Actually, as a science fiction/fantasy writer, I can see CAROUSEL in a Martian colony with no problems at all. I mean, even R&H changed the setting of the original LILIOM to 1890s New England. The point is, it's an insular community of some sort where status matters, Billy and Julie don't quite fit, and options for advancement are few. You can do that on Mars.

Ooop--well, there is one problem: unless terraforming has gone a long way, Mr. Snow is gonna have a hard time with that fleet....

Thanks, Laura. But I think there might be one or two other "problems" with setting the show on Mars -- for example, that big song and dance about the weather in June.......
