High school is hard enough without being bullied by the popular kids and tormented by an overprotective mother. Add some fearsome supernatural powers and you have a recipe for bloodshed in Carrie: The Musical, based on Stephen King's bestselling novel. A legendary Broadway flop when first produced in 1988, the show was rebuilt from the ground up and transformed into a hit off-Broadway production filled with song and dance honoring its nerve-shredding source material. The paranormal musical thriller, now at the Area Stage Company in Coral Gables, is designed and directed by Carbonell Award winner John Rodaz and will feature a live orchestra with Richard Kaydas as musical director and conductor.
