Sorry but there is no way that Marin will be replaced by Buckley..
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

LOL Curtain, maybe you would have liked it if it had naked boys in.
The show WILL have the rights released, this i know for sure. As for a recording i would not say never, it is 100 percent an option. Shame interest fell, but with mediocre reviews and very little publicity its not a surprise. Congrats to the cast and crew

Posted: 3/23/12 at 10:09pmI really hope this gets a recording. Aside from endlessly clunky lyrics I liked a lot of the songs, especially the new In.

When did I say I didn't like it?
Nakedness does not make a good show, it only enhances it (when done correctly).

The whole idea of this revival was misguided from the get-go.
The show's only notoriety, and the only reason it is remembered, is for its outrageous, laughable awfulness.
Take all that away, then all you have is a bad show like hundreds of others that no one wanted or wants to see. Apparently, no one wants to see this one, either.
But if the creators had decided to retain the campy awfulness, would there still have been a large enough audience just for that? Probably not.

Recording anything is an option, so what? The only way a recording happens is if the producers or writers pay for it - whether they will or won't remains to be seen, but NO label will be putting up the money for it.

Posted: 3/24/12 at 2:24amAbout a year ago, a friend with a show on Broadway told me that it cost about 250k for a cast recording. Can anyone corroborate?

Not that it means much in terms of actuality, but towards the end of the Diva Talk interview with Marin Mazzie there's the following exchange:
Question: Will there be a recording this time around?
Mazzie: I can't say a definite yes, but I'll say I'd be extremely surprised if there's not.
So there might be a cast recording *and* she'll definitely be involved with it.

Posted: 3/24/12 at 1:09pmNot to hijack, but I've still yet to see this. Has anyone done the rush for this? Is it difficult? I know it's out of the beaten path, so figured it might be not so hard to get a ticket.
#37CARRIE extension cancelled
Posted: 3/24/12 at 2:39pmI can't speak for rush, but I did the $20 under 30 promotion and got second row seats.

Posted: 3/24/12 at 5:42pmI wouldn't put too much stock in what Mazzie said. People say things like that al the time, and things don't always come through. As BK noted, someone needs to be willing to pay for it. Until then we can all cherish our boots of the original.
"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."

The question is: Now that this show is as dead as a doornail, how long will it be before someone posts a "Do You Think CARRIE Could Have Worked If They Changed..." thread and the needle plunges back into the vein all over again?
I'll be the dewy eyed optimist and say 8 months.
Anyone want to start a pool?
"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.”

^ Well, you could just refer any such future poster to the preview threads where the ideas about what is wrong with this production were thoroughly discussed.
First they did Vegas Carrie. Now they've done Constipated Carrie. If someone does Stephen King's Carrie, I'm sure we'll hear about it.

Posted: 3/24/12 at 8:49pmAt least the show wasn't a flop, it lasted longer than the original.

They're remaking the movie, again? What the hell, why? It has been proven time and time again that no reincarnation of this story will be as successful as the the book and original film.
I love this story, but I didn't know that it was popular enough to be re-made twice.

Rumors tell me THE SHNING Is being made into an opera.

I wonder how much dough it lost?
Had to be one of the most expensive shows to play the Little Lortel.
#48CARRIE extension cancelled
Posted: 3/25/12 at 7:07amGlad I came to New York to catch the show during its short run. Based on the musical's notoriety, it was great to finally see a performance. Agree with some others that Mazzie simply couldn't compete with Buckley's voice in the show - though I still enjoyed her in the role. Overall, the flawed production still made for an enjoyable evening of theatre, but in NO way was it ready for Broadway.

I am gonna guess they lost very little if any money, the original budget etc would have been based on the initial run (unless the producers are idiots) and it did play past it's original run
And Stafford is also saying that a recording is looking very likely
