Carrie: The Musical follows teenage outsider Carrie White, who is tormented by her classmates and oppressed by her mother. As she grapples with her changing body, she discovers a dark power within herself: she can move things with her mind. When prom night culminates in her ultimate humiliation, Carrie finally seeks vengeance on those who have wronged her.

The story of “Carrie” may be familiar, but nothing can prepare you for the way this production brings it to life — bloody, brutal, and unforgettable.
Amanda Hugas, The Daily Princetonian
Davis […] brings an attractive mezzo-soprano and a way of acting her songs that is sweetly earnest and plaintive, while mixing a hint of the character’s inner resentment at her treatment at the hands of those around her.
