CARRIE: THE MUSICAL
Carrie 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.

THEATRE NOW
“Opening night of Carrie: The Musical at the Depot Theatre is swelling and as we take our seats it becomes immediately very obvious that this is a sold-out show, and well deserved.”
“The musical is beautifully cast and the consistency in dialect and characterisation is superb.”
“It is often hard to capture a sense of authenticity in a musical that demands such heightened intensity and choreographed emotion, however, the relationships are well-considered and give a strong sense of depth.
NIGHT WRITES
“Tonazzi and his production team have gathered a cast of strong musical talent that are a joy to watch.”
“Elliott is powerful and engaging in every scene she enters.”
“In slower, more reflective moments, Elliott maintains strength and is difficult to look away from…Elliott makes her worth watching.”
