We open this week, accompanied by Tom (with a brief initial assist from Sam) singing “Another Op'nin, Another Show” from Kiss Me Kate over scenes of the Bombshell cast and crew packing for out of town tryouts in Boston. Notably Ivy packs a photo of her awful mother. Rebecca takes a limo and the chorines meet up in Grand Central Station.
Christian Borle really nails the song and the arrangement incorporates phrases from “Let Me Be Your Star”. The number closes with Karen standing wide-eyed on the stage as tech crew scurry under Derek's direction. With the final notes fading a missed cue results in the theater being plunged into darkness. From out of the dark, we hear Derek: “Oh bloody hell!”
Meanwhile, Julia's at home lying next to Frank in bed, smiling.
Back in Boston Rebecca stands nervously on the bare stage. Derek enters and spots her there; she leaves hurriedly.

We've been talking about Carrie The Musical for quite some time here on Dread Central, and with its premiere date of January 31st creeping up on us, the McC Theater has dropped some eye candy and more!
Based on Stephen King's bestselling novel, the musical of Carrie hasn't been seen since its legendary 1988 Broadway production.

Set today, in the small town of Chamberlain, Maine, Carrie features a book by Lawrence D. Cohen (screenwriter of the classic film), music by Academy Award winner Michael Gore (Fame, Terms of Endearment), and lyrics by Academy Award winner Dean Pitchford (Fame, Footloose).
The cast is led by Tony Award nominee Marin Mazzie (Next to Normal, Kiss Me Kate) as Carrie's evangelical mother, Margaret White, and Molly Ranson (Jerusalem,...
