Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been paying attention all along. I realize you’re in an original ALW production etc… but during his speech it actually hit me: *Carrie. Hope. Fletcher.* Is. *Originating.* A. Role. In. An. *Andrew. Lloyd. Webber.* Musical! !!!!!! Like…. WHAT?!?! OH MY GOODNESS! CONGRATS, CARRIE! How are you still SANE?! 🤯🥰🤩
I saw the show on opening night and the entire show blew me away, the staging, the costumes, the songs. To whoever going to see it next your in for a treat. Good luck with the rest of the show and can’t wait to see it again
I was genuinely tearing up at the speeches at the end. Theatre has been so royally messed around and critiqued during this pandemic and I cannot express the sheer joy I have that theatres are opening again! Break a leg for the rest of the shows Carrie! I’m hoping to buy tickets to see this before I go back to school in September! ❤️
I was lucky enough to be there opening night and still cannot get over how utterly amazing the show was. Already planning a second trip. You and the whole cast were incredible!
There's nothing like those first notes of the overture hitting as you wait in the theater for a show to start! I'm so it's just as thrilling backstage! Congrats on opening!!!
I was there the opening night !! I cried during the opening speeches and then when you sang “I know I have a heart”. ( that song hits differently when you’ve been through a breakup ) It was so magical and I was thankful that I could attend . Thank you so much to all the cast and crew for putting on this show despite the difficult circumstances !! Whenever I leave a musical , i feel like dreams have no limits and this musical was no exception to that feeling !!
It makes my little gothy heart happy seeing a darker version of a princess! I must say Carrie your eye makeup and lipstick is gorgeous (I may actually try giving cinder's makeup look a go as a casual goth look!) The trick with any dark eye makeup is the more the better and the messier the better! Xxx ♡
Goodness. The speeches have me crying. I can't imagine the liberation of FINALLY being free to perform after such an INSANE time in this world. Welcome home, Carrie! The stage has missed you so!
Watching Carrie’s videos and career throughout the last couple of years has really made me want to work in the theatre world. But I have no talent to be on stage acting and singing, and because I’ve been to Uni I don’t qualify for any apprenticeships for backstage jobs 🙃🙃 So I will live vicariously through Carrie! 😂
Not sure what’s available in your area of course, but community theater is ALWAYS looking for volunteers!! Especially if you want to help with stage crew. Look into it, you might love it!!
Is it normal that I literally teared up seeing this? I can't wait to see the show soon congrats to you Carrie at last PS: I might have some pieces of fabric extremely similar to your costume. I'm tempted to recreate it aaaahhh
How do you politely say you're incredibly envious of someone? Hahaha Carrie, you're such an inspiration! I remember watching your videos as we were both teens and checking in on you now is such a trip. You've grown so much and yet you have that same sweet, grounding presence. Wishing you the best on this new endeavor!!
THEATRE IS BACK! It's so weird saying I miss something I've never even experienced -- I discovered musical theatre right before lockdown and I've never seen a show but just that Act 1 beginners call gave me literal chills. Theatre is home for so many people. Sending so much love
Having been there on opening night, it’s really cool to see some of what was happening behind the scenes! You all did so wonderfully and can be really proud of yourselves for putting on a fantastic show 💛
I can't wait to come and see this show!! It must feel amazing to finally be putting it on in front of an audience. You look absolutely stunning in your costume! Also that IKIHAH shirt is adorable and I need it!
It feels so surreal but so pleased we’re back! Thanks so much!!! (And I also need that shirt! Gonna have to sneak front of house and get me some merch!)
Was not expecting to tear up when the overture started but OH MAN! I'm so excited for you and the entire cast and crew, it's such a long time coming! You'll remember this opening night and this journey with this show forever.
So proud of you Mrs Fletcher I mean come on you have been given the gift of Cinderella from ALW So many wish we could come from Overseas all the best as you begin your climb to the stratosphere I know you will stay your lovely genuine self Godbless you
I went to London on the Friday and came back the Monday and the firstborn place we went was the outside of this theatre and I cried in the street of pure joy 💜
10th July can't come quick enough .. got bit emotional then as well at the end when music started.. gunna be the best birthday I've had when I come . Your a star and deserve all happiness and love 🌟❤theatre is BACK ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Came and Watched the show last night and it was INCREDIBLE! Everyone was stunning. The staging was one of a kind and just magical. The solos were breathtaking and so emotional. Easily the best performance I have ever been too. Carrie you were utterly incredible!! ❤️❤️
back in april i did anastasia at my high school. it was my first live performance in a year. the entire night was so surreal, hearing the clapping and laughing of the audience. it really got me emotional. live theatre is truly a gift. i so wish i could come to the uk to see cinderella! break a leg carrie! i’ve been watching you for almost 3 years and you bring me so much joy!!
I can’t wait to see this next month. I saw Hairspray on Friday night and I cried because of being back in a theatre again. I can’t imagine the applause you got on your opening night but I’m sure you all deserved it 🥰
Cameo early squad! I can’t wait to eventually see Cinders in August (hopefully then things will be back to some slight sort of normality!) It all gets so real on opening night, doesn’t it? The show looks amazing, you’ve all worked so hard - congratulations on opening at long last!! 💞
you look amazing with dark hair I've missed these kinds of videos I love musical theatre so the fact that it was forgotten about during the pandemic breakes my heart I'm so glad it's back & hopefully it stays back
I am so excited as I am coming to see the show tomorrow 21st August 2021 after many changes. I have the music on cd and I LOVE the show already. I am a HUGE fan of ALW and of you Carrie, I watched you in Addams Family in Woking and I think you are absolutely amazing x
I went to see this on Saturday night and I can honestly say it is one of the best musicals I think I have ever seen. It is absolutely amazing and you were fantastic
I was lucky enough to see Cinderella and I just wanted to say how amazing it was! It was so lovely to be back in the west end but Carrie was absolutely incredible (as was everyone else!). Go see it if you can!
Couldn't wait to get my headphones in and watch this. So excited and thrilled for you, Carrie and all those involved. It has been a long journey, but all good things come to those who wait!
She’s back, she’s on stage-she looks fan-blooming-tastic! 🥁 Goooo Carrie. Xx All the above in my head said as a cheer leader 🤣🤣 ending in a high kick! Xx
You are simply amazing. You inspire me daily to never give up on my dreams. You truly are the belle of the ball and I just love you! Thank you for sharing this cute video! You made me cry just a little. You are lovely 🥰
I can't wait to come and see the show. All of the theatres, the cast, producers, writers and the works are truly inspiring bringing joy to the people in such crappy times! #savethetheatre
To be away from home on the other side of the world, where Thailand is struggling with its third wave. That overture and seeing you in character made me cry happy tears. I'm so happy that this is going ahead, and you're already iconic Carrie. This just cements how more iconic you are. Break a leg!
Omg!! All the feels!!! Sadly my tickets for April were cancelled, so I'm going to have to wait a bit longer, but I can't wait!! Break a leg to you all, I know the show will be awesome! Enjoy being back where you belong! xxx
I was at opening night preview and left crying happy tears xx now I’m watching this and it gets to the end and I hear the overture ... and now I’m crying again Xxx I can’t wait to come back and see you all many more times xx may even do a double show day if I’m that crazy.
So excited to come in August for our Daughters Birthday, we keep getting our tkts changed, but so far (thankfully) they have changed them back. Can’t wait for the cast Album too. Break a Leg for your whole run Carrie.
I can’t get over Cinderella last night. Even after listening to the songs countless times, I wasn’t ready to hear them live. Sounded completely different to the recordings you took my breath away. I was emotional mess by the end 🥲
Just hearing the opening track at the end of the musical made me tear up. So happy that you're finally back on the stage! Wish I could come watch but sending you best wishes from Australia!
AHHH!!! Saw the 3rd preview show on Saturday and honestly I'm floored by the performance! Every single one of the cast members looks so thrilled to be onstage!! 😆
Carrie, You're living my childhood dream, so jealous yet, so happy for you. Enjoy every moment and when I get back for another visit to the UK I hope to see you perform once again in this role made for you. Was blessed to see you in my two favourite musicals a few years back: War of the Worlds as it ended in Brighton and just after in Les Miserables in London. I hope you feel the love from here in my little peace of happiness in France xx
It felt so good to see you doing the classic thing during warm up when you lean over to someone close by with your selfie cam and you both sing scales or something into the camera ^-^ theatre is coming back slowly but surely!
In my home town we call our opening night presents Chookas presents. We also say Chookas instead of good luck or break a leg! I thought this was an Australian thing, but then recently did a show where I now live (still in Australia) and no one knew what I was on about.
Your costume is amazing! I got goosebumps and chills all over my body when I heard the first notes played by the orchestra, wow how I've missed theatre.. Break a leg Carrie and everyone in the cast and crew! 🎉😍
Carrie, huge well done to you! You’re a star! I haven’t seen the show, I’m booked to see it later in July. I’m so proud of you and how far you’ve come. Congratulations! 👏🏼❤️
I’m seeing it on Saturday 4th September and I actually cannot breathe I’m so excited I’m praying that you’ll be there for the evening performance because I’m in love with you and your voice

oh dammmmmn. Was not expecting Cinderella to give me wednesday addams vibes
Same haha I love it - It's amazing how much changing light or dark hair can change how a person looks!
She's been hinting towards it for awhile, but I was not prepared.
I saw the show on opening night and the entire show blew me away, the staging, the costumes, the songs. To whoever going to see it next your in for a treat. Good luck with the rest of the show and can’t wait to see it again

I got chills when he said “welcome back” and the music started!
I was lucky enough to be there opening night and still cannot get over how utterly amazing the show was. Already planning a second trip. You and the whole cast were incredible!
Could you tell us more of what the story was like?
Wow! That would have been amazing! Little bit jealous!
Would you say it was ok for a 7year old to watch?
Was it previews
@@coraliecrespel5658 yes it was previews
What a lovely and heartwarming video 💕 definitely made me tear up at the end - I can’t wait to see the musical!
There's nothing like those first notes of the overture hitting as you wait in the theater for a show to start! I'm so it's just as thrilling backstage! Congrats on opening!!!

I literally want to go to London just to see this & Six 20 times each
I saw the show last night and omg the happy tears I cried throughout the whole show 🥺
we have been waiting for this for what feels like forever
the chills that came across my body when the crowd was clapping at the beginning of his speech omg
Goodness. The speeches have me crying. I can't imagine the liberation of FINALLY being free to perform after such an INSANE time in this world. Welcome home, Carrie! The stage has missed you so!
Why am I already crying… I’m so glad this show exists in the world💙
How did you not burst into tears when the speeches were happening?!?
Watching Carrie’s videos and career throughout the last couple of years has really made me want to work in the theatre world. But I have no talent to be on stage acting and singing, and because I’ve been to Uni I don’t qualify for any apprenticeships for backstage jobs 🙃🙃
So I will live vicariously through Carrie! 😂
Not sure what’s available in your area of course, but community theater is ALWAYS looking for volunteers!! Especially if you want to help with stage crew. Look into it, you might love it!!
I literally cried hearing ALW's speech. Im so so happy for you Carrie. You are an amazing talent. Thank you for being you.
Is it normal that I literally teared up seeing this? I can't wait to see the show soon congrats to you Carrie at last
PS: I might have some pieces of fabric extremely similar to your costume. I'm tempted to recreate it aaaahhh
How do you politely say you're incredibly envious of someone? Hahaha Carrie, you're such an inspiration! I remember watching your videos as we were both teens and checking in on you now is such a trip. You've grown so much and yet you have that same sweet, grounding presence. Wishing you the best on this new endeavor!!
cinderella is so emo in this version and I'm here for it
The opening music played at the end sounds soooo good!!
That overture…I’m crying already. Lord help me when I see the show in august.
THEATRE IS BACK! It's so weird saying I miss something I've never even experienced -- I discovered musical theatre right before lockdown and I've never seen a show but just that Act 1 beginners call gave me literal chills. Theatre is home for so many people. Sending so much love
As a theatre stage crew member this make me so so so happy
Having been there on opening night, it’s really cool to see some of what was happening behind the scenes! You all did so wonderfully and can be really proud of yourselves for putting on a fantastic show 💛

Thank you for sharing the speeches, for those of us theatre lot who can't get to London yet... this meant the world xxx
I can’t get over Cinderella last night. Even after listening to the songs countless times, I wasn’t ready to hear them live. Sounded completely different to the recordings you took my breath away. I was emotional mess by the end 🥲
Oh man, i started crying just listening to this. I'm going to be a mess when I finally get to be in a theater again
Your whole look is amazing. No more words needed.

That was beautiful! I was not expecting to tear up when the overture started. Beautiful!
Speeches and ending this vlog brought tears to my eyes.i hope it goes on tour next year
I got quite emotional hearing the audience cheering over th tannoy and ALW's speech. I can't wait to come and see the show!
Carrie, huge well done to you! You’re a star! I haven’t seen the show, I’m booked to see it later in July. I’m so proud of you and how far you’ve come. Congratulations! 👏🏼❤️
What I would have given to be in the audience that night! Can't wait for the soundtrack to be completely released, and congrats on everything Carrie!!
