High school has never been worse, especially for the cast of 凯莉 的音乐. High school sweethearts, 运动员, 书呆子, and bad boys alike struggle to survive just long enough to see their senior prom and move on to the next stage of their lives. They are ignorant to the pain they are putting the titular character, 凯莉 白色, through and unaware of the brutal fate they will meet on that fateful prom night.

故事如下 凯莉 白色, a girl undergoing social trauma and exploring her own maturity and latent telekinetic abilities; Sue Snell, whose character arc is a mirror to 凯莉’s as she learns to grow outside of her societal mold and bring a human connection to the story in an effort to combat the horror around her; Tommy Ross, her star-athlete boyfriend who finds himself questioning his future and helping Sue to bring some light into the darkness of 凯莉’s life; Chris Hargensen, resident popular girl with a mean streak, who makes it her mission to make 凯莉’s life miserable, with help from her truant boyfriend Billy Nolan; and Margaret 白色, 凯莉的母亲.

From 皇冠新现金网 Director of Theatre, 杰西·梅尔兹:
“When our students first suggested we do the musical, “嘉莉,” I thought they were crazy! No way did I want to do a horror musical that ends in mayhem after what our community has been through. But they told me it was an anti-bullying story and I was skeptical. Then they asked me to listen to the music — I was hooked! Just wait until you experience the passion and love for art-making and the vibrancy of life in our production of “凯莉.” I dare you to let them scare you with some killer musical theatre!”
