DETAILS

ÜBER DAS STÜCK

Carrie White ist eine Außenseiterin. In der Schule wird sie von den Altersgenossen drangsaliert, und alle übrigen Leute übersehen sie einfach. Carrie hat jedoch entdeckt, dass sie ganz besondere Kräfte besitzt. Und wenn man zu weit geht, dann scheut sie sich nicht, sie anzuwenden.

Die Autoren Gore und Pitchford hatten für ihre Zusammenarbeit bei Fame einen Oscar erhalten; Lawrence D. Cohen hatte bereits das Drehbuch der Filmadaption von Stephen Kings Romanbestseller Carrie verfasst.

​HINTERGRUND

Lawrence D. Cohen, Autor des Librettos von CARRIE, schrieb ein Buch mit dem Titel „What Were They Thinking: Carrie, from Book to Movie to Musical“ über seine lange, persönliche Verbindung mit dem Stoff des Romans von Stephen King, den er 1973 als Assistent eines Filmproduzenten kennenlernte.

BESETZUNG

ROLLEN

HAUPTROLLEN

Carrie White – A painfully shy outsider who, in spite of her best efforts to belong, has been the victim of her classmates' cruel jokes since childhood, as well as her mother's strict, biblically-oriented control at home. She transforms from ugly duckling into graceful – and then vengeful – swan. Vocally, she must be capable of lyrical sweetness as well as fierce power.
Margaret White – A woman of cisceral extremes, she balances her fervent religious convictions with equally sincere true-believer spirituality and tender, maternal love for Carrie. Like Carrie, with whom she shares several duets, her voice must range fromexpressive and melodic to ferocious and frightening.
Sue Snell – A straight-A student who's been popular her entire life, she's remarkably level headed for her age. Her unthinking participation in a cruel act of bullying causes a crisis of conscience that leads her on a journey to try to right things. Vocally, she has a pop ballad voice that delivers sweet sincerity and strength.
Tommy Ross – Popular star athlete, valedictorian, and all around stand-out, he's the boy that all the girls want to be with, and all the boys want to be. Yet he also has unexpected, quirky sensitivity and is just starting to mine his personal life and feelings – a budding poet. His voice should have an effortless pop quality.
Chris Hargensen – Rich, spoiled-rotten, and wickedly funny, Chris is a popular beauty whose arrogant self-assurance makes her believe that the rules don't apply to her. Loaded with sexual dynamite, she has serious daddy issues and anger-management issues. Her voice is pop-rock percussive and powerful.
Billy Nolan – Now in his sixth year in high school, Billy's a sexy, stupid-like-a-fox bad boy whose wise mouth troublemaking has led him to spend more time in detention than in class. All these qualities make it easy for his girlfriend Chris to manipulate him to do her bidding. His voice is that of a wailing rocker.
Miss Lynn Gardner – Mid-30s, this girls' P.E. teacher can be a strict disciplinarian if necessary, but when Carrie arouses her maternal instinct, she surprises herself by also revealing a protective "fairy godmother" side. Her voice is warm and strong, just like the woman.

NEBENROLLEN & ENSEMBLE

Mr. Stephens – Late-30s, this well-intentioned English teacher and guidance counselor struggles to help his students realize their potential. A dedicated educator, he's stretched thin in his duties, woefully underpaid, and a bit overwhelmed as to how to handle the Billy Nolans of the classroom combat zone.
Reverend Bliss – can be played by the same actor as Mr. Stephens
Sue's Interrogators – Voices Only: 1f, 1m
Frieda – Sue's brainy pal, she's an easy-going, get-along follower and a tireless extracurricular committee volunteer.
Norma – Bitchy, gossipy and a shameless suck-up to authority, Norma is second-in-command to Chris' queen bee.
Helen – Giggly and easily shocked, her immaturity and need to belong make her the perfect example of the herd mentality.
George – Tommy's jock wingman since childhood, George idolizes him. Perhaps a little too much...
Stokes – A bit of a nerd, he's happy to be included as one of Tommy's posse.
Freddy – The wise-cracking class clown and official yearbook photographer, he can't believe any girl would ever give him the time of day.
+ other Kids (for casts larger than 14)

The Broadway production featured a cast of 27 performers. The off-Broadway production was re-scaled for a cast of 14, which is the minimum cast size requred to perform CARRIE: THE MUSICAL. ​
