Chapter 6: Act Two: Sh*t! Look at all these pigs!

We continue our deep, deep dive into Broadway’s most infamous flop
as we charge head-first into the madness and mayhem of Act
Two!  And mayhem it really is! Leather outfits! Dead pigs! Is
that a medieval sword? A rap! A giant disco ball! Lasers! Oh my! As
the audience cracks up at the infamous line ‘it’s a simple little
gig, you help me kill a pig, and I’ve got some plans for the
blood’, we hear first-hand from the cast about that iconic but
tricky blood-soaked finale, not to mention the reaction to
Broadway’s most expensive staircase. And can it really be true that
the cast was met by a chorus of boos at the curtain call… or is
there more to it? Wotta night! Oh! Also - did anybody mention that
Carrie is telekinetic? No? Join us on our social channels and share
