Pray for your Salvation. . .Carrie is back like you've never seen her before. Twenty-seven years after first wreaking havoc, the world's most talked about Broadway musical is coming to London. Academy Award winning Dean Pitchford and Michael Gore (Fame), and original screenplay writer Lawrence D. Cohen, have transformed Stephen King's unlikely Cinderella story into an infectiously modern musical that has gripped audiences from Australia to America with its timeless story and thrilling score. A taunted and terrified seventeen-year-old misfit, Carrie White has a burning secret. . .a secret that will eventually ignite her revenge. Make your date for the Senior Prom to see who will be crowned Queen, and who will have blood on their hands. After one night with Carrie you will always remember her name.
