I can see problems with the show, and why it didn’t go to Broadway. But I also think that with a little tweaking, it could happen. The songs are gorgeously written.

"Everyone has a carrie in them" sure, but remember kids if you ever get humiliated the way carrie does doesn't mean you get to use you telekinetic abilities to wreak havoc on all the bitches that hurt you at prom... You knew that? Okey dokey just checkin'
Plot twist: The whole Anastasia musical is Sue dreaming of her as a princess and Tommy as a con man and they actually end up together after the whole destruction went down. The ensemble of Carrie is the ensemble of Anastasia and the other characters (Vlad, Lily, and the Dowager) are member’s of Sue’s family. It’s a coping mechanism for Sue so she can deal with everyone’s deaths. No this isn’t real don’t take me seriously 😂
Very few things in this world are hotter than a performer feeling the music, nailing it, undeniably and unquestionably owning every syllable and note, and then relaxing at the end with this "*Sigh* well that wasn't bad, let's give it another go".
The movie adaptation was showing in the tv yesterday, and I didn't even give my sister the chance to finish saying, "There's a movie called Carrie on the tv and it has a character called Sue--" I ran headfirst into the next room, dived onto the bed and screeched, "YUP THAT'S THE ONE!", scaring my cousin in the process.
Holy crap. I have listened to this recording over and over countless times and always loved And Eve Was Weak....to see her performing it in the studio and her creating that performance...wow I teared up. That woman is amazing!!!
musiclife97 I play Sue and I agree but epilogue is considered “on of sues songs” and I gotta say it’s the reason I auditioned for sue because the song left a impact on me.
I enjoyed both the Broadway and off-Broadway productions, which audiences loved. I am pleased that the L.A. show received rave reviews, and I congratulate Messrs Pitchford (lyrics) and Gore (music) for their triumph!!
I didn’t know Ben Thompson was in this production too!!! I’ve now officially met 3 people who were in this haha! And they were all so incredibly kind and talented (Ben recently joined the cast of Waitress on Broadway as Earl! He’s scary in the show lol)
From it's meager premiere, and the 30 years since, I have been a huge fan of Carrie The Musical. Throughout all of those years, I have seen nearly 25 different productions by both armature and professional casts. I hate witnessed the evolution from an already beautiful & amazing show to the masterpiece it has finally become. But it still pisses me off that, because of one single critic who had a grudge against one of the producers, wrote such a horrible review of the original production. And to this day, Carrie has never gotten a fair shot because of that single 1987 review. If there is any musical that deserves a spot ON Broadway, it's Carrie. Aside from that, I have to say that Marin Mazzie was the best Margaret White. Sorry Betty Buckley & Barbara Cook. You were both wonderful, but this one goes to Marin.
I share your enthusiasm but my understanding was also some bad buzz that was hard to overcome. Also, apparently the non-Carrie/Margaret White scenes were problematic. I also think that Debbie Allen's presence added an unintentionally garish element. In Peter Filichia's "Not Since Carrie: 40 Years of Broadway Flops" he describes one sequence as "over choreographed." It seems the choreography was at war with the show. I'm a director and choreographer. The dance element is important to me but in the '88 production it seemed a misfire. Anyway I to share your enthusiasm for this show and hope to direct it locally in Northern California,
I saw the original production. It was awful. Why were they all wearing catsuits? Worst costumes ever. You wouldn't have been able to follow the plot unless you previously read the book or saw the movie. The director was very misguided. The new songs replace inferior songs too. Everything about this last version better.
@@stephenlandsman director: “can you make this like greeSe?” Costume/set designer: “sure! GreeCe!” Thus the Roman tragedy..of Carrie the 1987 musical..
didn't know anything about the show before seeing the West Coast Premiere in LA a month or so ago at La Mirada theatre. Unbelievable. The seating areas are moved around withing the theater space which was kept entirely on the stage with the audience actually sitting in High School Bleachers. Misty Cotton was brilliant as Margaret and Emily Lopez was amazing. 37 years of going to theater and never saw anything quite like it. Hopefully they will be bringing it back to a permanent venue and if they do...and you're a fan. Get there if you can. You won't believe what it's like to be thrust into the middle of the story.
This is one of my favourite musicals; not in that it's perfect, I just have a lot of love for it. But oh my goodness Derek Klena looks like such a baby in this video my god.
Yeah, you can hear on the recording that she has some sort of accent, but because of her last name (de Waal, I believe) I thought it was a Dutch or a German accent.
Ghostlight Records, is there a video recording of this version? The only one I've found online appears to be a bootlegged version or something-- very poor quality.
gaah. I like the album, but I HAAAATE the arrangement of Eve was Weak. It takes all the religiously zealous drama out of the song. The best part of that song is the strings, and there's just a guitar in this version. It just doesn't sound big enough.
Or if she had friends after the blood spill. “OMG ARE YOU OKAY?” “NO! HELP ME NOW!” “WE’VE GOT YOU SWEETIE!” “HELP MEE PLEASEEEE” “ITS OKAY WE CAN HELP!” “THANKS!” No death 👏
I agree that it feels like they have lost a bunch what the original had going for it, and i really miss the song at the drive in song and the full scene of piggy, they should have kept certain parts in and not change it to cater to an updated time and place. there are shows that dont need updating, hated the new movie with all the phones and crap.
I like the original 1988 one better it atleast went to Broadway when musical doesn't go to Broadway it's usually really bad goes to show that the original was better
@@Blue-xt7kc that may be true, however it didn't receive mediocre scores and it may not have went to Broadway and but it did go to West end which is also pretty, the revival didn't get the treatment it got similar scores as the original did.
I can see problems with the show, and why it didn’t go to Broadway. But I also think that with a little tweaking, it could happen. The songs are gorgeously written.
T L Technically, it already has been on Broadway, in 1988, and it FLOPED HAAARRRDDD!!!!

Actually the two versions went to broadway
They just cut some of the lyrics from the original

This show is beautiful, we just finished a run here and I played Carrie.
RIP Marin Mazzie. What a powerhouse
I love Sue's character but her songs are the least memorable ones.
musiclife97 for real, it's a bit disappointing too because a cool character like that can have some real amazing songs
Natalie Janine and it’s a shame because her actress is a beautiful singer
I feel like she laces some of the songs, but other than that, you're right
musiclife97 I play Sue and I agree but epilogue is considered “on of sues songs” and I gotta say it’s the reason I auditioned for sue because the song left a impact on me.

yeah i’m a huge riverdale stan but i have loved this musical before riverdale, and they butchered this and heathers 🙄😤
Y is this true
Molly ranson is nothing compared to linzi hateley
Y'all forgetting about Keaton Whittaker
10:33 Looks like Sissy Spacek perfomance in the eyes kkkkk
I lost my shit at that part.
Damn!!
Now I want to see this musical. The songs are amazing!
Christy is such an angel 😍
Marin Mazzie gives a fanatic performance as Margaret.

Molly was at least 22 in this....... I envy her vocals (in a good way ;P)

i agree! it feels like it’s missing something, like there’s all this build up for a single ahem that just isn’t satisfying
Why does Margaret kill Carrie at the end?
nutella 444_555 because she believes that Carrie is possessed and she believes that to kill her is the only way to save her
Oml Derek is a fetus 😂
Ms. Gardener?
Bro think about it. This wouldnt have ever happened if carrie didnt get her period. This wouldnt have ever happened if eve ate that god damn apple
seriously
Also if Carrie didn't find out her powers then this would be a completely different story
Or if she had friends after the blood spill.
“OMG ARE YOU OKAY?”
“NO! HELP ME NOW!”
“WE’VE GOT YOU SWEETIE!”
“HELP MEE PLEASEEEE”
“ITS OKAY WE CAN HELP!”
“THANKS!”
