In 1945 Carousel opened on Broadway, with John Raitt originating the role of Billy Bigelow — a role for which he would receive a Theatre World Award. John Raitt may be best known for his Broadway musical roles, including Carousel and Oklahoma!, or he may actually be best known as Bonnie Raitt’s father.
Raitt appeared at the Historic Elitch Theatre three times: 1976’s Shenandoah, 1977’s I Do! I Do!, and 1979’s Man of La Mancha.
