Carrie Musical

[Property of the Overlook]

Have you heard of a musical to Carrie. I found a dvd of it on www.ioffer.com for $10 and was wondering if it was worth getting.

Do you know anything about a Carrie musical Ms. Mod?

I think it lasted one night before it closed on Broadway. Not sure if that's the same one being offered.

There have been reports that a group is revising the musical script and plans to put it on Broadway again.

The heard the music, and saw some videos, it's awful!
The music was so out of character for the characters we read about.
This musical was written after FAME the musical, so that should tell you
something. I wouldn't recommend it, you could prob. watch it somewhere
online for free, save your money!

You know it sounds like it could work if it's done right... but there's a million ways to ruin a good idea.
Maybe if they re-worked it and opened in a smaller venue, somewhere in like say... Seattle it may do better.
Not ready for Broadway evidently.
So how does one get to Carnegie Hall?

Broadway is really picky, even their great shows were pulled from the stage which is just Crazzyy! I mean they took, Hairspray, Rent, Legally Blonde, Avenue Q, the list goes on and on. If your going to be on Broadway, or have a show that meets the standards you need to sell thousands, to millions of tickets. If they have a short, or a drop, then the show gets pulled. It's a dog eat dog world, and sometimes Carrie can't even controll it haha. The show did have potential, it just wasn't written good at all.
