Carrie the Musical - Singing Carrie

JOIN THE BRAND NEW CARRIE THE MUSICAL SOCIAL NETWORK.. It's like a Carrie the Musical Themed facebook. Help it grow into something great!
Interviews about "Carrie the Musical" with Lawrence D. Cohen (Writer) and Betty Buckley (Margaret White) From the special edition of the film. I think they deliberately left out pictures and audio from the musical to spark curiousity. It sure worked. Now that it's 20 years later, and bootleg video and audio have surfaced, I bet the revival is coming. Here is a posting I found:

[@janhoke7796]

Wonderful recall Betty Buckley!!! Thank you Betty Buckley! ♥️Xxxooo

[@SnuggleWithMePlz]

I am a HUGE supporter of Carrie the Musical! Bring it back! Please!

[@diontaedaughtry974]

Great video

[@noirstar]

I saw "Carrie" on Broadway. It was at best 2 stories trying to exist at the same time on one stage; it never really worked.. and they ALWAYS clashed. It was part "Fame" & part "Carrie", the Film. Ironically, if I recall correctly, Betty Buckley wasn't the original Margaret; it was Barbara Cook.. There was all kinds of hoopla about British Equity v.s. American AEA, & how many of the original English cast could be part of the show. End of story, Betty Buckely was EXQUISITE, as was Lindsey H.

[@tank00X]

carrie will return

[@pukinowt]

i know the director of the show terry hands, who says that they were getting standing ovations pretty much on every night and the audiences loved it, it was just the fact that it was a taboo subject in the play and it was really the critics that shut it down. the same thing happened with les miserables, the critics slammed it originally but it had already been settled into a theatre by contract so it survived and has become huge; i recon this could have been the case with carrie aswell

[@MistyVVaves]

I'm so excited for you to be hopefully be getting involved in this! I'll crossing my fingers like crazy for this revival.

[@sethfelson]

In reality, we booed because they were dead. It was an angry reaction to what happened ON the stage. It had NOTHING to do with the performances or the show. Linzi and Betty were BRILLIANT!

[@Lemonade467]

Hey I know this was 2 years ago but they both die in the movie and in the book. Well the book ended a little different but I wish they ended it with the trial and then a little girl who reincarnated Carrie powers in the end she felt loved at last.

[@this_Joe_Smith]

I *always* believed the boo-ing was a reaction to the character death *not* the show. Glad I'm not alone in thinking that.

[@JoanBette]

How the hell is “Carrie” like “Lulu”?? Either way, I love the music in both of them!

[@this_Joe_Smith]

I've only heard Lulu described (haven't seen or heard it). But it's my understanding the similarities were simply destruction&bloody death.

[@jnewmark41]

There is such a HUGE fanbase for such a flop show ! Anyone who brought CARRIE back with the right marketing would be genius ! I could see Bernadette Peters playing Margaret.

[@lc3920]

Yes that would be great ..... ;)

[@StarKillerLucas]

Thanks for posting this! Out of curiosity, what version of the script did you get? I’m familiar with the pre-revival workshop but the song list seems more like the 1984 workshop.

[@kyramahlervolleyball]

It looks like it is the 1984 workshop, since it has the same songs and only has the act one songs.

[@Filmmaker356]

I am THRILLED there is a chance that this show will be revived; I just hope Betty Buckley returns and (finally) records this show. Having seen the original production twice (once on Mother's Day! then on opening night), I can attest that this was an example of the perfect melding of actor/part (Betty Buckley/Margaret). When the show was stopped after WHEN EVE WAS WEAK, it was not just mesmerizing, but something that said: THEATRE. Live was the only way to experience this sensation!

[@Ryanlaskey]

@babeandandy yes i now know that but when i left the comment there was no public plans for a revival

[@cantapinoy]

Well...now that "Gypsy's" closed Patty Lupone can dig her hands as Margaret White in this so-called revival!

[@daviddarkmaster]

The revival is on! Apparently it's not going to be an Opera-like and the songs are going to be re-written. When I heard that, my excitement was cut down to a nub. The soundtrack was amazing; why the @#$%&! would they want to change it?

[@backstagebear]

Why do they insist on having her hands catch fire? I know it looks "cool" on stage - when the effect works, but it has nothing to do with the story.

[@survivor147]

Are they business or sexual partners?

[@bitchass7198]

survivor147 I’ve actually wondered that myself

[@this_Joe_Smith]

Cohen is in a love relationship with one of them either Pitchford or Gore, (don't remember which)

[@babeandandy]

@Ryanlaskey Well i see you left this rather pessimistic comment over a year ago, lol, so I don't know if you'll ever regard my reply... But guess what... It's in the process of being revived... A workshop is going to be held on November 20th 2009 (which at the moment is 4 days from now) Just thought I'd let you know someone is taking it on

[@babeandandy]

My point was that you were being extremely pessimistic and saying no one wanted to... Well obviously some people did lol

[@Ryanlaskey]

seriously you were in the original cast? whats yur name caoz my dad was in the original cast as well he was stand-by for Billy Nolan

[@Ryanlaskey]

but lets be honest here. The revival IS NOT confirmed, there has only been a reading so dont plan your trip yet. Either way, that chances of there being a revival after the bollocks it turned out to be were pretty slim, so forgive me for my honest comment.

[@user-gy5fd2rm5y]

Ryan Laskey Well you were wrong

[@this_Joe_Smith]

@@user-gy5fd2rm5y ❤

[@monateegs]

lol.

[@bluegobo]

Peters as Margaret White? A vocally taxing role for an actress who frequently has vocal problems? Sure...

[@AtLastOnTheGround]

I'll say this -- It was an interesting, unique attempt to try to take a Stephen King work and make it into a musical... But it failed. Some books were not meant to be put onstage.
