London Theatre Review: Caroline or Change at the Playhouse Theatre
Why have I never heard of this musical spectacular? With Caroline, or Change set in Louisiana in November 1963, we witness an African-American maid named Caroline (Sharon D. Clarke) cook and clean for the Gellmans whilst befriending and comforting the son, Noah Gellman, a recently bereaved boy from a Jewish family. Where she works serves a good metaphor for her social position, as well as her emotional state.

Caroline, or Change: Louisiana in the ’60s
Caroline, or Change has an impressive pedigree, moving from rave reviews in Chichester and Hampstead to the buzzing Thames-side Playhouse Theatre in London. I have to confess, I struggled at first to work out what was going on this musical and where the story was going. I’m not sure what I expected, but faced with a kitchen of singing white goods and an extremely vocal radio, I felt I needed to concentrate hard to make sense of this show.
