WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Carrie White is a misfit. At school, she's an outcast who's bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she's at the mercy of her loving but cruelly over-protective mother. But Carrie's just discovered she's got a special power, and if pushed too far, she's not afraid to use it…
Based on Stephen King's bestselling novel, the musical Carrie hasn't been seen since its legendary 1988 Broadway production. Now, the show's original authors have joined with director Stafford Arima (Altar Boyz) and MCC Theater for a newly reworked and fully re-imagined vision of this gripping tale. Set today, in the small town of Chamberlain, Maine, Carrie features a book by Lawrence D. Cohen (screenwriter of the classic film), music by Academy Award winning composer Michael Gore (Fame, Terms of Endearment), and lyrics by Academy Award winning lyricist Dean Pitchford (Fame, Footloose). The cast will be led by Tony Award nominee Marin Mazzie (Next to Normal, Kiss Me Kate) as Carrie's evangelical mother, Margaret White, and Molly Ranson (Jerusalem, August: Osage County) as the lonely, vengeful, yet fragile girl at the center of it all.

After earning an unparalleled level of infamy when it premiered on Broadway in 1988, the musical Carrie has returned to the stage in a revised version at the Lucille Lortel Theatre Off-Broadway, courtesy of MCC Theater. And while the show remains far from perfect, this new incarnation makes a case for it being a viable stage commodity. That's a feat that's almost as impressive as the telekinetic powers possessed by the title character.
As with the Stephen King horror novel on which it's based (and the classic movie it inspired), the musical charts the cruelty-filled world that teenager Carrie White (Molly Ranson) must endure in her tiny hometown in Maine. At school, she's taunted by her[...]
