Riverdale cast and crew to embark on Carrie musical details below.



Now in its second season, the CW reinvention of Archie Comics/Hot Topic merchandising juggernaut is carefully building its own heightened reality, one that, with the Netflix companion series Chilling Adventures of Sabrinain the works, is slowly incorporating supernatural elements into its storylines. (What's with all the Lovecraft references of late, and will this show eventually morph into Afterlife with Archie? Here's hoping).

The greatest example to date of Riverdale embracing the paranormal will come on April 18th, in a special episode in which the Riverdale High Drama Department mounts a production of the infamous Broadway megaflop Carrie: The Musical.
Some context would be helpful at this point: After a prolonged pre-production period, writer Lawrence D. Cohen (a screenwriter who also adapted Stephen King's novel for the 1976 fantastic film adaptation of Carrie) teamed with songwriters Christopher Gore and Dean Pitchford (arguably best known for their work on Fame) to bring the story of the troubled telekinetic teen to the Great White Way. The show went about as well as Carrie's prom experience did. After a mere 16 previews and five performances, the show -- which cost over $7,000,000 to mount -- closed unceremoniously.
