Dublin born Ciarán Sheehan is an acclaimed actor, singer,
voice healer whose performances have been said to warm the
heart and touch the soul. There is an amazing quality to his
voice and his ability to capture an audience is nothing short of
remarkable. Ciarán has many professional accomplishments
to his credit, most notably playing the role of The Phantom in
“The Phantom of The Opera” for over 1,000 performances on
Broadway and in Toronto. But perhaps of more importance than
his accomplishments is his sincere desire to use his incredible
talents to inspire others to look within themselves to discover
their own inner beauty.
Ciarán Sheehan has the frame and the charisma of a guy
who can attract every mill girl in Maine – but it’s his voice that
seals the deal: a gorgeous, silky tenor with mesmerizing low
notes. And he acts the heck out of his “Soliloquy.” — Boston Arts
Review
About Carousel
Music by Richard Rodgers, book and lyrics by Oscar
Hammerstein II, based on “Liliom” by Ferenc Molnar, adapted by
Benjamin F. Glazer.
This American classic features some of Rodgers and
Hammerstein’s most iconic pieces, including “If I Loved You”,
“Mister Snow”, “June is Bustin Out All Over” and the iconic “You’ll
Never Walk Alone.” The story tells of roguish carnival barker Billy
Bigelow and mill worker Julie Jordan, both loners, who meet
and fall in love. Their marriage ends up costing both their jobs,
and things go downhill from there. Billy’s desperation makes
him violent against those he loves most, and drives him to
commit crimes in order to provide for his family, resulting in his
death. Billy is allowed to return to earth for one day fifteen years
later, and he encounters the daughter he never knew. Louise
is a lonely, friendless teenager, her father’s reputation having
haunted her throughout her young life. Yet Billy is able to instill
in both the child and her mother a sense of hope. Voted the
best musical of the 20th century by Time Magazine, Rodger’s
and Hammerstein’s Carousel is the classic American musical,
spanning heaven and earth in its exploration of human frailty,
resilience, and the power of forgiveness.
