Bookwriter Lawrence D. Cohen (who penned the original screenplay), composer Michael Gore and lyricist Dean Pitchford have been re-working the musical based on the Stephen King horror novel over the past several seasons in preparation for a January 2012 Off-Broadway run at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.

"Revisiting Carrie" will feature Cohen, Gore and Pitchford discussing their latest work on the musical. Also in attendance for the 7 PM event will be director Stafford Arima, who shepherded recent workshops of Carrie and will stage the Off-Broadway production.

Carrie performances begin at the Lortel Theatre Jan. 31, 2012. The production team will include music director/arranger Mary-Mitchell Campbell (Broadway's Company), choreographer Matt Williams, orchestrator Doug Besterman and vocal designer AnnMarie Milazzo. 
The production is billed as "a newly reworked and fully re-imagined vision of this gripping tale," set in present-day Maine.

According to MCC, "Carrie White is a misfit. At school, she's an outcast who's bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she's at the mercy of her loving but cruelly over-protective mother. But Carrie's just discovered she's got a special power, and if pushed too far, she's not afraid to use it…"
 Tickets to the event, ranging $39-$99 (including an autographed poster from the event), are available by visiting mcctheater.org. The Lucille Lortel Theatre is located at 121 Christopher Street.
