Bob Merrill produced his best-loved score for this delicate musical based on the 1953 French film Lili about an orphan taken in by a traveling carnival. Michael Stewart was the librettist, and the stars included Anna Maria Alberghetti and Jerry Orbach. The title song, "Theme from Carnival (Love Makes the World Go 'Round)," became a standard. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
