Summary from the event webpage: 

In a storm of teenage angst and supernatural power, Carrie White, a misunderstood outcast, yearns for acceptance in a world that shuns her. Tormented by the popular clique at school and suffocated by her mother’s oppressive love at home, Carrie remains a ghost to those around her, her true potential hidden beneath layers of pain. 

But as the pressure builds and Carrie’s anguish reaches its peak, she uncovers a secret within herself—a power beyond comprehension. With newfound strength simmering beneath her fragile facade, Carrie teeters on the edge of a transformation, a force to be reckoned with if provoked. 

As the world pushes her to her breaking point, Carrie embraces her extraordinary abilities, unleashing a torrent of chaos and retribution. In a riveting tale of empowerment and revenge, Carrie emerges as a force of nature, a beacon of both terror and liberation. Brace yourself for a thrilling ride as Carrie harnesses her special power and commands the stage with electrifying intensity! 

CARRIE: THE MUSICAL is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
