THE Bradford Catholic Players need men to climb aboard the merry-go-round of their latest show.

The historic society is staging popular musical Carousel this autumn and needs more men.

The popular show is about mill girl, Julie Jordan, who falls for and marries “handsome but uncivilised” carousel barker, Billy Bigelow. Things turn sour for the couple when Billy can’t find a job after the carousel has left town and he and Julie are forced to live with her cousin, Nettie. Julie continues to love her husband, even when he takes to using violence.

When Billy discovers that Julie is pregnant, disaster strikes. In a desperate ploy for money, he is persuaded by his friend, Jigger Craigin, to help him assault and rob a mill owner. But when the plan fails, there seems to be only one way out for Billy.

Fifteen years later, he’s allowed one last visit to Earth.

Will Julie sense his love, and will Billy see his daughter happy and graduating from high school?

Get yourself along to the Alhambra this autumn to find out, when Carousel will run from November 19 to 22.
