CARRIE to Play White Plains Performing Arts Center

Based on the novel by Stephen King, Carrie the Musical is an electrifying pop-rock musical about a bullied teenager with telekinetic powers who takes revenge on prom night with music by Academy Award-winning composer Michael Gore ("Fame", "Terms of Endearment"); lyrics by Academy Award-winning lyricist Dean Pitchford ("Fame", "Footloose") and a book by "Carrie" film screenwriter Lawrence D. Cohen.

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.

The cast features the talents of Alex Arlotta, Penny Deen, Mary DelVecchio, Jenna Goldberg, Rose Hornyak, Temia Innamorato, Ties Jansen, Maeve Elyse Kraiger, David C. Littlefield, Elana Mariani, Amanda Montgomery, Casey O'Donnell, Gabrielle Paige, Zack Tashoff, Max Temkin, Rachel Weisbart and Ava Bradlow as Carrie.

The production is directed by Jonathan Johnson, music direction by Paul Loman and choreography by Lexie Fennell Frare with scenic design by Madeleine Maloy, lighting design by Kyle Stormes and costume design by Kiah Vidyarthi.
