World Premiere
HIT SHOW
A New Musical by Billy Recce

June 9-13, 2027

HIT SHOW drops you into a jazz-fueled fever dream where the spotlight burns and the truth keeps slipping out of reach. A swanky, noir-flavored musical inspired by the 1963 kidnapping of Frank Sinatra Jr. and set against the stirrings of the q***r liberation movement, it unfolds like a smoky floor show with a dangerous edge. The lights are low, the martinis are cold, and the night is closing in. Sexy, volatile, and darkly funny, HIT SHOW is a high-gloss hallucination of fame at its most intoxicating and corrosive—a world of flashbulbs, backrooms, and buried secrets where image is currency and identity is a risk. Featuring a cast of four, this world premiere musical blurs performance and confession into an electrifying, late-night experience that lingers long after the music stops.

HIT SHOW is a joint world premiere from Southern Plains Productions in Oklahoma City and The Carnegie. Book today at the link in the comments.

“IT’S GONNA BE A NIGHT WE’LL NEVER FORGET.”

A co-production of The Carnegie and University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.

From the twisted imagination of Stephen King comes a tale of terror, power, and teenage rage like no other. CARRIE: THE MUSICAL thrusts you into the world of Carrie White — the shy outsider bullied at school and tormented at home by her fanatically religious mother. But when she discovers a strange new power, the tables turn… and the results are explosive. Fueled by a driving rock score and raw, emotional intensity, this cult classic crackles with fear, fury, and fire — until everything ignites. Bold, bloody, and utterly unforgettable, it’s a night at the theatre you won’t escape unscathed.

CARRIE: THE MUSICAL haunts The Carnegie from October 23-November 1. Book today at the link in the comments.
