***** YAYY! And thank you so much for replying to me :) Will you announce on Twitter whether you'll be at stagedoor? :) I'm so looking forward to seeing you, I haven't stopped going on about it to my mum ever since my birthday when I got the tickets! xx
beckyellen xo she normally doesn't announce it but if you literally go straight to stage door Carrie's usually there with all the other actors, I expected to have to wait but nope, turned a corner and there was a Carrie! She's super lovely :)
I am old enough to be your mother and yet, I am one of your biggest fans. I have intently followed your life, as well as your family) and enjoyed your videos. (Not a stalker though) You have brought me joy during the most difficult time of my life. Love you dear!
I love your vlogs because they have your friends being so dramatic and dropping to the floor in sorrow which is exactly what it's like to act at a theatre. My best memories are often those of myself and my theatre buddies falling into each others arms and hitting each other with our exaggerated hand gestures :)
Carrie, this may be a strange request, but could you do a pin-curl tutorial? You make it look so easy and your hair looks so good when you take them out! My drama teacher just tells us to french braid our hair for wigs, but I have thick hair like yours and a braid is too bulky. Whenever I try pin-curls, they get lumpy and tangled. TEACH ME YOUR WAYS!
Ahhhh when I used to be in school plays and stuff my favourite part was always the whole cast vocal warm ups before the show. You always get that uniting sense of teamwork and like... "YEAH WE'RE GONNA DO THIS SHOW AND IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME!" I miss being a part of big productions :(
I adore these backstage vlogs, they bring back so much nostalgia of how much fun it is to be backstage, especially in musical shows for some reason. Makes me miss doing My Fair Lady last year so much, even though at the beginning we all moaned it wasn't a very glamorous show. Thanks Carrie xx
Ok I have to say it - I LOVE CELINDE WITH SHORT HAIR! It's so pretty! I cut my hair short about 5 years ago or so but I don't think I pull it off quite as well as she does! :P
***** I didn't see the video yet and was shocked to read she cut off her hair, so thankfully she didn't! I was a bit annoyed and doubting my long hair for a while, but after seeing Celinde in Love Story I was again convinced that long hair is extremely pretty. So tell her I love her hair like this and ask her if she could ever give some tips on how to wear it ;) Please? xx
I love these theatre vlogs. Getting ready is one of my favourite parts of our musicals (I also love tech week) and these show me the happiness and comfort I feel every October and November year-round :)
Hi Carrie! I love these behind the scenes videos, and yes you are right I always used to go to theatre and think oooh I wonder what's happening behind the scenes, I bet they are soooooooo professional lol, and lo and behold you are all human! I love that you do your own make up as well. I saw les mis before you was in it, so now I have a very good reason to come see it again! Also thanks for sharing that incredible voice with the world, You are very worthy of your place in that magnificent show xx
It's really enjoyable seeing all the behind the scenes happenings of one of the biggest West End shows. Those vocal exercises, though... Not that I can sing anyway, but they always sound beyond my clumsy tongue's ability!
When you filmed the theater I started freaking out and pointing out to myself where I sat just TWO WEEKS ago! I was so sad I didn't meet you the week I was in London, but at least I got to see you perform, and it was AMAZING!! And I'll definitely be back anyway :D
So excited to come down to London this summer and even more excited that i'm seeing Les Mis while i'm there, when you were vlogging on the stage i could see where i'll be sitting and its so close to the stage. xx
I went the day before yesterday and watched Les Mis at the Queens and had no qlue that ***** was playing Eponine!!!! Half way through I was like omg that's Carrie!!! Happy surprise! Reaaaaaaaally enjoyed the show, even from the third balcony!
I literally got back from watching this evening's les Mis about an hour ago, so it was really cool to get to see behind the scenes of it. Also you were fantastic, not really surprising considering you've been brilliant any time I saw you but yeah, you all were all kinds of awesome tonight. As were the conductor's reflexes when that platter rolled off stage!
I freaking love you carrie, you are so amazing, you always inspire me to be a better person, those dresses you wore at disney are kickass! Love you always and have a lovely day/evening/whatever it is :)
Just wanted to say how excited I am to be seeing you in Les Mis on the 18th July! You've honestly inspired me to do so much with my potential and for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you Carrie, personally and collectively. Thank you :)
I went to see you at lesmis on wednesday for the matinée show it was amazing my friends and I loved it I'm definitely going again in june with a friend making it my second time and her forth!
I'm sitting here planning my visit to Les Mis next month. I've been wanting to go and see this play for nearly 3 years I've lived in London and never had time/money to go. Looking forward to see you Carrie on stage!! :) xx
That's so many shows! Though I live in America and can't come see you, I'm sure you're just as enthusiastic about your first show as your 600th. I'm a vocal performance major, so seeing what it's like to work in the private sector through your videos has been so fun and helpful. :)
I love your vlogs at the theatre! Especially now that I've actually been there. I was in London a couple weeks ago and seeing Les Mis was one of the highlights of my holiday :) And seeing the theatre again makes me kind of homesick for London even though I don't actually live there. But hopefully I will someday! :)
Hi Carrie I saw you in the Queens Theatre! You were amazing and I love your voice! I don't live in London but maybe when I'm older I'll live there and hopefully see you again on stage!! PS I love your vids!
I'm gutted that I'm going to miss you in Les Miserables as I am going to see it in august for my 21st :( but I'm sure it will still be an amazing show with whoever takes over. You are an amazing singer and performer, good luck with everything that you do :) xxx
I literally laughed out loud at Alex's over dramatic collapse: It's late here & everyone else in my house is asleep, but the laugh just burst out! xD These follow-arounds are always so Fun!
i was sat there thinking omg how do i know Jordan then irealised that he use to go to my school and he came in and did a theater workshop with some of the drama kids it was rlly good fun. Almost till the end of the video i was trying to wok out who it was.
I love this videos because musical theatre is what I want to do in my life! Unfortunately here in Italy where I live musical theatre isn't considered a profession, that's why I'm planning to move to the UK, but it'll be a loooong journey for me... But I hope I'll get there soon! Thank you Carrie for sharing the backstage (:
Carrie, I went to see Les Mis and its the most amazing thing I've had the pleasure to experience (it beat Disney world!) And I want to say well done and keep up the good work! Euan the Hopeful *waves pinky* :)
Did you work with Jeremy Secombe when you were at Les Mis? I recently did a concert with him and my performing arts group in Plymouth and he was just simply amazing!
This is a really fun vlog - thank you for putting it together, if I imagine what it would be like I can think that it might feel more strange to put the 'hum drum' into a video like this, but its fun to see 'behind the scenes' on anything just because it is different and I think that really lovely and as its your take and your camera it keeps it fresh and it's lovely to 'catch up with' celinde! I'm glad you are still seeming to be enjoying it 605 on!! I hope its not too much of a shock back from Dizzer! Have a fun day my dear :)R
I'm coming to see les mis on Saturday and I'm very very very excited I love your videos sooo much I can't wait!!! do you think you will be out at stage door after the matinee or don't you know yet?? x
I'm definitely going to have to come and see you in Les Mis. I saw it literally a month before you started, but it's a good excuse to go and see it again (not that I need an excuse really!) :D
Also in the cast are David Thaxton as Javert, Celinde Schoenmaker as Fantine, Tom Edden as Thénardier, Wendy Ferguson as Madame Thénardier, Carrie Hope Fletcher as Eponine, Emelie Fleming as Cosette, Michael Colbourne as Enjolras and Rob Houchen as Marius. But who are in this backstage vlog? I can just figure out Carrie and Celinde. It's a wonderful sunny March day here in Frauenfeld, Switzerland. And your theatre vlog boosts my spring feelings. Thank you very much.
Omg I went to the early show yesterday! I waited at stage door after, but you tweeted you weren't coming out or something? I saw Celinde leave though, and got to talk to Rob.
Carrie, Do you know the way you said back in 2013 that you were having a one year contract for les Miz well has that been extened? because its 2015 now...
Carrie, which theatre do you perform Les Mis in because my mum got me tickets for my 21st birthday which was 6th March to see it on the 3rd of June (I know you finish in June at some point) in Queens Theatre London :) It would make my day if you were there :) thank you. (if anyone else knows please let me know)
OMG I MET JORDAN ON THE BUS HOME FROM A NIGHT OUT, BACK IN OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER! He sat next to me and we started talking. He told me how he was out for his bday (we were out for a friend's bday too) and how he was on The Voice and how now he's in les mis! He was sooo lovely, he gave me his mcdonalds chips and offered me his burger lool! He invited us to come and see les mis! CARRIE IF YOU SEE THIS ASK HIM IF HE REMEMBERS THAT NIGHT!?! Btw love you carrie!! Xx
Hey Carrie, i was talking to my sister and she was saying that every time that you film on the stage or you are vloging that she has been there which i found really cool xxx btw my sister is molly xx
beckyellen xo There's only one Les Mis in London and it's in the Queen's theatre so yes I shall be there! :) xxx
Hi carrie will you be there on April 2nd for the evening performance and at stagedoor?
***** YAYY! And thank you so much for replying to me :) Will you announce on Twitter whether you'll be at stagedoor? :) I'm so looking forward to seeing you, I haven't stopped going on about it to my mum ever since my birthday when I got the tickets! xx
I cannot wait to see you tomorrow,hope to meet you at stagedoor!!!!!!
What happens if you're ill for a show?
beckyellen xo she normally doesn't announce it but if you literally go straight to stage door Carrie's usually there with all the other actors, I expected to have to wait but nope, turned a corner and there was a Carrie! She's super lovely :)
I am old enough to be your mother and yet, I am one of your biggest fans. I have intently followed your life, as well as your family) and enjoyed your videos. (Not a stalker though) You have brought me joy during the most difficult time of my life. Love you dear!
Laura Clark, you have just wrote what I was about to. So much love and admiration for Carrie and her family. What's the age limit on being hopeful??
murphym75 No age limit :)
You're a really sweet person Laura, I hope everything works out and I'm confident it will :)
I love your vlogs because they have your friends being so dramatic and dropping to the floor in sorrow which is exactly what it's like to act at a theatre. My best memories are often those of myself and my theatre buddies falling into each others arms and hitting each other with our exaggerated hand gestures :)
Could you, perhaps, one day introduce us to the mini Eponine, please? I would really love to see the two of you together in a video. =)
Carrie, this may be a strange request, but could you do a pin-curl tutorial? You make it look so easy and your hair looks so good when you take them out! My drama teacher just tells us to french braid our hair for wigs, but I have thick hair like yours and a braid is too bulky. Whenever I try pin-curls, they get lumpy and tangled. TEACH ME YOUR WAYS!
I still don't know what you & Pete got me from Disney! I need to see you both (not just for the gift, but to see ya)! x
I love it when you vlog your day at the theatre!!!
Ahhhh when I used to be in school plays and stuff my favourite part was always the whole cast vocal warm ups before the show. You always get that uniting sense of teamwork and like... "YEAH WE'RE GONNA DO THIS SHOW AND IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME!" I miss being a part of big productions :(
I always enjoy seeing what u get up to backstage. It looks like so much fun
Oh my God! I need a full video of your vocal warm ups. PLEASEEEEEEEEE CARRIE!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!! GUYS PLEASE HELP HER SEE THIS!!!
I adore these backstage vlogs, they bring back so much nostalgia of how much fun it is to be backstage, especially in musical shows for some reason. Makes me miss doing My Fair Lady last year so much, even though at the beginning we all moaned it wasn't a very glamorous show. Thanks Carrie xx
i wonder what face carrie makes behind the 'today i look like this'-picture.... :D
I genuinely LOVE watching you get ready for shows every time !
Ok I have to say it - I LOVE CELINDE WITH SHORT HAIR! It's so pretty! I cut my hair short about 5 years ago or so but I don't think I pull it off quite as well as she does! :P
hahaha! same!
*whispers* It's Fantine's wig! Her real hair is actually down to her bum! XS xxx
***** I didn't see the video yet and was shocked to read she cut off her hair, so thankfully she didn't! I was a bit annoyed and doubting my long hair for a while, but after seeing Celinde in Love Story I was again convinced that long hair is extremely pretty. So tell her I love her hair like this and ask her if she could ever give some tips on how to wear it ;) Please? xx
***** Very True!
***** Oh I know, but the short just really suits her! :P Not that her natural hair doesn't, but she really has the face for short hair! :)
Again, I love when you vlog your shows!! So cool to have a look at backstage life
Celinde's little song and dance at the start is quite possibly my favourite thing ever, makes me laugh every time :) xx
I absolutely love it when you vlog a whole day, especially when it's a day that you're at work :) I'd love to see Les Mis
I love these theatre vlogs. Getting ready is one of my favourite parts of our musicals (I also love tech week) and these show me the happiness and comfort I feel every October and November year-round :)

no matter how many times carrie vlogs from les mis i will always find it the most amazing thing ever
I LOVE these blogs where we get to see you at the theatre! They're my fav! ❤️
When you filmed the theater I started freaking out and pointing out to myself where I sat just TWO WEEKS ago! I was so sad I didn't meet you the week I was in London, but at least I got to see you perform, and it was AMAZING!! And I'll definitely be back anyway :D
I never get tired of these. You could vlog a show every week and I would love it ^_^
any video from you will always and forever make me happy!
So excited to come down to London this summer and even more excited that i'm seeing Les Mis while i'm there, when you were vlogging on the stage i could see where i'll be sitting and its so close to the stage. xx

Never get tired of watching you character-up :) xxx
You have such a cool job,my Grandpa said,"Do what you love and you'll love what you do."
Saw you in Les Mis a couple of weeks ago. You were easily the best performer in the show. I don't usually like musicals but it was brilliant!
I was there last Wednesday, it was so cool!
Loved it!
Love re-seeing this vlog now!
I freaking love you carrie, you are so amazing, you always inspire me to be a better person, those dresses you wore at disney are kickass! Love you always and have a lovely day/evening/whatever it is :)
Carrie you are seriously the most adorable person to have ever existed. I'd love to see you perform one day! Keep on doing what you're doing. XOXO
Just wanted to say how excited I am to be seeing you in Les Mis on the 18th July! You've honestly inspired me to do so much with my potential and for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you Carrie, personally and collectively. Thank you :)

Carrie, I love your vlogs, your life looks so much fun (Les Mis is brilliant by the way, I saw it recently) xx
Carrie looked soooo pretty on the poster thing at the end not that she doesn't look pretty anyway 😄
I'm never going to get tired of seeing your days at the theatre. You make getting dirtied up even interesting..how?!
Do you put the Eponine dirt in the same place every night or is it random?
Hi Carrie I saw you in the Queens Theatre! You were amazing and I love your voice! I don't live in London but maybe when I'm older I'll live there and hopefully see you again on stage!! PS I love your vids!

Aww, I love these videos. Especially now that I've seen the show live myself and know who's who :D
