Carrie the Musical – Squabbalogic
You've read the book. You've seen the movie. Now hear the songs.
Overview
Carrie. You've read the book. You've watched the film. But you haven't seen the Broadway musical. Or at least Australia hasn't; Broadway's most infamous production Carrie the Musical is making its Australian premiere this November. Carrie the Musical will mark the final production in the 2013 Reginald Season of independent works.
And what a show to go out on. The tale of outcast Carrie White, the musical is a freshly reimagined work, following the iconic original story but set against a stellar soundtrack. Its been reworked since its Broadway flop, though the musical's chequered history makes for an interesting lure itself. Produced by Squabbalogic and directed by the company's artistic director Jay James-Moody with music overseen by Mark Chamberlain, this Carrie the Musical boasts a standout cast aiming to do the kitschy revenge horror justice.
With the Carrie film remake starring Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore to hit cinemas in November, this musical spin could not come at a better time.
