"Why would you give La Mirada the benefit...Floyd Collins had a different director."

True enough; I was mostly responding to AnyaS, who says she feels like she's talking to herself when giving props to La Mirada. I thought it was only fair to let her know that someone else was both listening, and in agreement that management seems to be doing some things right.

But I will say that the putative "Carrie" director, Brady Schwind, did a damn good job with "Parade" at a little theater in Palos Verdes Estates six years ago. A subsequent try at "Our Leading Lady" was much less fortunate, but "Parade" suggested he's not a hack, so that makes me hopeful.

Finally found it since people apparently have very short memories. Yes, this very same, this exact same "immersive production" with this same exact team, was announced last year in March of 2013 for the Hayworth Theater. It never opened.

I can't wait for it to open here - I can basically write the reviews now if you get my meaning. :)

I'm not trying to be a smartass, but why does it bother you so much that it's the same production that got canceled at Hayworth? Why all the glee? What am I missing here?

Glee? I neither watch the show and I don't really see evidence of any glee in this thread. I find it amusing that everyone is acting like a) Carrie is "now-classic" (it isn't) and b) that no one is mentioning that this is the same exact thing that didn't happen last year - why would you hide that information? It's peculiar to me.

Thanks, RobbGrn. I heard great stuff about that production of Parade but didn't realize that Schwind did that too. Good to know. And yes, they're doing a great job.
