Carrie 1988 Pyro-hands Appreciation Post

The biggest shock when I watched Carrie 1988 the first time was Carrie’s pyrohands at the end of Act 1. The effect makes no sense story wise, but I absolutely love it. It looks so badass.

Linzi Hateley

Carrie 1988

[melodiesofmidnight]

Obsessed with The Destruction from the 1988 Stratford-upon-Avon production of Carrie: the Musical.

[fiyero3305]

The closest we've gotten is Linzi Hateley in the original musical who was at least a little plump

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.

Ehy Val! How was the return from Milan? Any interesting anecdotes to tell about the experience of Les Miserables?

oh hi, love!!

yes, milan was amazing! obviously i already visited it last year for phantom (..... i still can't elaborate that i've actually seen it. and with THEE ramin karimloo too!), but this trip was also special.

1. i met @mircallaruthven - first time i've ever met a mutual irl in over ten years on tumblr lmao. she was as smart and lovely as i'd expected, of course - can't wait to see each other again ❤️

2. les mis was great! soooo, these are my impressions of the show:

the cast was VERY solid! unfortunately it was the staged concert, and i was far away enough from the stage so i could see perfectly the scenography (bare as it was. the lighting was great tho!) but very little of the actors' faces lol. the acoustic was flawless tho.

daniel koek was a very classic, somewhat old-school jean valjean, with beautiful singing and a strong, operatic voice. i enjoyed him very, very much.

my brother and i were absolutely floored by bradley jaden's javert (our favorite character, to no one's surprise). great voice, and a heartbreaking javert's soliloquy. on a more shallow note, he's also very handsome sjdjhdhf (#hotjavert agenda keeps winning!)

channah hewitt was such an emotional fantine - all the feelings poured down from her body, from her voice, like water. i couldn't see it that well from the gallery (thanks astigmatism i guess lol) but her wig (and cosette's) was glorious.

i think enjolras was harry grant smith - and he sounded and acted exactly as i imagine enjolras would. powerful baritone voice, but still with a boyish, youthful note. commanding, "charming but capable of being terrible", charismatic but also somehow an introvert. he was really good.

the thénardiers (gavin lee & linzi hateley) were a highlight of the show! they were hilarious. it helped that the italian audience didn't laugh at inappropriate times (when madame is verbally abusing little cosette, for example) like the english-speaking audiences usually do for... some reason i guess. we all laughed at their funny antics and ad-libs - like, when he said "i should have married her sister" and madame replied "i wish you had" lmao.

but the real star of the show (besides the leading man and javert, of course) was nathania ong's éponine. such a pure timbre, vaguely reminiscent of frances ruffelle, and sheer power - i wasn't the only one to think she was mind-blowingly good: my dad (and considering the audience's reaction to her on my own, probably everyone else too) thought the same. she also had a childish quality to her acting that i found very interesting. you could see her éponine was only a young girl, after all.

it was a staged concert so there's not much to say about the scenography, but imo they compensated for the absence of the barricade with... some kind of huge barricade-looking contraption, red-colored and illuminated, that came down from the ceiling during the second act. it was really cool to see, tho i imagine not as much as the real deal from the staged show.

the cast added some new, interesting touches and details here and there that would delight every long-time fan. the first that comes to mind are little gavroche hugging grantaire in drink with me, after the latter's pessimistic outburst. in the epilogue - for the joy of my fellow enjonine fans - i noticed enjolras and éponine standing side by side, stroking each other's arm in a really cute, friendly but surprisingly ic (at least for musical-verse!e&e) gesture. that melt my heart ngl

as it was expected, i cried and sobbed like a baby throughout all the epilogue scene, as per usual lmao. it was a miracle my painstakingly applied make-up didn't melt all over my face and turn me into a scary clown lol

tl;dr: it was really good! unfortunately for personal reasons i was a bit distracted during the show (i had some kind of minor relapse... nothing worrying, it was more annoying than anything else) but in the end it was worth the whole trip. if you want to ask me for more details you can also dm me, don't worry!! ❤️

Random silly headcanons about what the casting would be for a 1980s or 1990s version of “Hazbin Hotel” (This version probably comes out some time between 1987 and 1994, most likely in either 1989 or 1991 and most likely on 28 July 1989 at that, to be quite honest).

This post only has the “official” recordings of Carrie. There will be a separate post with all the Broadway bootleg recordings we have.

THE MASTERCUT

The best Carrie video for viewing purposes. Edited by Erik Champney, it puts the best of the Broadway and Stratford versions together. It’s what made me fall in love with the original Carrie in the first place.

Linzi Hateley & Darlene Love

Carrie 1988

[usernoneexistent]

I'll go first then. I got some very interesting songs and new artists I've never heard of

Legacy Kids

Glenn Song by Bob Seyer - far too sentimental for Glenn. Definitely not his vibe.

Winona Ryder by Picture This - Actually suits Winona well XD

Colin by Lime Cordiale - The chill vibes is aligning with Colin.

Euphemia by Area 11 - An anime song that is not at all Euphemia. She hates it.

Delilah by Florence + The machine - My inner flo fan is coming out and I may be bias but it works with Delilah.

Mauarauders/HM/Golden Trio

Jacob And Sons/Joseph's coat by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Linzi Hateley - A musical song about Joseph from the bible lol.

Juniper by Myrkur - the moodiness works well with her dark/flea bag era.

Marwa Blues by George Harrison - I could see this song playing as background for a scene.

Magic Awakened Kids

Duncan by Paul Simon - It weirdly works despite Duncan's naturally chaotic energy. It's like the chill version of him.

Tarragon by Autumn Fruit - too funky for Tarra XD

Zola by #LC Gwoppa - The energy matches her 100%

The Son of Flynn by Daft Punk - A song for the Tron movie and I mixed feelings

A fun minigame for everyone but go on to Spotify, YouTube, iTunes, whatever you use to listen to music and type in your character's name and find the first song that includes their name in the song title and does it suit your character?

what do I have to do to get audio of Linzi Hateley in the 2021 production of Joseph? I need it for science.

(Barbara Cook and Linzi Hately)

(Betty Buckley and Linzi Hately)

The original Stratford and Broadway run had it's issues with pacing and tone, but it nailed it's scenes with Margaret and Carrie. When Betty Buckley took over for Barbara Cook she really brought the intensity that this song needed and it heightened Linzi Hateley's performance as well.

we need to talk about how Eve Was Weak from the musical Carrie is one of the most intense and uncomfortable musical numbers to be put on stage.
