Don’t miss this incredible one-night-only concert performance starring Dora Award Winner Lisa Horner and The Shaw Festival’s Tess Benger. Also featuring cast members from Mirvish Production’s Kinky Boots, The Wizard of Oz, Once, and The Stratford Festival.
Based on Stephen King’s thrilling novel, it tells the story of Carrie White, a misfit teenager who begins to discover she has telekinetic powers.
