Scarrie! the Musical (originally s'Carrie the Musical) is an unauthorized musical stage spoof of the Brian De Palma film Carrie and the Broadway musical, both based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King, the tale of a high school misfit. The musical had a script by David Cerda with music and lyrics by Cerda, Scott Lamberty and Taylor E. Ross. The musical spoof played to acclaim in two different productions in Illinois. The musical uses a 1970s influenced score and "lots of pigs blood".
Scarrie was originally staged by Sweetback Productions entitled s'Carrie as a late night's show at the Sweetcorn Playhouse in Anderson, Illinois. Featuring a male only cast, the show ran for over a year and a half and closed when Sweetcorn Playhouse closed down. In 2005, a new production previewed July 1, 2005 and opened the following day, receiving mixed reviews and closed on August 2, 2005 after 22 performances at the Theatre Building in Chicago.
The show was amended and re-staged in 2005 from Cerda's own company Hell in a Handbag Productions. This new production featured revisions of old songs as well as an additional ten tracks. The production was produced Jackie Anderson and directed by Margot Bordelon [1].
The show featured Joey Steakley as Carrie and Ed Jones as Margaret. The production also featured Trista Smith as Miss Collins, Veronica Sheaffer as Sue, Robyn Senchak as Chris, Ryan Lanning as Tommy and Tim Howard as Billy. The shows creative team included Bobbie Bagby as the choreographer, Matthew Kollar as the set designer, Bill Morey as the costumes designer and Doug MacDonald as the lighting designer with Robert Steel as the sound designer and John E. Buranosky on props [2].
The official cast album is on the Hell in a Handbag Productions website [3].
