There's Never Been a Musical Like Her...Carrie is BACK!!!

SADM2 will die when he sees this!

I would love to work on this show.

I have long envisioned a staging where at the final gym scene, walls truck in d/s closing off the scene, so that the audiences sees only hands desperately banging at the windows, silhouetted by flame. Gradually, the banging dies away and the flame rises...

This should be a monstrously effective show- though never a mass popular hit. Bring it back, minus the 80s kids from Fame!

i read a synopsis for carrie and it doesnt sound pleasant i will admit ! with most the main cast dying it was like hmm

Its meant to be horrid ! Its a horror book. The film is the campest thing ever LOVE IT!!! " Momma stop hurting yourself !" ha ha ha ha

JEFFREY SELLER? Of all people to produce this? Kevin McCollum is conspicuous by his absence on the announcement... do they reckon that just the notoriety of the show would be enough to get people through the door? Maybe off-Broadway, but the taint of the original production just seems too great to me.

SADM2/Dantes, did the rights holders say anything about a revised script? I'd be a little surprised if they'd have entertained you doing that, but then with this show of all shows I suppose anything goes.

I dunno how to feel about this. It could be glorious, and the show did have its moments (And Eve Was Weak is just mindblowing), but... it's Carrie. CARRIE, people.

Well, pretty much any film with strong dominant females can be sent up as camp by lip-syncing drag queens, but the film as it is really isn't that camp. Piper Laurie was a magnificently creepy Margaret White, especially now if you've seen any interviews with Fred Phelps's wife. Yikes!

Ok. I guess it depends on perspective. Like The Poseidon Adventure, I've never watched Carrie as a camp film. I always enjoyed it exactly as it was intended, but I will agree that nothing is too sacred to be gender-bent, lipstick smeared, and mimed on a karaoke stage.
