Carrie White is a misfit. Carrie is at the mercy of her over-protective, hyper-religious mother at home. At school, she’s an outcast, bullied by the popular crowd and virtually invisible to everyone else. But there’s something very different about Carrie – she has extraordinary power, but it is a power that can be very destructive. So if she’s pushed too far, she may well use it.
The story is adapted from the bestselling novel by Stephen King and the acclaimed movie which stars Sissy Spacek. This production of Carrie has been reinvented for our time and is sure to shake the Bridewell Theatre to its very core.
“Directing this infamous musical is a dream come true,” director Chris Adams told QX. “Carrie is a high school musical with a supernatural twist and a story with some extraordinary characters and memorable scenes. The show ran on Broadway, off-Broadway and worldwide, and we’re thrilled to bring it to the Bridewell for the first time. We have some creative ideas to bring Carrie’s unique abilities to life, and we’re bracing ourselves for an extremely bloody finale….”
