Wow ! What note on the scale does Betty hit at about 2:38 on the counter when she sings,"And the sin never dies" ? It must be a high E. And she was never afraid to hit those notes at full force. I was lucky enough to see her in both 'Cats' and later in 'Edwin Drood'.. What a beautiful and resonant voice she has.
What a thrilling(and sometimes chilling)voice Betty Buckley has. She has such a wonderful ringing resonance in her voice and a large range. My favorite Broadway performer, nobody is close,in my opinion.Also, in the many interviews I've seen her do,she has a great,down to earth,unpretentious person. Many thanks for sharing this video for her many fans.
Every time I listen to Betty's songs in this show it gives me the chills. She is so incredibly good on these numbers. The recent version with Marin Mazzie couldn't touch the power and emotion in Betty's voice. She is an amazing talent.
everybody seems to blame the direction, but the things like lighting and the ends of scenes and things like that look really epic to me just sounds like the play was hard to put on, cos i swear it had a world class director?
@helencheddar well, in the book thats what it was, in the first film, she actively caused the electrics to go crazy, and i dont recall the remake but i think its the same. In this though, she just starts singing "he will burn you" and orange lights flash everywhere, so methinks its fire
ALL of the songs sung by Carrie and her Mother are amazingly BEAUTIFUL. Unfortunately, most of the other songs in the show are not. The songs sung by her classmates at school are mostly forgettable mid-80s style pop songs. Some of them are catchy, some of them are just OK ...and some of them are AWFUL. The script and its structure are vague and confusing. Carrie's powers never explained at all. In order to truely revive "CARRIE", at least 1/3 of it needs to be rewritten...
Good news :) in the 2012 Off-Broadway revival, they completely retooles the entirr show. They kept the good songs (namely, the ones by Carrie, Margaret, Carrie and Margaret, and also the one between Carrie and the gym teacher,) slightly altered the mediocre songs to make them better. Completely axed the bad songs and replaced them with either brand new songs or simply spoken scenes. They also restaged it for a smaller, more intimate stage. Better special effects too. (Especially the interactive Carrie: The Killer Musical Experience at the La Mirada theatre in Los Angeles. Like, the audience seats actually move in that production. You truly feel lile you're IN the high school gym.) And the newly retooled version that the Off-Broadway 2012 show pioneered is the version that has soet of exploded in popularity and become the version that theatres everywhere are doing.
@omnigeek13 i thought she had telekinetic powers and they resulted in starting a fire by flooding the room with the fire hose and the amps set on fire.
@jasonsbrain2 I agree with you for the most part, but I gotta say I think that "In" and "Dream On" are both amazing songs that lull the audience unsuspectingly. Especially, because the lyrics are so cutthroat for the former. And I love what happens to the set in "Dream On." I think those two (of the 80s pop variety) work really well and fit with the movies and book the show is based on.
copycat brain Cause yk around 1:40 they’re both off the room set thingy (idk how to explain it but I’m sure you’ll understand). At least that’s what I think the comment is about I’m not sure idk
so... is she telekinetic or pyrokinetic in the production? shes supposed to be telekinetic, but all the stage references pertain to fire. just confused
I suppose they wanted to make the public understand that the fire meant to Carrie that she was unleashing hell by disobeying her mother and for Margaret, that her daughter's powers symbolized that hell was near. That or the production wanted Carrie to be telekinetic and pyrokinesic, lol
@killoa2002 i wonder if they'll keep the reading cast or hold auditions. My friend and I decided we would audition if they had open auditions when the revival comes.
Its such a shame that it flopped. The show was good but "Wotta Night" and "Out for Blood", not to mention the staging and overused choreography must've ruined it.

I love this song sung by the incredible Betty Buckley!!
Her fucking hands are on fire oh my god. Still have no idea how they did that.
does anyone else get chills when Carries screams NO? I hate it when they take it out on other shows/rewrites/renditions.
I used to think it was Carrie, but now I believe it’s Margaret reacting to Carrie unleashing her powers.
@@giovannirastrelli9821 no it is Carrie Linzi Hateley is famous for her scream lol
Sends shivers down my spine every time. Just a beautiful and haunting musical. It's perfection

Did I just see flames come out of Linzi Hateley's hands? What kinda cool effects were in this show?
Wow! On those tolling chords around 2:53!
They weren’t in the Stratford tryout, then added to Broadway, but sadly were removed again for the revival.
That voice! Wow!!!!!

the director had never done a musical, it was unanimous that the musical when Carrie and Margaret were involved it was great, everything else sucked.

So...is no one going to point out that Carrie uses her powers to open a portal to hell?!
YOLO.
love this song!
"NO MORE PRAYING, MAMA!"
god I love that line so much. The revival really fucked up by changing it.
God that NO! is so powerful

@@quentinbarrentine5114 yeah i agree with you,but they should have kept the song heaven that is so beautiful.
@@quentinbarrentine5114 2012 version is pure garbage.
@@quentinbarrentine5114 that La Mirada version was something special. It should have been filmed

Can someone tell me what happens to the set at 3:00 ? Does Carrie somehow make it catch on fire?
I think it's red lights. I know in the Broadway version she makes fire balls come out of that hole.
The 2012 revival eats shit compared to this masterful staging and orchestrations...
Carrie is fianlly going to be revived!!!
Both Carrie and Margaret broke the 4th wall.
no
copycat brain I think it’s a joke
copycat brain Cause yk around 1:40 they’re both off the room set thingy (idk how to explain it but I’m sure you’ll understand). At least that’s what I think the comment is about I’m not sure idk
can anyone tell me when carrie will come back to broadway? i really want to see this musical!
so... is she telekinetic or pyrokinetic in the production? shes supposed to be telekinetic, but all the stage references pertain to fire. just confused
10 years later and we still don't know😔
@@nootcla lmaoo

I thought Carrie can shoot lasers from her hands? Maybe that's why she can also create fire.
@killoa2002 i wonder if they'll keep the reading cast or hold auditions. My friend and I decided we would audition if they had open auditions when the revival comes.
this musical had extremely good music....mixed with some cheesey 80s wannabe pop
damn i'd LOVE to have the mp3s of that production, any idea where you can get them? that link didn't work :-/
I would really like to have the sheet music. Especially for this song. Could you please contact me about it? =$
It's so unfortunate that the songs with Carrie and her mother were so amazing and the rest of the show was such a mess...
You just don't understand what they are going for, the school life and the life with Margaret are supposed to be obviously different.
Totally agree. They should have stuck with the dark tone for the whole show. Instead of the crappy pop music 😬
@kaijumovies96 good luck getting the rights to perform it. especially since they are in the process of reviving it
This is such a wonderful song! Do you have the mp3 for this?
@killoa2002 And now it's officially confirmed!!!!
The Broadway transfer added a lot more light effects and pyrotechnics.
@kaijumovies96 i understand that, but i think the presentation is kinda confusing
Its such a shame that it flopped. The show was good but "Wotta Night" and "Out for Blood", not to mention the staging and overused choreography must've ruined it.
helencheddar “Out for blood” is my favourite!!!
@jasonsbrain2 would you like the sheet music for this? i have it if you want.
Because the audio for the Stratford video is awful.
Sure, private message me with an email address so I can send it to you. :)
fiddlefiend do you have this recording?
