Chapter 4: Broadway: They’ll make fun of you, they will break your heart
Listen now
Description
The eager Carrie cast arrives in the Big Apple only to discover that very little has been done to address the show’s major problems, and that the show’s set has been lost in transit. But there is one major addition: Betty Buckley, a big-name Broadway star has joined the company. As the team nervously prepares for opening night, will New York audiences and critics be kinder to the show? We follow the journey from previews to press night to the shocking announcement that will shape Broadway history.  Join us on our social channels and share your feedback!

A bootleg audio recording of the show on Broadway, and a bootleg video of Act 1. The only known (and very blurry) footage of ‘The Destruction’ on Broadway, from an unaired German documentary, shot from the control booth. “You could take your money and throw it”... some TV reviews of the Broadway production. It ain’t pretty, folks. Some very grainy footage of the cast backstage on their final day. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s shady feedback at the opening night party.
