In the first of two special episodes, we take a close look at the
original 1988 staging of Carrie, examining it song by song and
scene by scene to try and work out exactly where things go wrong
and why this show became so infamous in Broadway history. We’re
re-assessing Carrie from all angles! First up, Act One - and the
audience is perplexed to be discover Carrie's high school is
represented by an enormous shiny white box. The dancers share some
intimate details about 80s microphone technology, we hear the
reaction to Linzi Hateley’s big opening number, and we debate what
an ‘active gland’ might be. We would go bowling if you REALLY
cared! As well as our gang of original cast members and a
handful of superfans, we’re joined by writer and composer Stephen
Dolginoff (‘Thrill Me: The Leopold and Loeb Story’), online
performance pioneer Peter Michael Marino (‘Desperately Seeking
Susan’) and general legend/future Margaret White Kim Criswell who
all saw the show in 1988 and lived to tell the tale. Join us on our
