Is it going to transfer to Broadway? And, if so, is there going to be a rush?!
Seriously, exciting news. I'll definitely be seeing this.

Posted: 5/31/11 at 6:49pmI felt like the 2009 workshop was a total, top-to-bottom miscast and I know I am not the only one. I am excited to learn that Carrie is returning, but perplexed to see the producers hitching their wagons to those horses.

Excited, can not wait.
Though im shocked Molly is staying on as i thought she was pretty weak in the workshop.
Namo i love u but we get it already....you don't like Madonna

Posted: 5/31/11 at 7:26pmI'm still hoping they restore "I'm Not Alone." I missed it in the workshop version.

Posted: 5/31/11 at 7:28pmMarin will KILL "When There's No One." I am SOBBING already. I may have to subscribe just so Im guaranteed a seat. :)

Posted: 5/31/11 at 9:01pmWhy would the then two-time lead actress Tony Award winner Sutton Foster want to be part of this show if she wasn't playing Margaret herself?

Posted: 5/31/11 at 10:14pmFoster will not leave Anything Goes for Carrie, and that's a positive for Anything Goes (where she is good) and a positive for Carrie (where she was emphatically not good).

Posted: 5/31/11 at 10:17pmMaybe Betty Buckley could reprise the gym teacher? Maybe get Amy Irving-that would be pretty cool.

Why would you say "Yay Marin!" when you "do hope that Sutton will stay on" in the same role?? I'm confused.

Posted: 5/31/11 at 10:45pmSutton played the gym teacher not Mrs. White.

No, no, everything's gonna be fine. It'll all come together the night of the show. It's gonna be a license to print money. This show is such a proven commodity, even a little miscasting can't hurt it. Carrie will run forever!
Optimism, theatre people, optimism!

I think this is a step in the right direction, but the right direction is NOT Broadway, in this show's case. It's regional licensing.
"Carrie" is by no means a perfect show. It's a fairly decent show of occasionally exceptional, occasionally mediocre material, married to memories of an exceptionally polarizing production. Frankly, "Carrie" could probably be done better at small theatres, colleges and regionals around the country than it was done on Broadway, and would have more of a life that way.

"Show curtain?"
It will be made entirely of used tampons.

Posted: 5/31/11 at 11:23pmI hope they're going to try to make this something more substantial than a period piece, TD.
