Carousel Theater
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Carousel Theater was a theater located in Framingham, Massachusetts, on the Old Connecticut Path.
The Carousel Theater was opened in 1958. It was an “in-the-round” tent theatre, similar to the Musicarnival in Warrensville Heights, Ohio, and the Oakdale Musical Theater in Wallingford, Connecticut.[1] It had a capacity of approximately 2,500-3,000 people.[1]
The venue held weekly dinner theater musicals for many years. The first ever performance at the Theater was the musical New Girl in Town on June 30, 1958.[1]
The theatre also hosted performances by a number of famous rock bands and musicians in the 1960s and 1970s, including Jimi Hendrix (1968), Led Zeppelin (1969) and Frank Zappa (1969).
The Carousel Theater was closed in the early 1970s. The area where the venue was located is now occupied by "Carousel Office Park", consisting of several office buildings.[1]
