Bonus! 35 Years of Carrie


Chris and Holly are BACK for another packed Carrie the Musical catch-up!

They're joined in the studio by a very special new member of the gang, as well as Sadie Kempner and Ellie McWilliam from the recent London Bridewell Theatre production (which may well have been directed by one of your hosts...) and very special guest Rosemary Jackson (understudy Carrie White) from the original 1988 cast! Plus, Chris has a literary announcement!
