Molly Ranson is playing Carrie in the new Broadway musical. Here are some of my favorite quotes from an interview she did with Associated Press' Mark Kennedy in an article titled, "Molly Ranson gets bloody in ‘Carrie’." (HERE)
Kennedy describes Ranson as a petite, polite New Yorker "with a disarming smile who is making her professional debut in a musical. One thing in her favor is something she shares with Carrie: Underestimate her at your peril." He also says that Ranson loved the movie Carrie, but had not seen the previous musical.
About the blood, Ranson says: "“It’ll look good. It’ll look real. . . It’s going to be done really beautifully and subtly — artistically, kind of abstract.”
About the original Carrie musical: “People should come to it with new eyes and ears and be open to a completely new experience. If they loved the original, I think they’ll love this, but they should know it’s not the original.”
She seems awfully pretty to be playing Carrie White.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't even thought of that! I guess they'll have to fromp her up.
