From the magical interpretation of the Carousel in theOverture to the majestic and moving strains of the wellknown ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, this popular musicalremains a timeless classic. The poignant story of thefaithful Julie and her brutish husband Billy is one of themost powerful stories in musical theatre and perfectlymatches its memorable score.

O’r dehongliad hudolus o Carousel yn yr Agorawd iseiniau mawreddog a gwefreiddiol y gân adnabyddus,‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, erys y sioe gerdd boblogaiddhon yn glasur bythol. Hanes teimladwy Julie ffyddlon a’i gwr bwystfilaidd Billy yw un o straeon mwyaf pwerus y sioeau cerdd, ac mae’n cydweddu’n berffaith a’i sgôr cofiadwy.

Dorothy Squires was the pint-sized phenomenon whorose from the Llanelli tin works to the heights of the West End and Broadway to become one of Britain’s mostsuccessful performers. Her life was as dramatic as hersongs and was often the focus of media attention; herelectrifying on-stage presence, her sell-out comebackconcerts at the London Palladium and her tempestuousmarriage to Roger Moore, were overshadowed by herpredilection for litigation and battles with RupertMurdoch, resulting in her being made a vexatious litigant.

This rags to riches story follows Dorothy’s journeyending with her sad demise, back where she started, in the South Wales Valleys.

Dorothy Squires – ffenomenon ffrwydrol â’i gwreiddiau yngngwaith tun Llanelli, ac a gododd i binaclau’r West End a Broadway fel un o berfformwyr mwyaf llwyddiannusPrydain. ‘Roedd ei bywyd mor ddramatig â’i chaneuon, ac yn aml yn denu sylw’r cyfryngau. ‘Roedd ei phresenoldebtrydanol ar lwyfan, ei chyngherddau llwyddiannus yn yPalladium yn Llundain, a’i phriodas dymhestlog â RogerMoore, oll yn pylu yng nghysgod ei hobsesiwn o ymgyfreithaa’i brwydro cyson â Rupert Murdoch, a’r canlyniad yn y pendraw oedd iddi ddod yn ‘ymgyfreithiwr blinderus’.

Mae’r stori hon yn dilyn ôl troed Dorothy o garpiau i gyfoeth, gan orffen yn ôl ble y dechreuodd, yngNghymoedd De Cymru.
