ABOUT RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN
After long and highly distinguished careers with other collaborators, Richard Rodgers (Composer, 1902-1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (Librettist/Lyricist, 1895-1960) joined forces in 1943 to create the most successful partnership in American musical theater. Prior to joining forces, Rodgers collaborated with lyricist Lorenz Hart on musical comedies that epitomized wit and sophistication (Pal Joey, On Your Toes, Babes In Arms and more), while Hammerstein brought new life to operetta and created the classic Show Boat with Jerome Kern. Oklahoma!, the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, introduced an integrated form that became known as “the musical play.” Their shows that followed included Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music. Collectively, the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals have earned Tony, Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer, and Olivier Awards. The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization is a Concord Company, www.concord.com.
ABOUT RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN'S CAROUSEL
Set in a small New England factory town, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s timeless musical Carousel describes the tragic romance between a troubled carnival barker and the young woman who gives up everything for him. Elevated to an epic scale with a sweeping musical score that features some of the most beloved numbers in the American songbook, and incandescent ballet sequences, this story of passion, loss, and redemption introduced Broadway to a new manner of musical drama and would captivate theatergoers for generations to come.

The contrast of Jessie’s voice in waitress to carousel is astounding. What incredible range. Stunning. She has such a glorious soprano vibrato. 😍 and Joshua’s voice… smooth, buttery, rich quality. Geezus. What incredible instruments they have.
I thought so too! It’s crazy to me that it’s the same voice!
@@mattkugler8068 she has even MORE of my respect for that level of range. I'm blown away.
This is my first exposure to Jessie. I immediately thought of Barbara Cook.
@@suhseal Agreed! Pretty incredible!
@@aarondyer.pianist I can totally see that!
Oh that girl’s voice is pure liquid gold! What a wonderful vocal couple those two make... heavenly!
Broadway star Jessie Mueller!
I agree!
Many, many years ago, I was a member of the chorus for this show! T’was wonderful!
Yeah Jessie Mueller also originated the role of Jenna in Waitress and Carole King in Beautiful. She does the legit Rogers and Hammerstein equally well as the pop sound
i've yet to see a comment about Jessie Mueller and Joshua Henry's vocal dexterity-here it's very classical-esque, very operatic, focused on the techniques and very grand. and yet both of them can also belt like there's no other, perform crazy vocal riffs, do jazzy scatting and stuff like that, it's so great! i love them
Alexis :D they’re so versatile!
Agreed!
I agree!
This is one of my favorites along with Almost Like Being In Love with Kelly O'Hara and Patrick Wilson; both just make my heart and soul soar. Thank God they did a studio recording for posterity.
You ain't de only one of us who feels that way my friend - WOW! I love them so much every time I listen to them sing this it brings me to the point of tears. They are perfect together.
R&H created magic with this American classic, If I Loved You. Thank you orchestra, actors, and conductor for this memorable experience!
I need people to agree with me that he would be a perfect Phantom. His voice is so beautiful and more than capable of doing the role more than justice.
Joshua Henry played this role unlike any other. He deserved every bit of praise he received for it.
And, he ain't very ugly!
@@erik1836 Will you shut it about his looks
@@erik1836 he’s not ugly at all bruh he’s handsome
@@krabs707 I assumed they were being sarcastic, seeing as he isn't at all ugly and therefore I assumed that was their point, his gorgeous looks on top of his magnificent voice.
@@DrJones20 Don't be jealous.
I can never get tired of listening to Joshua Henry here! 🤗🤗🎵🎵🌹🌹🌹
I literally cannot get over Joshua Henry. This is my first experience with him. I had heard Jessie as Jenna (waitress is one of my favorites) but hearing Joshua’s voice I’m floored! His voice is so grand I feel like I’m being serenaded by a prince calling up to me while I’m in a tall tower waiting for his saving. And I’m not even gay
"literally"
Broooo. His voice is sillllk
You called it 😂He just played Rapunzel’s Prince
@@hijodelaisla275 ?
Lol since you posted this he’s been in Waitress and played a Prince in ITW
1- I just love the way their voices just blend and dance around each other
2- This man... has one of the most beautiful male voices I have ever heard. The control. The power. Smooth like churned butter.
3- I say this from a standpoint of where I typically only prefer the official studio, (specifically) original cast, movie version from the 1950s... I dont usually like to hear anyone else's voices on my iconic roles. None of this talk-singy overacting stage play vocals... This on the other hand... was just beautiful.
I NEED Joshua to be cast as the Phantom. Like now
Yesssss!!
I am thinking the same thing! He would be incredible
Omgggg
Have to admit, that would almost make that musical watchable. Not quite, but almost.
@@tejaswoman Aww, you cute little rube!😂
One of the greatest love songs ever written for a musical.
I can’t help but crying at how beautiful these characters are written, especially Billy wanting to be masculine but yet so fragile. And Julie who is also a poor soul and trusts him. The poetic image of the flowers falling down because, as Julie says, it’s just their time to do it, cracks me up every time, especially trough Jessie’s crystalline voice.
Omg their voices are like silk
JOSHUAH HENRY!!! WHAT A VOICE!!! WHAT A VOICE!!! i kept listening to this again and again, absolutely amazing! Jessie Mueller, flawless sweet voice! ❤❤❤
Joshua really deserved the Tony for this incredible performance. His performance on stage, as here, was miraculous to witness.
Rogers and Hammerstein were absolute masters of their genre and this is their masterpiece.
I agree!
They wrote a few masterpieces. This was Rodgers' favorite which I don't understand given that they wrote The King and I.
@@richardmayora1289 The story line of Carousel is somewhat strange and certainly dated but it is the music and the use of songs to push the story forward like Opera (Soliloquy for example) that is most impressive. The other musicals - the King and I included - are grander and more popular for it but Carousel is the pinnacle of their collaboration.
They wrote many wonderful songs, but I can't think of any lovelier than "If I loved you".
@@denisej4813 Agreed.
Joshua Henry exists in this world and they cast Russell Crowe in Les Miz 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Dayzie 732 I think the same thing when I listen to Norm Lewis!
___________ exists and they cast Russel Crowe. I mean, you could almost blindfold someone, spin them around, and cast the first person they pointed to and it would have been better.
😀!
yeah but les mis is a pile of garbage anyway
Joshua has more personality and charisma than Russell Crowe ever had on his best day.
I love hearing Jessie do more legit stuff! She's got a killer belt but she sounds like a Disney princess
Joshua Henry is just magnificent beautifully sung and most importantly acted
And, he's not very ugly.
@@erik1836 ??
@@erik1836 Maybe you should stop trying to be clever w that confusing phrase. It isn't working.
With no musical knowledge or education, I only know what I enjoy listening to and Jessie Mueller and Joshua Henry both sing with so much sweet expression, it is pure joy.
amazing how jessie is still acting out to the song as it being sung. like when he tells her to look up and she does it. just shows how amazing of an actress she is
It's an obvious and intuitive thing to do when you're voice acting
Reminds me of John Rait!
@@DrJones20 "kind of"
@@hijodelaisla275 What are you trying to say to me?
@@DrJones20 I'm not trying.
The orchestra is stupendous, such talented and skilled museums. Joshua Henry's voice is magnificent. He is a superstar! Would love to see Joshua Henry star as Billy in a remake film of "Carousel." He'd win an Academy Award for certain. This is so incredibly moving, Pure perfection by singers Joshua Henry and Jessie Mueller, and by the orchestra and conductor. What extraordinary talent!!!! Jessie Mueller is awesome!
There was actually going to be a film remake with Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway but that project has now been apparently shelved.
Separately, Joshua Henry and Jessie Mueller are magic. Together they are perfection. I LOVE Gordon MacRae. He was probably the first performer I had a crush on as a young girl (I was a musical geek from an early age). When Joshua Henry started singing I gasped. He captures the essence of Gordon so well. And Jessie; she is such a musical chameleon. Her voice is just too perfect in this.
If someone hasn't yet, they should do this duet before Shirley Jones who is like 90 years old. I am sure she would agree these two are magnificient vocally and are deserving of every award imaginable. I stumbled upon this video, but glad I did...such great talent that should be known world-wide, if not already for how beautifully blended their voices are.
One of Rogers and Hammerstein's best numbers period. The lushness of the melody, the lyrics and the dialog are like a woven tapestry filled with tension, playfulness and longing that leaves you wanting more......and this perfomance is absolutely spectacular.....
He has been cast as Gaston in the Beauty and the Beast 30th anniversary special on ABC. Vocally he can nail it.
oh man, that's gonna be fun. I'm going to have to keep an eye out.
Jessie's voice is pure and so lyrical. Perfect diction and articulation! Lovely, and absolutely perfect for this role.
I just stumbled upon this performance, not knowing anything about either of them. Now I know one thing for sure...they are absolutely great.
How is it possible for something to be so perfect
Joshua Henry is fantastic! His voice is like liquid gold. Such a rich quality and powerful range. His version of “If I loved you” is my favorite!
This is magical. I’m speechless. When talent can move you to tears.
I love Joshua Henry so so so so so much. Words can’t describe how soothing I find his voice.
And he's such a nice and cool human being. I got the opportunity to work with him right before he did this. He and I would be in the wings talking about this him doing this Musical and the some inside info to it. He just had a baby before he left to do this Musical.
The show I worked on with him was the first national tour of the musical HAMILTON! He played Burr!
Same here - amazingly powerful - and uplifting.
She's got a beautiful voice, but OMG, his is freaking velvet!!!! Dang!!!!
This is my favorite musical, very dark, very lovely. I’ve done 3 productions of it, once as Billy. This is by far the most beautiful recording of this song I’ve ever heard. It remains as one of the greatest acting and singing duets in the American stage. It’s the the key to the whole show, and it tears my heart out every time.
It's nice to hear this music sung the way it's meant to be sung, by trained singers, it brought tears to my eyes to hear Joshua Henry's take on this song. Beautiful.
the most genius sequence in musical history is If I Loved You: beautiful music and perfect character development
Absolutely! The most genius sequence ever! So complex and beautiful. Wagnerian and epic!
Her voice is from Heaven.
Let’s talk about the orchestra! Direction and timing is perfect. Amazing ❣️
If this doesn’t get you check for a pulse. Absolutely amazing!
This song is so eclectic - it's all over the place in terms of vocal style - they both pulled it off brilliantly. I love Kelli O'Hara in the female role best, but this guy has become my new favourite male part. Wow.
Dear God; are they not absolutely magnificent together?
The emotion in Joshua’s eyes when he sings the main chorus is almost as heavenly as his voice!
I heard this heart touching piece when I was 4yo boy at a concert that my parents took me to - Now at 66yo I always love listening to it. What a wonderful rendition that I have come acrossed on TH-cam.
aaaaggghhh Jessie Mueller and Joshua Henry sound amazing together! Sendin' love from the Philippines ❤😍
Koj Custodio back to ya from the USA! I agree!
This is amazing. And Joshua is gorgeous... And he has a voice on him...Well then, Jessie Meuller does too!~~~
We see EVERYTHING they both do!!! So amazingly outstanding talent!!!Woo!!
Jessie Meuller is so incredibly versatile!!! What a brilliant vocal technician she is!!!
Joshua is simply sublime - his soul shines throughout. What a treat to witness this ♥️
wow two divine singers and actors and a truly magical orchestra. The orchestra brings so much drama to the scene, and JM & JH work with it so seamlessly
Thank you, thank you, thank you! To: Jessie, Joshua, the musicians, orchestra conductor, and engineers. Its the end of a long and wonderful day with me and it is ending a wonderfully pleasing way. Praise God for blessing these folks with their talents and their dedication to the art they've to for our pleasure. Every note sung and every syllable spoken excited me and drew me in. Oh happy day! And thanks for posting.
Joshua Henry and Jessie Mumer are a delight to listen to what talent, a joy to the ear
That moment when you're so used to hearing Jessie sing Carole King or Jenna. This is incredible.
Beautiful song. Fabulous performance. Great paring of voices with these two.
I'm really picky when it comes to male singers, but Joshua Henry is at the top of my list with Howard Keel...I could listen to him for hours & never get tired of him, he has a beautiful rich tone 💕
Thanks for sharing.
The whole sequence is very Wagnerian in it's complexity and use of motifs. I count at least 6 distinct tunes, start to finish. Pure brilliance! And much credit to Rodgers' orchestral arranger, Robert Russell Bennett!
The orchestration matches the beauty of the human voices in its complexity and subtlety. Just gorgeous.
I never been so happy. Such good singing, both of them on those high notes. Then the story of how they fell in love. I started crying and I'm not very emotional. I practice this song alot too.
Can we just talk about the full on acting Jessie is doing though! It's amazing. They're so Amazing!!
Wow! This is the closest I've ever heard to the original. Beautiful
BEST 9 MINUTES AND 18 SECONDS EVER
Joshua have the sexiest manly voice. She sings so beautifully and with so much feeliing.
Absolutely Brilliant…
Amazing vocalist ( both ) but I must say Joshua Henry ‘s voice with such depth makes this absolutely incredible ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jesse has an amazing and emotionally sweet sounding voice.. she's great.. One of the best rendition i have ever heared.
One of the most frustrating things in the world is that I'm listening to this at home, and I had to fight the urge to stand up and applaud when the song ended. Oh, and five minutes after the song ended I'm still crying.
Incredible performance.
What, were there other people around who would have been woken up if you had given in to the impulse? I mean, otherwise, I see no reason why you wouldn't.
@@tejaswoman Yeah, but Mueller and Henry wouldn't hear it.
i went to see them on Broadway. Best day of my life.
It's better than when Gordon mcrea perfo this
@@donaldgordon3991 Not better, just different. Both performers deserve their accolades.
The poetry of Hammerstein's lyrics for this song makes me smile every time I hear it.
Oscar was a minor poet.
He is was a post and a romantic idealist.My favorite lyricist.💙
Joshua Henry is very talented& handsome! I could listen& watch him all day long!
Nicely done. I still find Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones to be the gold standard.
Oh these two!!!!❤❤❤
I've heard this song sung so many times by many different people, and it's never done a thing for me... until now.
In the 1970s, a singer from U.K. VINCE HILL, had an LP of RODGERS and HAMMERSTEIN songs.
His version of The Soliloquy, is excellent. ...this is not meant as a comparison, with Joshua, but just for your info. There is also a You Tube “Live Version onT.V. Of Vince singing this song.
Jessie Mueller's voice is so beautifully peaceful, she doesn't have to try hard or depend on her vibrato like some people do, she just sings clear and straightforward and sweet and beautiful. I wish we had more of her in this world💜 Both of them, so genuine and full and somehow musical and real at the same time. People like this remind me why I love this art form💜💜
Bravo bravo to the singers and players. Of course, the real stars are Rodgers and Hammerstein. The latter created this scene where these two little specks of people are falling in love but are still in denial and still trying to resist love’s irresistible force, and he put it into brilliant but natural words and ideas, while Rodgers scored it with the easiness of popular music appropriate to the characters but the majesty and emotional power of opera. I’ve heard this all my life, rarely this well done, but never tire of it. It is universal and eternal.
Incredible voices, acting through song…just WOW. Heartrending performances. the Best💕❣️🎆❣️
I saw them on stage a couple years ago. it was with discount tickets, orchestra I believe. I was thrilled at the levels added to Henry's character being black, especially with lines like "ain't ya scared of me?" also, the DANCING! and the carousel itself ;v;
Glorious singing and acting. Just beautiful.
Beautiful - I just listened to Gordon MacRae & Shirley Jones version which I have always loved - I now have a 'new version' to love 💕
i don't even like this musical but i watch this religiously at least 2 times a day smh
They were both great 🎉
Joshua Henry is amazing!!!!!!!!
He is also a wonderful father; I saw an interview with him when his son was only a month old and the love emanating from him was practically palpable.
She's got the finest voice
Wow - these two have such incredible voices... simply beautiful. It's a great orchestra as well.
Bravo! Bravissimo!! What a fantastic pairing and such a wonderful recording! I'm glad that I had the opportunity to watch it - and the headphones to REALLY enjoy it.
I was fortunate enough to see this revival of Carousel on Broadway in 2018. The orchestra, Justin Peck’s choreography, the genius of Rodgers and Hammerstein, the brilliance of Joshua Henry, Jessie Mueller and the entire cast and production was overwhelming.
Both gorgeous voices! I LOVE the live studio performance💕
Wow ...omg someone please stop chopping onions when Joshua Henry sings.
I have only seen Joshua Henry I. tick Tick Boom prior to stumbling upon this clip. But even in that I thought he was incredibly talented and charismatic in his very small but stand out part.
Joshua and jessie perfect blended matched duet.. awsome!
In my whole life I'v never heard " The Bench scene " sung so perfect with laberto ,song Thank you ..I can see the smiles on there faces
I love this version ❤ Their voices are so beautiful. The control from both of them is stunning.
Fabulous.
Each generation brings their own perfection.this is Joshua Henry's and his female counterparts
Oh my gosh... Joshua Henry's voice...😍
Beautiful
“Carousel the Next Generation”. Absolutely phenomenal voices!
Saw this twice on Broadway--Jessie in both, Joshua Henry in one and his understudy in another. As good as they sound here you can't really appreciate how amazing great voices sound unless you hear them in person.
I saw them once, and it was litteraly the most magical thing i ever witnessed!!!!!
their voices have the words and emotions directed at each other, singing to each other seemingly, not at each other as mediocre performers do. they are just wonderful to listen to and imagine - at some points, long ago, sometimes, in our lives.
Who's crying? _I'm_ not crying. _You're_ crying!
beautiful version of one of my favorite show tunes.
Mr. Henry! Great Job! I worked with him right before I left to do this. Together we worked on the first national tour of the musical HAMILTON! HE PLAYED BURR!
YOU GO JOSH! 🙂
Full body chills ♥️ Yet one more instance of me weeping at the theatre
their voices are like magic
