A story that still hits hard
Based on the novel by Stephen King, Carrie: The Musical tells the story of a teenager searching for where she belongs — at school, at home, and within herself.
Carrie White is mocked and misunderstood by her classmates and controlled by her fiercely religious mother. As the pressure around her grows, she begins to discover extraordinary telekinetic abilities — powers that mirror the emotion and pain she has been forced to keep hidden.
When a surprising invitation to prom gives Carrie a glimpse of hope, it feels like life might finally change. But one cruel act changes everything.
With a contemporary score and themes of bullying, isolation, empathy, and the need to be seen, Carrie is provocative, haunting, and unforgettable.
