She’s Baack! Movie Mom Piper Laurie Takes In First Preview of Resurrected Carrie

The infamous musical Carrie, based on the novel by Stephen King, received new life on January 31 as MCC Theatre's re-imagined production began previews at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. The sold-out performance was the first glimpse New York audiences have seen of Carrie since its abbreviated Broadway run in 1988. The first preview drew one very special guest: Piper Laurie, who received an Oscar nomination for her performance as Carrie’s mother, Margaret White, in the 1976 film.
