Carousel
Classic musical. After being killed in a botched robbery, a carnival barker is allowed to return to earth to visit his widow and attend his daughter's high school graduation.
Billy Bigelow, a vagabond and good-for-nothing carnival barker, finally settles down with a first-class woman but gets stabbed to death while committing a robbery. Many years later, an angel offers him the chance to return to earth for just one day to make things right for his miserable wife and the daughter he never had the chance to meet.
Classic musical based on the stage play by Rodgers and Hammerstein.
