REVIEW: Carrie, Southwark Playhouse ✭✭✭✭✭

What is most admirable about Gary Lloyd's directorial vision here is that no attempt is made to recreate the film, the book or even the way this musical has been produced before. He does not seek to make a musical horror story - rather, he makes a dramatic musical which has horrific elements. Kim Criswell is magnificent as Carrie's mother. Her voice is in remarkable form and she sings the difficult score with bravura ease. Of course, the show has no hope without a tremendous Carrie and in Evelyn Hoskins, Lloyd has a true star. Hoskins is perfect.
