#Carrie The Musical

[imthefailedartist]

Carrie is fat in the book. Learning that completely blew me.

The use of pigs blood makes so much more sense. The reason she was bullied so relentlesly, even though she does nothing to nobody, makes so much more sense. The relationship with her mother makes so much more sense.

I know they aren't going to, but I wish they would cast someone fat in this new Carrie adaptation. From the articles I've seen, they are already speculating which skinny actress it's going to be.

How many times can they tell the story the same exact way? The answer: endlessly.

I don't know what's worse the total erasure of fat people in movies or the only story we get to see ourselves in are the love yourself fatty movies.

I don't care if she commits atrocities, bro, she's justified by the narrative

Some people don’t get that when a story “race bends” a white character to a poc it can make their character arc richer because alot of people see race bending as just “woke snowflake liberal propaganda�� or whatever and not a storyteller looking find a deeper, more nuanced meaning to an already established character.

Like in the Carrie musicals she was always played by a white girl and then in one small production a black girl was casted to play her and all of a sudden everything about her shifted. It wasn’t just about an awkward girl being bullied it was about an awkward black girl being bullied and targeted because she was black in a predominantly white school. It wasn’t just about a girl being fed up with being bullied and taking her anger out on her classmates, it was also about how black girls constantly have to hide their anger in a time of their life when they’re supposed to be emotional. Her relationship with her mom and being beaten and forced into Christianity literally like a slave. Everything is suddenly more deeper now and it made me like Carrie even more while also making me be a little more critical of the original.

So people asking “If show and book Louis are the same then why do you like show Louis more but hate book Louis” it’s because his character is deeper now that he’s black and because of that I can see the flaws in the way book Louis was written. Also because he’s a slave owner. 💀

Here is a follow up to my previous book!Carrie designs. I tried to stick closely with the book descriptions, especially for Margaret, but some of the characters were left to my imagination. I was heavily influenced by the 2002 adaptation of Sue, as she's by far my favourite interpretation of that character.

Been listening to the Carrie musical (so good btw, pls take a listen) and drew the star herself, Carrie White. Added some alt images.

I love Carrie so much. I seriously relate to her so much more than I can describe.

Socially awkward, bullied in multiple ways, outcasted since she was young, grown up in a religious household and pressure, having religious trauma and fear, built up rage, day dreaming and social anxiety, isolation, people pleasing, feeling as if kind gestures are some sort of prank, and last of all…seeing that comparison and her completely destroying everyone and everything that hurt her and then disappearing with it—having some sort of peace. Watching it all burn after the final straw snaps. The ultimate fantasy.

there's always the right sounding version of a musical, and it's never the one easy to find in spotify

I think the world would end if Chris Hargensen, Heather Chandler, and Regina George were in a room together

The first preview for Carrie the musical and the opening night of Chess on Broadway were the same day of April 28, 1988.

I can only imagine the psychic damage poor Anders Eljas—who orchestrated both, who has never orchestrated a Broadway show since, probably from the Trauma—endured that day.

actually carrie white was right to destroy her entire town with her mind. perhaps even sanctioned by god.

Some fanart of Book Carrie.

As much as I love all three film adaptations in different ways, I still mourn for a closer adaptation to the novel (Points to 2002 though for trying and 2013 until studio interference)
