Gallery: HOOLIGAN Theatre Company channels horror, human condition in ‘Carrie: The Musical’

HOOLIGAN Theatre Company welcomed crowds to its very first production of the school year last weekend, bringing horror musical “Carrie: The Musical” to the Freud Playhouse for a total of four showings. The story – based on author Stephen King’s novel of the same name – follows the journey of titular character Carrie as she navigates high school bullying and discovers telekinetic powers, religion and young love. Through its robust cast and crew, 23 musical numbers split between two acts and a live orchestra, “Carrie” tells a tragic coming-of-age story that grapples with trauma and identity in its two-hour runtime.
