About Carrie: The Musical
What happens when someone is pushed too far?
Carrie White has always been an outsider. At school, she is relentlessly bullied. At home, she lives under the control of her deeply religious mother. But Carrie is hiding something extraordinary: a mysterious power she is only beginning to understand.
When an unexpected invitation to prom gives Carrie the chance to finally feel accepted, she begins to imagine a different life. What follows is a haunting collision of hope, humiliation, power, and revenge.
Featuring a thrilling contemporary score and an intensely emotional story, Carrie: The Musical transforms Stephen King's iconic novel into a theatrical experience that is intimate, explosive, and unforgettable.
Music by Michael Gore ·
Lyrics by Dean Pitchford ·
Book by Lawrence D. Cohen
Based on the novel by Stephen King
