"Carrie: the musical" featurette#1

Posted: 3/5/09 at 11:45pm

I was in the DVD section of a supermarket and they had a new DVD of the Sissy Spacek movie version of "Carrie" and on the back of it they listed that they had a featurette about "Carrie: the musical".

Has anyone here seen the featurette? Is it worth getting the DVD for?

No. It's about six minutes of Buckley and Pitchford talking about the show. No footage, no photos. If you like the movie, go ahead and get the DVD, but don't just get it for that "featurette."

If I remember correctly from when I rented it several years ago it was just Betty Buckley and (I think) Lawrence Cohen talking about it. There were no clips (audio or video), and it was not very long at all. If you really want to to see it I suggest renting it, or searching Youtube to see if somebody has shared it. It's unlikely that it would be something you would watch more than once, so not worth buying the DVD just for that if you don't actually want to own the movie.

Oh, that's right, it's Cohen. I was trying to remember who it was, so I just picked the first name which came to mind.
