Shortlisted for the STR Theatre Book Prize 2024, Out For Blood is a captivating exploration of the remarkable journey of Carrie The Musical. Featuring contributions from over eighty original cast members, creatives, crew, and audience members, this book pieces together the surprising, hilarious, and often-moving inside story of this iconic Broadway musical. In 1988, following the success of its production of Les Misérables and in the wake of the commercial success of mega-musicals such as Cats, 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 theatre flops. However, thanks to the tireless 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 worldwide. Patching together memories, archive material, and contemporary reports, Out For Blood dives into the origins and development of this infamous show, examining 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. Based on the hit ten-part podcast, Out For Blood will delight theatregoers, flop aficionados, and "Friends of Carrie" alike.
