“Hosts Chris and Holly have hurled themselves at the complicated web of CARRIE THE MUSICAL, they’ve taken us with them, and, boy, we are stuck here! What originally began as a deep dive has evolved into a massive submarine, sweeping like a hurricane through the bottom of the Atlantic.
Adapted from Stephen King’s novel, CARRIE may be the “queen of flops,” only lasting 5 performances on Broadway and losing its entire 8 million dollar investment ($17.7 million in 2021), but it is also one of the most discussed, researched, analyzed, reviled, and beloved productions in the history of American Theatre. Its backstory is as compelling as what ended up onstage, and Holly and Chris reunited nearly everyone involved to tell it — including hilarious and endearing accounts from audience members who were actually there.
This beautifully crafted podcast explores a show that has been obsessed over and worshipped for decades by millions of fans through bootleg recordings and memorabilia. Even if you don’t yet know CARRIE, trust me, you’ll definitely want to meet her.
