Carrie
Carrie White is a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else.

PROGRAMMING NOTES
This licensed orchestration is based on the 2012 Off Broadway Revival at the Lucille Lortel Theatre produced by MCC Theater.
This show is orchestrated to be conducted from the Keyboard 1/Conductor book. There are 2 keyboard books in this show both with programming.
Keyboard 1/Conductor is the primary piano book. You will need a strong rhythmic and experienced player who can navigate the part and the programming while leading the band. Although mostly piano, most of the additional sounds and patches are very specific synth elements such as pads, EP’s, and harp.
Keyboard 2 is much more densely programmed and will require someone who has experience navigating lots of programming. The sounds in this book include various B3 Organ’s, EP’s, pads, bells, harp, woodwinds, strings, choir, percussion, brass, and even an Indonesian Gamelan to name a few. Many of the original sounds and patches used in the programming for this orchestration were from Native Instruments FM8 and Absynth.
