Chris and Holly are BACK for another packed Carrie the Musical catch-up! It's been 35 years since the very first performance of Carrie, so what better excuse to find out what's been going in the Carrie-verse since our last episode? They're joined in the studio by a very special new member of the gang, as well as Sadie Kempner and Ellie McWilliam from the recent London Bridewell Theatre production (which may well have been directed by one of your hosts...) and very special guest Rosemary Jackson (understudy Carrie White) from the original 1988 cast! Plus, Chris has a literary announcement!

The latest True Crime / Broadway crossover podcast from Broadway Podcast Network: THIS IS REALITY. A completely true story, still unfolding.

How and why did a 25-year-old with a Pikachu bedspread become the #1 terrorist in the United States? In 2017, REALITY WINNER, a highly decorated former Air Force linguist was charged with leaking proof of Russian interference in the 2016 election to the media. Her goal – to help protect Democracy. Reality received the longest sentence ever imposed for unauthorized release of government information - five-years, three-months – for her patriotic efforts. THIS IS REALITY captures the unfolding events of the interrogation, the trial, the imprisonment and the current efforts to pursue clemency with those that were 'in the room' where it all happened. 

Produced by Dori Berinstein, Sally Horchow, and Rebecca Aparicio.

New from Broadway Podcast Network - Broadway's first True Crime podcast: "Burnt"

“Rebecca” the musical was supposed to be the next “Phantom of the Opera”, Broadway’s multi-billion dollar hit. Instead, “Rebecca” turned into one of the wildest, most bizarre, true-crime scandals the stage has ever seen. 

When a multi-millionaire stranger suddenly dies, a fire is lit that ends up consuming everyone involved in the show. In Burnt, the story of “Rebecca” winds its way through secret stings, many courtrooms, prison and freedom — and when the smoke finally clears, we’re left to wonder: who is really to blame and how in the hell did this happen?

It’s been quite a journey. Holly and Chris look back at their Carrie adventure and try and answer some burning questions. 

We ask an expert, author of ‘Flop Musicals of the Twentieth Century’ Stephen Purdy, if Carrie really can be defined as a flop compared to some prominent recent mega-failures.

We also find out from writer Peter Michael Marino, creator of the doomed ‘Desperately Seeking Susan’ musical, what it’s like to have your new musical trashed (FYI: we saw it twice and had a great time), plus Broadway star Alice Ripley also shares her experiences of being in well-loved musicals which were hit by premature closure, like ‘American Psycho’ and ‘Side Show’. 

And finally - a post mortem. Where did it go wrong? Who was to blame? Could Carrie have been fixed? Can you even do horror on stage? Can we just do this as a job forever? 

Plus, we leave the last word to our gang of original cast members to tell us how this extraordinary show changed their lives forever.
