Show InfoCarrie White is a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she’s dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it.

Roles

RoleM/FAgeDescription
CARRIE WHITEFA 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 WHITEFA woman of visceral 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 from expressive and melodic to ferocious and frightening.
SUE SNELLFA 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 ROSSMPopular 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 HARGENSENFRich, 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 NOLANMNow 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 rocker30
MISS LYNN GARDNERF35-40his 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.
MR. STEPHENSM35-40
REVEREND BLISS
FRIEDAFSue's brainy pal, she's an easy-going, get-along follower and a tireless extracurricular committee volunteer.
NORMAFBitchy, gossipy and a shameless suck-up to authority, Norma is second-in-command to Chris' queen bee.
HELENFGiggly and easily shocked, her immaturity and need to belong make her the perfect example of the herd mentality.
GEORGEMTommy's jock wingman since childhood, George idolizes him. Perhaps a little too much...
STOKESMA bit of a nerd, he's happy to be included as one of Tommy's posse.
FREDDYMThe wise-cracking class clown and official yearbook photographer, he can't believe any girl would ever give him the time of day.
