Rodgers & Hammerstein's 'Carousel'

Saturday we headed to The Gelston House for dinner before going to see 'Carousel' at The Goodspeed Opera House.


We ate inside due to the tornado watch for our area. The food was good but nothing exceptional--the location next to the Goodspeed Opera House makes this restaurant very popular. I'm glad we tried it but I don't feel the need to eat there again.

The show was wonderful! As written up in The Wall Street Journal, James Snyder, the actor who played the male lead, was excellent--great voice, great stage presence and very handsome. The female lead was weaker (the original actress left after one week for a better opportunity!) but we really enjoyed watching Jenn Gambatese, who starred in the secondary role of Carrie Pipperidge. As far as I'm concerned, she stole the show! 

All in all, it was a great birthday present. And some heavy rains came through but nothing worse. We were home before midnight!
