Carrie: The Musical
Thursday, September 27 – Sunday, October 12 (Various times); Chapel Off Chapel (12 Little Chapel St, Prahran)

Based on the classic Stephen King novel that was adapted into a famous film in 1976 (and to an extent, into a remake that came out last year, starring Chloë Grace Moretz), Carrie: The Musical recreates the horror of the tale by adapting its supernatural setting into a musical.
The classic horror story is about an outcast girl who, after being constantly bullied by her classmates, unleashes fire and brimstone upon them.
The Chapel off Chapel version of the musical is a revised take on the one debuted Off-Broadway in 2012.
Whether or not you have seen the film or read the book, Carrie: The Musical is definitely going to be an intriguing night out.

, if you are aware and try to blend in (step inside a shop or rtunasraet to read maps, etc.) most likely you will be fine. If your hotel room has a safe, it’s perhaps best to leave your passport and non-essential cards and cash there. The good news is that in central Paris there is rarely any sort of violent crime. One piece of advice: sadly, there is a big problem here with theft by gypsies and it’s good to brush up on their latest ploys. When I first arrived, it was the ring trick (and it is still common in more touristy areas). Someone comes up to you with a ring and asks if it’s yours that you have dropped. Just walk away. The newest trick is that a group of them will hang around a busy intersection or metro entrance and try to get you to sign a petition. Again, just walk away (clutching your bag). They will not hurt you, but they will pickpocket if you let them get close. Beware of the little kids too who come up to you in rtunasraets/cafes (fast food joints especially) or while you are picnicking. Don’t leave anything out on your picnic blanket or on the table that is not secured iphone theft is quite common this way. So again, I would not be overly worried. I don’t think you need to take specific precautions that you would not take in any city, with the exception of learning the latest gypsy strategies. But cities are cities and it’s almost much more inconvenient to have something stolen while you are traveling.
That’s going to make things a lot easier from here on out.
