Anyone on this forum a fan of Carrie...whether it be the novel, film (1976), musical (1988 Broadway mega-flop), or second film?!

Personally love the films, enjoy some of the music from the musical, and am looking forward to reading the book! Has anyone else seen/heard/read my favourite Stephen King story?!

Ew yes the older one is sooooooo much better.

And the musical, is basically as bad as it can get. It flopped, losing $8 MIL (Broadway's biggest flop to date), and played 5 performance on Broadway altogether, May 12-May 15, 1988. Literally, there were practically no highlights of the night, the destruction was done with lazors apparently, they couldn't dump the blood on her, so they threw it at her (LOL), so it wouldn't ruin her mic, the costumes were spandex-y and not highschool like at all....lots of problems. Actually the gym teacher in the film from 1976..Betty Buckley played Carrie' mom in the musical on Broadway after the initial actress almost lost her head with an elaborate set piece :o!

Anyone, the show lives on from the fans:
Carrie... A Fan's Site: Music from the musical

There's only one full bootleg of the show (LOL!), one Act 1, and one soundboard recording, which you can listen to above. Some of it's on YouTube as usual.

My favourites are Carrie, I'm Not Alone (both sung by Carrie), and In...the opening number that seems like a workout video :p..chekc that one out on YouTube! :O

LOL I actually turned on the TV last night to find that Carrie was on which is why I left :). Only got to see when she goes to the prom, the prom, destruction & the ending!

And yes, what a mess I'm sure that show was! There are major talks of bringing it back & apparently it's back in workshop progress in London as of right now,...but the creator of the music for the musical won't budge! Stephen King actually liked it though...or so he said ;)!
