My choice for the greatest scene in musical theater history.

Ten minutes of character development and courtship in a perfect marriage of dialogue and song, built on the creative use of the conditional -- what would it be like IF I loved you.

This scene if filled with poetry and pure magic.

Perhaps the greatest scene in American musicals. This is American music at its best. Rodgers was the American Puccini.

as to John Raitt being a beautiful sounding plank of wood, having worked with him and seen him many times live, he is simply present in his work which actor/singer appreciate and admire. No scenery chewing is necessary when you naturally drag your balls across the stage and have the voice and the looks of an angel

@brozzerb This is great; but Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae is the greatest ever. Jackman does not have the voice or even acting range to equal MacRae-Raitt voicewise is also great.

This is so wonderful... its so real, not mushy and becomes romantic realistically.. Fabulous from both.. I am particularly impressed with Ms. Clayton.

John Raitt: the most beautiful sounding plank of wood you'll ever see. There's actually NOTHING going on in his eyes or in his singing. It sounds beautiful, sure, but there's no meaning behind it. I absolutely love Carousel and I think that this scene is probably the best ever written in musical theatre history.

Watching Jan Clayton and John Raitt. who originated these roles 9 years prior to this performance, is a marvel. I was familar with Mr. raitt, having seen him perform on the road years ago. He simply is peerless in his delivery of this song. Jan Clayton is a marvel. Watch the nuances in her vocal delivery and her pure acting skils when Mr. Raitt is talking. A lesson to learn for all of us.

They kiss. The end is actually shown on another you tube hit.

[brozzerb]

It's so beautiful, this scene... just to watch the emotions on Jan Clayton's face. She can act and sing so beautifully! John Raitt can sing, but can't act at all. He's no equal to her. Hugh Jackman will be incredible in the new movie version, if it ever get off the ground.

does anyone know how the scene ended!?!? Do they kiss, hold hands, does it rain...?? different version do it differently. how was it originally??

[arpeggio1358]

@RayPointer How very embarrassing. Apparently, Clayton understood what he meant and didn't take offense. I have a couple of star struck friends, so I know how you must have felt. I've been there.
