Carrie features a score by Michael Gore and Dean Pitchford and a book by Lawrence D. Cohen. Adapted from the 1974 horror novel by Stephen King, Carrie tells the story of 17-year-old Carrie White, who is terrorized by her high school classmates and her fanatically religious mother. After becoming the victim of a prom night prank, Carrie uses her newly discovered telekinetic powers to wreak havoc on those who have done her wrong. The musical premiered on Broadway in 1988, playing only five post-opening performances, followed by a 2012 off-Broadway revival at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. The show has gone on to receive numerous regional productions.
