I'm so excited I resorted to musical theater to express myself.
The original production of Carousel was directed by Rouben Mamoulian and opened at Broadway's Majestic Theatre on April 19, 1945, running for 890 performances and closing on May 24, 1947. The cast included John Raitt, Jan Clayton, Jean Darling, Christine Johnson and Bambi Linn.
It's June! June! June! I always get this song stuck in my head when summer starts creeping up. That uncontainable excitement that overcomes us when spring is almost a memory and the longest day of the year is just around the corner is oddly, perfectly captured by this delightfully weird (suprisingly dark!) and musically wonderful Rodgers and Hammerstein show, Carousel.
There's a lot to get excited about this time of year (sunshine, Farmer's Market bounties, hot dog carts, beer drinking on patios...) but we're particularly thrilled about catering the upcoming Summer Porch Party at Leopold Bros. Distillery to raise money for The Colorado Symphony. Have you purchased tickets yet? If not, maybe this "spring into summer" menu will get you in the mood...
Join us this Friday, June(!) 19th at 7pm for all these delicious items from The Preservery, cocktails and samples from Leopold Bros., and a live woodwind performance from the Colorado Symphony. What better way to kick off a great summer full of food, music and community?
