Out For Blood by Chris Adams
Featuring contributions from over 80 original cast members, creatives, crew and audience members, this book pieces together the surprising, hilarious and moving inside story of Carrie The Musical.
If a book could catapult you into a rehearsal room from your own home, then Out for Blood would have you watching in the front row … A real page-turner, just like the King original … Adams’s comprehensive text is both approachable and teeming with information* Musicals Magazine *
The Broadway production of CARRIE has long been the poster child of notorious flop Broadway musicals. In this fascinating tome author Chris Adams handily reveals the whole grizzly story of how a show that had the promise and pedigree to so much right went so terribly wrong. * Stephen Purdy, author of 'Flop Musicals of the Twenty-First Century' *
A fascinating book about an extraordinary show I’m proud to have been part of. So many memories both good and bad…the story of Carrie lives on * Linzi Hateley, original Carrie on Stratford and Broadway *
As someone who is in his third decade of Carrie obsession, I can say, without any hyperbole, that this is the book I’ve been waiting for my entire life. Chris’s writing is honest, surprising, insightful, heartbreaking, and heartfelt and Out For Blood provides us (finally!) with the definitive account of the creation and legacy of this infamously misunderstood musical. The book is a love-letter to misfit theater, the fearless artists who create it, and the passionate weirdos who care about it. There’s never been a theatre book like her. * Joe Iconis, composer, lyricist, and playwright *
My bucket overfloweth - Chris Adams has created an un-put-downable deep dive into the creation, reception and subsequent re-evaluation of one of the most infamous Broadway legends of all time. * Christopher Oram, two-time Tony Award-winning designer *
