"Featuring contributions from over eighty cast members, creatives, crew and audience members, Out for Blood pieces together the surprising, hilarious and often moving inside story of Carrie: The Musical to discover how this 'horror of a Broadway musical' lived, died and was subsequently resurrected as a mainstream succcess story. In 1988, following the success of its production of Les Miserables and in the wake of the commercial success of mega-musicals such as Cats, The Phantom of the Opera and Chess, the Royal Shakespeare Company agreed to co-produce a musical based on Stephen King's Carrie, written by the team behind Fame. The result was one of Broadway's most infamous disasters. Plagued by technical problems, on-stage chaos and a critical savaging, Carrie would soon become the by-word for musical theatreflops. But thanks to the efforts of a vocal army of fans and the impact of bootleg trading and emerging online communities, the show reinvented itself as a mainstream success story with thousands of productions wordlwide. Bringing together memories, archival material and contemporary reports, Out for Blood dives into the origins and development of this infamous show and examines how a promising entertainment product can swiftly gain a notorious reputation, what makes or breaks a Broadway show, and how even the most unlikely of musicals can find its place in the hearts of fans around the world."--page [4] of cover.
