Rodgers & Hammerstein's Carousel In Concert - Live in Tulsa

Step into the golden age of musical theatre with Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel, performed live in concert at Will Rogers Auditorium, Tulsa. Presented in collaboration with the Tulsa Ballet’s Center for Dance Education, this one-time event on October 19, 2025 blends iconic Broadway melodies with mesmerizing choreography. Whether you're a fan of classic musicals, ballet, or live theatre in Tulsa, this is an unforgettable experience. 

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS

Note: This is a semi-staged full version of the classic Broadway musical, in concert. A concert version means the primary focus is on the musical numbers, with less emphasis on acting and elaborate choreography. The cast will be in costume and will move on and off the stage. The set will be projected. Despite the minimal staging, the performers still act out the emotions of the script. Music will be performed by classically trained soloists and a full professional orchestra and chorus. The ballet integral to the story will be performed live, accompanied by the orchestra. See the message from the executive producer on the Home Page for more details.

Attendees are advised that face masks are not required, unless mandated by civil authority, but are strongly encouraged for the safety of others. Nor will social distancing, proof of COVID vaccine or recent negative COVID test results be required. Attendees hereby acknowledge the dangers from the spread of COVID-19 and other airborne sickness and assume the risks of entering this venue for this performance.

Smoking including vaping, alcohol consumption, weapons, and drugs are prohibited.

The videotaping or making of electronic or other audio and/or visual recordings of this production and distributing recordings or streams in any medium, including the Internet, is strictly prohibited, a violation of the authors' rights and actionable under United States copyright law.

The orchestra will be positioned in front of the stage, level with orchestra seating, between the stage and the front row seats in the Orchestra section. The orchestra pit will be separated from the audience by a 3-foot high curtained stanchion. Seats in the center of the first couple of rows (B and C) may be partially obstructed due to the conductor being stationed in front of those seats.

We add service fees and credit card fees to the ticket price. There is no sales tax as we are exempt. This is a great value for professional musicians performing a Broadway classic from the "Golden Era" by one of America's most beloved musical theatre collaborators, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.

Enjoy this wonderful production in Tulsa's historic Will Rogers auditorium, an Art Deco masterpiece on the National Register of Historic Places. This environment is smoke-free, alcohol-free, drug-free, weapon-free, and offers free parking.
