Oh, I absolutely agree. If done tastefully, anything could make a great musical. But, after reading about the disasterous reviews Carrie got (and, keep in mind, I had to read about it because I was only 7 when the musical based on Carrie was released) due to the bad casting and poor direction, I worry that this project might have similar instances.

I think the other thing that ED (and Sweeny Todd) has over Carrie in its favor is the inherent humor and irreverence in the source material.

What about... instead of "Scary Movie", we have "Scary Musical", "Scary Musical 2" ... and so on !
