During their stay, they will work closely with\u00a0students from the OSM and Drama departments\u00a0to prepare for the production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Carousel<\/em>&nbsp;premiered in 1945 and&nbsp;was the second major collaboration between composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist-librettist Oscar Hammerstein II. The musical&nbsp;has enchanted audiences worldwide with its poignant love story and unforgettable score, including classics such as \u201cYou\u2019ll Never Walk Alone,\u201d \u201cIf I Loved You,\u201d and \u201cJune Is Bustin\u2019 Out All Over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of the story is Billy Bigelow, a charismatic carousel barker whose impulsive love affair with millworker Julie Jordan results in both losing their jobs. In a desperate effort to provide for Julie and their unborn child, Billy turns to crime, leading to tragic consequences. Given a second chance from beyond the grave, he seeks redemption and&nbsp;an opportunity&nbsp;to make things right. A parallel subplot follows Julie\u2019s friend Carrie&nbsp;Pipperidge&nbsp;and her romance with the ambitious fisherman Enoch Snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This production forms part of SMU-in-South-Africa, an international study abroad initiative launched in 2011 by Hill-Moore. The programme\u00a0was first hosted by the Opera School and Choral Academy (OSCA) at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) in Durban, where students performed\u00a0<em>West Side Story<\/em>\u00a0infused with South African dance, drums, and rhythms. In 2013, students returned to UKZN to perform\u00a0<em>South Pacific<\/em>,\u00a0followed by <em>Carousel<\/em>, to critical acclaim and a new presentation of <em>West Side Story<\/em><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recently, the&nbsp;programme&nbsp;continued in 2019 and 2022, 2024 and 2024 at Nelson Mandela University in&nbsp;Gqeberha, where SMU students staged&nbsp;<em>Wading Home<\/em> (an American opera by Mary Alice Rich, commemorating survivors of Hurricane Katrina), <em>South Pacific<\/em>, <em>Oklahoma <\/em>and \u201c<em>Ain\u2019t Misbehavin\u2019!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Brad Klein (SMU) joins the 2025 Bloemfontein company.&nbsp; He will present a module on Human Rights to participating students, continuing the programme\u2019s commitment to academic enrichment alongside performance excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission is free, but bookings must be made on Quicket.
