‘Carrie The Musical’ opens this month at Brelby in Glendale

Adaptation of Stephen King classic examines ‘deeper themes’

Posted

The Brelby Theatre Company, located at 7154 N. 58th Dr. in Historic Downtown Glendale, is bringing “Carrie The Musical” to the stage this Valentine’s Day.

Based on Stephen King’s bestselling novel, “Carrie the Musical” features a book by Lawrence D. Cohen, lyrics by Dean Pitchford, and music by Michael Gore.

“We’re all familiar with the classic prom scene that has made this story iconic,” director Shelby Maticic stated in a news release. “King’s story digs into some deeper themes that are incredibly relevant today, from the darker side of high school politics, to the dangers of religious fanaticism, to the snowball effect that cruelty can cause. This is not a campy parody of the film. It’s an honest look at what can happen when we succumb to the pressure to fit in and ignore what’s right.”

The show opens 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 14, and continues with 7:30 p.m. showtimes Feb. 15, 21-22, 28-29, and 2 p.m. matinees Feb. 15-16, 22-23 and March 1.

“Carrie the Musical” features direction and choreography by Shelby Maticic, and music direction by Helen Morris. With performances by Ali Giordano as Carrie White, DeAnna McMahan as Margaret White, Ixy Utpadel as Sue Snell, Noah Lanouette as Tommy Ross, Jesse Pike as Chris Hargensen, Nicholas Earl as Billy Nolan, Kiley Bishop as Miss Gardner, Riley Jarol as Frieda, Trystynn Burt as Helen, Ronda Felton as Norma, Gordon Barsotta-Northern as George, Bear Golden as Stokes, and Kyle Wallenberg as Freddy. The role of Mr. Stephens will be played by Kevin Fenderson Feb. 14-16, Feb. 21 and Feb. 23, and by Michael Moramarco Feb. 22 and Feb. 28-March 1.

Tickets $30 and available at brelby.com.
