THE 5 & DIME presents

CARRIE

The Musical

music by Michael Gore
lyrics by Dean Pitchford
book by Lawrence D. Cohen
based on the novel by Stephen King

directed by Caryl Butterley
music direction by Erin Barnes
choreographed by Terry Star

A story that refuses to die.

CARRIE is a rock-driven musical that cranks the horror of teen angst to eleven, with a mother and daughter locked in a bond that is as tender as it is terrifying. This iconic story, first brought to life as a novel by Stephen King more than 50 years ago (!!!), remains messy, unflinching, and chillingly relevant.

“Carrie is edge-of-your-seat all-out entertainment.” – The Monitor
