Sounds like a bunch of BS to me. Menzel and Michele?

Posted: 6/9/10 at 6:54pmHighly unlikely, especially with that pair. No point in opening a revival of a legendary flop with a "star" who won't be able to stay with it for very long, unless Lea Michele is going to leave Glee, which is just as unlikely.

Not in our lifetimes, folks.
Besides, isn't CARRIE something that lives with more richness in our imaginations and memories? Leave that poor White girl alone! Hasn't she had enough??
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 6/9/10 at 9:15pmDO you really think Lea's handlers would let her go to an Off-Broadway musical? Not to mention, she kind of has tv show to do.

Found this interested. Read this article from June 8th. Read Stafford's bio.
He lists Carrie the Musical as "in development". Doesn't sound like "dead in the water" to me.

Also, interview with Pitchford from January of this year. Says he's writing a new Broadway musical called "Carrie". Near the bottom of the page.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 6:10amI think that, one day, it will and must happen. Inevitable as death.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

"in developement" doesn't always mean ACTIVE....or that anyone else thinks so.
But with them? It's wrong and it's highly unlikely.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I realize that "in development" doesn't always mean active, but that article was from last week.
The original producers pulled out last year. If the authors really got upset cut the cord, I doubt Arima would be listing it in his bio.
With something like Carrie being notorious for it's "never going to happen again because the authors don't want to let anyone touch it" standpoint, if the project were really "dead", Stafford would be far away from being "in development" on it.
I doubt Idina and Lea were/are/ever considered for the roles, but I bet we'll see SOMETHING from the show, be it a concert, a regional production, a workshop, or a revival in the near future.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 4:57pmBased on what I heard from people who attended the reading, Marin was incredible as Mrs White and that everyone involved was very impressed by her. The only reason I can imagine replacing her would be if they wanted to go with more of a name.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 4:58pmHehe, oh, you folks are such teases. I'll just wait for official news to come and not worry about it (so long, Mr. Myshikobit "Speculative" Jones :P)

Because Arima's going to immediately update his official bio to read "was recently working on a revival of Carrie that has completely stalled and most likely will languish in development hell for eternity"?
Don't be stupid. Playbill.com still lists David Foster's Betty Boop musical as "upcoming".
Almost as stupid is the idea that Lea Michele and Idina Menzel would possibly choose their reunion and Broadway return to be an off-Broadway revival of CARRIE. Really, people.
