2018 Drama Desk Awards", Playbill, June 3, 2018.

He is rude to everybody (who call him Miserable old Uppity) until one day he meets a goblin. When he is rude to the goblin, the goblin shrinks Mr. Uppity so he can fit into a hole in a tree, and they enter the tree to meet the King of the Goblins. The goblin agrees to shrink Mr. Uppity if he is rude to somebody. This happens until Mr. Uppity is nice. In the end, he's still rich, but now he's very popular. He most frequently uses the words, "Please" and "Thank you." At the end of the book, Hargreaves tells the readers: "Thank you for reading this story, and if you're ever thinking about being rude to somebody, please keep a sharp lookout for goblins."

Snow was initially pleased at his good fortune at finding an apparent ally in Dr. Gaul. However, things took a turn after she set a class project to put together a formal proposal regarding the idea of a sponsorship program for the Hunger Games. Although it was supposed to be a group project, Snow himself ended up doing almost all of the work, as most of the other mentors were too shaken up by an incident in which the mentor Arachne Crane was killed by her tribute, Brandy. He then ended up paired up with Clemensia Dovecote in presenting the project to Gaul, but Gaul correctly sussed out that Dovecote had not touched the proposal, setting snake muttations upon her. [35] Afterwards, Snow expressed his horror of what had happened to Tigris, who urged him to avoid Gaul, but doing so was easier said than done. [25]Calta, Louis. "'Carousel' to end run on Saturday".

The play opened for tryouts in New Haven, Connecticut on March 22, 1945. The first act was well-received; the second act was not. [45] Casto recalled that the second act finished about 1:30a.m. [27] The staff immediately sat down for a two-hour conference. Five scenes, half the ballet, and two songs were cut from the show as the result. John Fearnley commented, "Now I see why these people have hits. I never witnessed anything so brisk and brave in my life." [45] De Mille said of this conference, "not three minutes had been wasted pleading for something cherished. Nor was there any idle joking.... We cut and cut and cut and then we went to bed." [46] By the time the company left New Haven, de Mille's ballet was down to forty minutes. [44]

In 2009, Jens and Arndt combine their knowledge of snow sports and material science to work on their textile recipe for success: a sliding mat on which the ski glides faster than on fresh snow and which works even where snow cannons fail. Together with the TU Chemnitz and funding from the Federal Ministry of Economics, they are starting a 3-year research project. Two Heavenly Friends come to greet Billy. They tell him that, though he is dead, it’s not over as long as there’s one person on earth who remembers him. They’ve come to take Billy up to the judge, not the Lord God Himself. In a fit of rage, Billy refuses to accept that Jigger was right; that there’s no supreme court for people like him (“The Highest Judge Of All”).
