Chapter 9: Back from the dead

Carrie the Musical is back. It’s been revived in New York, it has
an official cast recording with millions of streams, and it’s about
to hit the mainstream. How did this famous flop end up being the
focus of a big-time teen drama series? Riverdale showrunner and
Chief Creative Officer of Archie Comics Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
joins us to explain all.  Plus, we find out how a new
generation of creatives are bringing Carrie to life in innovative
new productions around the world. We speak to Louis Hobson, Alice
Ripley and Keaton Whittaker from the Seattle production, Brady
Schwind, Kayla Parker and Emily Lopez from the California immersive
‘killer musical experience’ and Gary Lloyd, Evelyn Hoskins, Jodie
Jacobs and Kim Criswell from the Southwark Playhouse, London
staging, where some of our original cast members see the show again
for the first time... Join us on our social channels for exclusive
