We really enjoyed Mr Gunn and thought he was the best Billy we've ever seen. We have seen quite a few.

....I re-watched all of the NY Phil CAROUSEL last night, and it confirmed my feeling that this was not only one of the best concert presentations of a musical I've ever seen, but one of the best productions of a musical -- period. I thought the entire cast is great, certainly including Nathan Gunn. Just superb.

Me too. This production of Carousel is still my favorite and I have seen many that I have loved including the last Broadway revival. Phenomenal cast! Beautifully staged for a concert version. I was mesmerized.

After the show I inquired about a new cast album of this New York Philharmonic production. Sadly, there was nothing planned. I was most surprised when this production later aired on WETA and later released on DVD.

Three years ago I saw Nathan Gunn perform with Georgetown Concert Series at St. John's Episcopal Church, Washington, DC. Excellent!
