It’s time for Noah’s hyperfixation to fall upon us all, like a gloopy bucket o pigs blood!! The musical adaptation of Stephen King’s coming-of-age horror Carrie was a legendary flop in the late 80s, before a well-received revival made it acceptable to modern day theatre kids. But what do we lose when we take glorious artistic messes n make them sensible…serious…boring??

Noah walks Anthony + Eliza through the entire misguided show, from dance numbers so hectic they call the dancers rights into question to some genuinely stirring duets between telekinetic teen Carrie and her freaky religious mom. Watch the janky bootlegged clips urself and make up your own mind ;)
