Kalliope Stage is the new professional musical theater
at Cedar and Lee in Cleveland Heights.
This Rodgers and Hammerstein classic is one of the
most heartfelt stories ever told, and TIME magazine's
choice for "musical of the century." In the hands of
Artistic Director Paul F. Gurgol, the rough romance
between charismatic Billy Bigelow and tender hearted
Julie Jordan becomes a spiritual journey through life's
most challenging choices. Some of the most beautiful
music ever written is sung by a thrilling cast in the
intimate environment that is Kalliope Stage.
Artistic Director Paul F. Gurgol has assembled an ideal
cast to bring his dream show CAROUSEL home to
Cleveland. Artistic Director Paul Gurgol says, "It
will be a rare opportunity to see artists of this caliber
up close in our intimate 99-seat theater performing one
of the greatest musicals of all time."
Aaron Ramey stars as Billy Bigelow. Mr. Ramey
debuted on Broadway in the original cast of
THOUROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE. He starred as Chris in
Papermill's MISS SAIGON, and appeared nationally as
the Beast in Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. He
comes to Kalliope from Baltimore Center Stage where
he earned accolades as Anthony in SWEENEY TODD.
Mr. Ramey is a proud member of Actor's Equity
Association.
William Clarence Marshall will be playing the
role of Enoch Snow. Mr. Marshall has performed
internationally as an actor, singer, and recording artist,

Prince's SHOWBOAT, and has been widely acclaimed as
