49: Carrie the Musical; Or, A Hog-Wild Show

Gather 'round, listeners, and attend the tale that still leaves Broadway producers shaking in their Greek sandals. Yes, it's the truly terrifying story of Carrie: The Musical.

Rob teaches Ray about the opera performance that inspired the writers of this grisly adaptation; how homophones lead to togas; the fan-base that sprang up to support (and bootleg) this flailing production; and why Carrie encapsulates the ephemeral nature of theatre in a rare way.
