Chapter 4: Broadway: They’ll make fun of you, they will break your heart

The eager Carrie cast arrives in the Big Apple only to discover
that very little has been done to address the show’s major
problems, and that the show’s set has been lost in transit. But
there is one major addition: Betty Buckley, a big-name Broadway
star has joined the company. As the team nervously prepares for
opening night, will New York audiences and critics be kinder to the
show? We follow the journey from previews to press night to the
shocking announcement that will shape Broadway history.  Join

video of Betty’s infamously epic performances of ‘Eve Was Weak’ and
‘When There’s No One’. A bootleg audio recording of the show on
Broadway, and a bootleg video of Act 1. The only known (and very
blurry) footage of ‘The Destruction’ on Broadway, from an unaired
German documentary, shot from the control booth. “You could take
your money and throw it”... some TV reviews of the Broadway
production. It ain’t pretty, folks. Some very grainy footage of the
cast backstage on their final day. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s shady
feedback at the opening night party. Please note that we don’t own
