Chapter 3: Stratford: Doesn't anybody ever get it right?

Rehearsals for Carrie the Musical continue in Stratford-upon-Avon,
England. But as the show hurtles towards its opening night, the
cast soon feel like they’re working on two very different shows,
and the frustration of the writing team grows as they’re cut out of
the creative process.  Meanwhile, trouble is brewing behind
the scenes as musical legend Barbara Cook begins to doubt that
Carrie is the ideal vehicle for her big Broadway comeback, making
her point known with a very un-subtle gift for Director Terry
Hands. But is an on-stage accident on opening night enough to call
a halt to proceedings? And finally, as the British critics file
their reviews - is Carrie really ready for its big Broadway
transfer? (Spoiler: it is not). Join us on our social channels and
