Carrie the Musical (Behind the Scenes) Cypress College Theatre Arts

Watch I have magical powers Hello bloggineers. We're at the Cypress College Theater And we're gonna give you a behind-the-scenes look at Carrie the musical adapted from Stephen King's 1974 horror novel this musical focuses on an awkward teenage girl with telekinesis power Right now they're doing a run-through of act two. It looks like they're doing PE They're gonna do one more rehearsal and then we're gonna go backstage to look at some props We didn't get on camera, but we just saw the chair move by itself It's because in this show Carrie has telekinesis powers. So hopefully we get to see it again and film it Tommy Ross and Carrie Wai They just rehearsed the prom scene which is where everyone tricks Carrie into becoming prom queen so that they could pour pigs blood onto Her and in the actual show there probably will be red liquid or something but right now they're just rehearsing so they just fake poured it and then Carrie gets mad and Basically forces everyone onto the ground with her telekinesis power We're going on a backstage tour Backstage tour These are our bleachers Where we have very fun things going on We have dancing and we have singing And we have What else do we do on these bleachers? We have class on the bleachers People can doodle on the bleachers It's a good time This is our lovely set So when you pour the blood is that like it's good just gonna be red liquid It's supposed to be like red liquid in a bucket and they're gonna pull a string and it's all gonna fall down and it's gonna be awesome It's gonna be I believe a mix of corn syrup, coloring, and cocoa powder So it's edible too Is it not gonna ruin whatever you're wearing? That's actually been like a topic of discussion I think that adding detergent actually makes it washable and they've also I think been coordinating with the outfits So like like darker colors so things don't stain as easily Yeah they've been like doing different tests of like mixes of the blood to see what wouldn't stain Yeah that's been really cool Yes and someone's gonna be on wash duty every night These are the insides of the set So down this way we have the prom stage It's nothing too fancy yet The little stage that they pull out for when Carrie This is what Carrie's gonna be on when she gets blood like thrown all over her so that'll be cool Hopefully it doesn't stain it Carrie's gonna be a live band When we came here for Beauty and the Beast they were just playing the soundtrack So I guess this is better and they don't have an orchestra pit but they can do it backstage It still works We're going up A lot of Sue's interrogation stuff happens up here And some dancing happens up here too These lights are gonna We're working on having them be lowered so that we can be electrocuted Oh That's cool We're on the upstairs balcony where they do a number of scenes including some dances And this is also where the blood is poured down Margaret which is Carrie's mom is going to be It's gonna show that she's being like levitated in the show and this is how they're going to do that And every time we're ever conceptualizing how the sets can look for a show Our set designers will go ahead and do a mock-up And from this they'll go ahead and figure out all the pieces they need to do The exact measurements of all the lumber they need to cut out And they make all the stuff that you see there on stage We're gonna go see the costumes for this show I remember this room So this is the dressing room Costumes here This is the men's side And yeah we have couple Carries So the movie Carrie was set in the 70s And these costumes that they use are from the 2012 to 2015 era Here is one of Carrie's dresses They're still testing to see if the blood can wash off Because if not then they might just have to keep getting new dresses But hopefully they can find a way to reuse it There's a lot of cool props in here A lot of the clothing items that we use are reused for lots of different shows So some of these props may have been used in shows like five years ago Probably even longer than that Watch I have magical powers That was so good! And that is behind the scenes at Carrie the musical I really like how they showed us some of the magic behind the scenes And how everything worked What's cool about this is there's a lot of tricks involved in the play That they need to figure out Like the flying book And also we saw the device that's going to lift up the mother later Which I'm excited to see in the actual musical Be sure to check this out at Cypress College On Friday to Sunday of the first two weekends of October See you in the next video, bye!
