ABOUT
Carrie: The Musical is based on Stephen King’s 1974 novel Carrie and follows the story of Carrie White, a shy, socially awkward teenage girl who is relentlessly bullied at school and sheltered by her fanatically religious mother. When Carrie experiences her first period in the school shower, her classmates mock her, and her mother interprets the event as a sinful punishment. Things begin to look up when a popular student, Sue Snell, feels guilty for tormenting Carrie and convinces her boyfriend, Tommy Ross, to take Carrie to prom as a gesture of kindness.
At prom, Carrie experiences a brief taste of acceptance and happiness, but it all comes crashing down when a cruel prank involving a bucket of pig’s blood is played on her in front of everyone. Humiliated and enraged, Carrie unleashes her newly discovered telekinetic powers in a fit of vengeance, resulting in a fiery, tragic climax that devastates the town. The musical explores themes of bullying, repression, and the destructive power of fear and cruelty, blending horror and heartache with a hauntingly emotional score.
