Louisiana, 1963. Revolution is in the air, though not so much for Caroline, the poorly paid maid toiling endlessly in the sweltering basement of the Gellman household. It’s a fantastical, magical place amidst the piles of laundry and singing washing machines, especially for eight-year-old Noah Gellman who sneaks downstairs to see her whenever he can. Yet a simple gesture to leave more money in Caroline’s pocket is about to test who and how far the winds of change can ever really reach…
Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Musical, Caroline, Or Change is a playful, funny and deeply moving tale set to a score that hits new heights of emotion, in a production that delights with imagination. Directed by Michael Longhurst (Amadeus, Constellations), this extraordinary and joyously original musical opens at the Playhouse Theatre for a strictly limited season.
