I saw Carrie as Fantine. My mum, who's a long-time superfan of Les Miserables, didn't think that anyone could sing 'I dreamed a dream' better than the original. Carrie Hope Fletcher, I kid you not, your spectacular performance made my mum cry from happiness. And I didn't see you as Veronica, so seeing you live with such an iconic song was what I was most excited about the whole day :-) Thank you for being so awesome! And good luck for your next show!
Carrie! I need to tell you immediately! 😱 You have inspired me so so much over the past few years, and now I've done it! 😭 I got into drama school! I'm making me dream come true, that has grown over the years by watching you - and in fact, meeting you (e.g. my Addams Family vlog!). Thanks for putting all this positivity out there, I know I wouldn't be where I am without you. And I'll be vlogging my entire drama school experience, in the hopes of inspiring someone too. xx 🎭✨
I used to work at a coffee shop and we would clean the milk steamers when they stopped working as well by steaming a cup of water with it, that might help yours. Also, great video!
This gives me so much nostalgia. I remember watching all your vlogs back when you played Eponine, among with Rob and Anton's christmas calendar. So lovely to see you back on the show! Can't wait to see you perform in October!
I was lucky enough to come and see the show last night. It was weird seeing Carrie not playing Eponine, but she made a fantastic Fantine too! The show was amazing, and I think the music from the concert is actually better than the full production. I guess as they have to concentrate less on staging they can focus more on the music. Also Carrie was so lovely at stage door, such a privilege to meet you yesterday ❤️
Tessi M there is less physical set and the staging is different to the full production. They’re all still in costume but most of the time they just sing in to microphones at the front of the stage although there are a few exceptions. There isn’t as much moving around either and the cast sit on the stage on tiered seated for most of the performance. Also the band is seating up above the stage in view of the audience which is interesting to watch too.
No one: Carrie: SO WHEN I WAS VERONICA I WAS ON STAGE FOR 100% OF THE SHOW SO 100% OF MY SHOW WAS 100% OF THE SHOW SO IF I SCREWED UP 28,34920% OF MY SHOW THEN I WOULD'VE SCREWED 28,34920% OF THE SHOW BUT WITH FANTINE IF I SCREW UP ONE LINE OF MY SHOW I WILL HAVE SCREWED UP 36,901202% OF THE SHOW
A. The unintended les mis pun at 9:48 is the best B. I'M FINALLY WATCHING BACKSTAGE VLOGS ON TIME!!!! I didn't properly discover you until after Heathers, so since you announced Fantine, I binged on Eponine, Truly, Wednesday and Veronica ❤️
OMG sweetie you are so hard on yourself... I am sure those little imperfections are never noticed by your audience ... but you also have an incredible work ethic ... that's why you inspire so many others. Coming to see your performance on 11th September with my girls (22 and 27) and my eldest daughter's fiancè , who are mad about you too ... you keep us all smiling and entertained daily. Keep doing what you do, we love it. Lots of Love xxx
Love the fact that Carrie gives the brilliant Worzel Gummidge a mention at 0:05 here and includes a lovely photo of Jon Pertwee as the much loved scarecrow. Funnily enough this year is the special 40th Anniversary of the Original TV Show which starred Jon Pertwee and Una Stubbs!
Can we take a moment to appreciate that Oliver calls Carrie Poomkin and that that is the single most adorable thing ever. Also, I love these vlogs, I am obsessed by behind the scenes and Carrie is such a wonderful person to make them, all the love
I’m just home from les mis and I must say u were amazing the whole thing was amazing u prob won’t read this but thank you and the rest of the crew for making it a lovely evening I will never ever forget !!!
Carrie is my absolute favourite Fantine. I just watched it with my mum and we both cried. Such a raw emotional power to her voice. Wish I’d seen it sooner. ❤
Saw you on Monday 19th and OH MY GOODNESS, you were incredible!!! I was crying throughout I Dreamed a Dream because your voice is so beautiful! Please keep inspiring people as you have inspired me so much ❤️
I’m so excited to see this because Fantine is my favorite character I’ve ever played and I got interested in musical theatre when I was was 12 by watching Carrie. I’m 18 now and in my senior year so it feels so satisfying to see my idol play my favorite character. Love you Carrie!
I've been following you for years, so I'm EXTRA excited that I'll get to see you as Fantine while I'm studying in London this fall! So happy for you!! :)
I watched the show on Saturday evening! It was honestly the most incredible thing I've ever seen on stage. Everyone was amazing, and the atmosphere in the audience (even at the far back!) was awesome. Thank you so much!
I worked on the film version of Les Mis and it will always have a special place in my heart but I have never seen the stage play. Kinda hoping you go back into the full version cast as I world love to see you perform some of those beautiful songs.
I absolutely love watching your videos Carrie, I'm so glad that you've continued to make such regular great content for all these years! You are fab xxx
I have been lucky enough to have seen Les Mis twice already, we only planed on going the one time on Saturday 17th, but were walking past the Gielgud as people were going into the theatre for the matinee on Tuesday 20th and my mum said "should we ask the box office if they have any tickets?" and just like that we were watching it again. You are absolutely flawless as Fantine! The entire cast is so perfect, the production is just incredible. xx
Carrie, I saw you in the Les Mis Concert this evening and...oh my goodness. I’m so disappointed I didn’t get to see you afterwards because I really wanted to thank you for such an incredible show. I was so moved, and brought to tears many many times, partly just in awe of it all. And your voice, it’s just so wonderfully beautiful and I think I will always remember that final scene as Fontine appeared to Jean Varjon, just like an angel. I couldn’t help but cry, you did it so so well, and though I’m sure you hear this all the time and must know it by now, I just had to say so too. But really, it is such an amazing show and I will remember it forever. I hope someday I can thank you in person. A lot of emotions took place this evening, and I am so grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I love seeing you back in Les Mis! It's been so fun seeing all the different shows you've done since leaving in 2016 but there's something about seeing you in Les Mis that feels so nostalgic and... comforting? I started watching your channel in 2014 so maybe it feels like not *that* much time has passed after all, even though it can feel like an eternity!
trying extremely hard not to ball my eyes out!!! This makes me so unbelievably happy and nostalgic, really talking me back to 15 year old me watching your old les mis vlogs, now 20 I feel like I’ve grown up with you!!Well and truly the big sister I never had, thankyou thankyou thankyou❤️
So I just saw you in Les Mis the concert and HOLY GUACAMOLE I was a hot mess the entire time. You were phenomenal, the ensemble were phenomenal, the orchestra were phenomenal. I truly feel blessed to have seen this beautiful production based upon my favourite show. Thank you.
Loved the “Follow me, Fantine!” You are a ray of sun, Carrie! ☀️ Wishing you all the best and please don’t be too harsh on yourself about “screwing up more %”, you are doing a wonderful job. 🌻✨
Loved this! So amazing to see such a bunch of talented performers (many of which I've seen in various performances of Les Mis) in one space. Follow Me Fantine is a great idea!
I love these videos. I love how sweet and outgoing you are with your cast mates. You just seem like great company tbh, and I love how much you goof off with the rest of the actors - it's fun to see how informal it is right on the other side of the curtain and how much fun you all have. It's like getting a glimpse into another world lol.
Loved watching this! i came to see the concert the first monday it was open and absolutely loved it and it still made me cry! Thanks for sharing what goes on backstage & you were fab when i saw it!
Hi Carrie! I saw the show last week and you and the rest of the cast were so amazing! I had such a great time and I will forever remember that day and all the beautiful voices I got to hear. Love you lots 💕
WORSEL GUMMAGE! I USED TO WATCH THAT AS A KID. it scared me alot! Always love you carrie x Edit: who else was spooked how much carrie looked like she used to with long hair. Reminds one of the past les mis
I came and saw you on Saturday, it's my second time seeing you in Les Mis (first time was you as Eponine) and you performed AMAZINGLY! Honestly and truly can say that that was the best rendition of I Dreamed A Dream I've ever heard in my life. You were brilliant xxx
We saw the evening performance on this day! You were absolutely amazing, it’s obviously a very emotional role anyway but you brought such a tenderness and we really felt every emotion that Fantine was experiencing. Of course the rest of the cast are phenomenal as well, I will literally never forget the experience, what a dream to have seen it!
It is weird that watching this made me nostalgic from when you were playing Eponine. Like I know it must be way weirder for you, Carrie. But as someone who's been watching your videos since like 2012, this is just reminding me so much of your first Follow Me Friday and I really love it. So proud of you, girl. Not that the opinion of this internet stranger matters much.
I remember going to the Queens (now the Soundheim) and seeing Les Mis for the first time back in 2015 with you and Rob as Marius and Eponine and it is an experience I will never forget! Thanks for making that experience so enjoyable and memorable and I'm so happy that you're having fun with this new role in this beloved show!!
I had the huge honour of seeing Les Mis concert on the opening night (10th August) and OMG I was blown away! I nearly SOBBED at I Dreamed a Dream. Thank you for doing stage door that night as well. No need to apologise either for making me cry nearly XD It just means you've done a cracking job and something that only a handful of shows have actually made me do before!
It was so lovely to be able to see you perform on Saturday and the whole cast were simply incredible and what made the day even more special was accidentally bumping into you before the show - thank you so much for being so lovely!
ahhhh listening to the wedding reminded me of being in les mis in high school! i was joly so i also had a little travel to the wings during the wedding so i could come out and sing the end as a lil barricade ghost. so many memories and such a great show to be a part of. wish i could see you as fantine but my life will forever be blessed having seen you as eponine ☺️
Hi Carrie, I just love seeing the behind the seens stuff in your vlogs, I am a real theatre buff, even though I have never been to a show in my life, I think it's just in my blood as both my parents were actors in the Danish theatre before I was born. It is something I have always dreamed of doing but unfortunately my mother was always dead set against it. I'm not trying to be weird, but I find myself sort of living my dream through watching your Vlogs. I am now 56 years old and know that the dream is not my reality, but watching your videos give me so much joy and I am always cheering you on and feeling so proud of you. Because you are so down to earth and wonderful, you have become my hero. Sending you love and everything good from a far. Your friend in Australia 🇦🇺
Love love loveeeed this vlog. Seeing the insight to your working day is incredible and makes me so jealous I never got to do what you do now. Can’t wait to come and see the concert! Xx
directly after this i watched your "the end of eponine | vlogmas day four" video from 2016 and it was so strange yet so wonderful to watch a video with you portraying another character - a character you've played for so long - from les mis and letting us come along with you. x
Carrie this is so exciting! I remember seeing you announce being cast as eponine and now you’re fantine and it suits you so well ahhh!!! Congratulations you deserve this so much xx
You can clean the milk steamer out by steaming some hot water in the jug for a few seconds 2-3 times. Just don’t leave the jug in the steamer overnight as it will completely wreck the machine xx
Love how she's like I have to die soon ... I'm dead and above me right now their in Paris then "its hald way through the wedding" ive seen the show a few months ago actually and it really is just that eventful 😂😂😂
Perfect timing! Flying to London tomorrow and seeing the show on friday! Can't wait! Which colour does the Fantine heart have since Veronica was blue and Wednesday was black? 😄🖤💙💛
Ahhhh was so excited to see this video!! I saw u in the show last Saturday evening (the day u filmed this) and u were INCREDIBLE!!! as u always are. Loved loved love the show. Huge congratulations. This is an amazing show xxx
i love these types of videos! i love just watching you get ready for a show and how things go behind the scenes and all that. you are happy, healthy, loved and successful. i love that bit :) love you carrie x
I'm moving to Scotland in 2 weeks for school and to me that's one step closer to London (I'm Canadian) and one step closer to being in Les Mis ... I must say I wouldn't have this dream without your vlogs. Love you Carrie!!
So glad to hear it's all going well! I know you're super busy so could you consider opening community contributions for captions as a lot of the subtitles for auto captioning are wrong!
was an absolute dream to see you last week!! genuinely still trying to comprehend how incredible this whole production is and how phenomenal you are! fingers crossed i can make it back at least once more + for closing! all the love + luck for the next few months 💗

Yes.

Really interesting watch Carrie - great to see the ‘backstage’ view of a production - thanks so much!
JustEz Hope to see you on the West End stage too before long!!
When, at 9:48, you say: "I'm *on my own* in my dressing room"... yeah, that made me giggle :D.
Me too lol
Came to find a comment like this!
ON MY OWWWNNNN
I almost forgot she did Eponine too...!
Carrie! I need to tell you immediately! 😱 You have inspired me so so much over the past few years, and now I've done it! 😭 I got into drama school!

Can we please acknowledge how stunning that violin / string section portamento was at 13:50
who’s here because they luckily got tickets to the extra 6 weeks of the concert and want to get excited!!!
I can't believe that you have appeared in Les Miserables 3 times! You should feel so proud of your self xx
Technically five times, I believe. Child Eponine, high school production, professional Eponine, Dubai Eponine, and now Fantine!
When she's old enough she should come back as Mme Thenardier 😊
@@TechnologyFML yeah, I did see that i just mentioned the main 3 characters she has portrayed but still 5 is pretty impressive☺
@@22SeaJay that would be amazing,call her agent!😂
This gives me so much nostalgia. I remember watching all your vlogs back when you played Eponine, among with Rob and Anton's christmas calendar. So lovely to see you back on the show! Can't wait to see you perform in October!

The pinkish eyeshadow you wear as Fantine is so flattering on your dark eyes! It's really beautiful!
At the same billing level as Ball and Boe, Carrie is a STARRRRR.

Do you still have post-mortem treats? I mean, this is the third show in which you've died 😂
IWillBeHers and i mean she died inside in heathers aswell...
@@sophiemei835 what? Veronica doesn't die. Comes close, but not quite. I was more thinking of Eponine, Fantine, and Beth.
IWillBeHers they were joking about figuratively dying, lmao
Saw you on Monday 19th and OH MY GOODNESS, you were incredible!!! I was crying throughout I Dreamed a Dream because your voice is so beautiful! Please keep inspiring people as you have inspired me so much ❤️

It's so inspiring to see a fantine who is so talented and the same shape as me!! Can't wait to see this in October!! 🖤🖤
I really love your hair when it's pinned up! Suits you so well in my opinion!
Finally! 😍 Seeing you back in Les Mis makes me incredibly happy!
I've been following you for years, so I'm EXTRA excited that I'll get to see you as Fantine while I'm studying in London this fall! So happy for you!! :)

You can clean the milk steamer out by steaming some hot water in the jug for a few seconds 2-3 times.
Just don’t leave the jug in the steamer overnight as it will completely wreck the machine xx
I use RnB too and I find as a curl refresh, if you put some of it in a little spray bottle with some water and spritz it on, it’s really good :)
Love how she's like I have to die soon ... I'm dead and above me right now their in Paris then "its hald way through the wedding" ive seen the show a few months ago actually and it really is just that eventful 😂😂😂
I don’t think I ever been this excited for a video!!!
I saw you on the 12th August and you are incredible as fantine! Also massive thank you for seeing everyone at stage door!
Carrie you are such an incredible woman and an inspiration to all I saw you in war of the worlds in December 2018 and you were amazing ❤️❤️ xxx
Perfect timing! Flying to London tomorrow and seeing the show on friday! Can't wait! Which colour does the Fantine heart have since Veronica was blue and Wednesday was black? 😄🖤💙💛

Yellow seems right, reflecting the “gold on her head”
Think I saw purple?
Lol, purple used to be Carrie’s favourite colour too (it’s apparently green now)
Ahhhh was so excited to see this video!! I saw u in the show last Saturday evening (the day u filmed this) and u were INCREDIBLE!!! as u always are. Loved loved love the show. Huge congratulations. This is an amazing show xxx

I'm moving to Scotland in 2 weeks for school and to me that's one step closer to London (I'm Canadian) and one step closer to being in Les Mis ... I must say I wouldn't have this dream without your vlogs. Love you Carrie!!
So glad to hear it's all going well! I know you're super busy so could you consider opening community contributions for captions as a lot of the subtitles for auto captioning are wrong!
Very strange that a Sondheim show is not on at the Sondheim
I thought that!
was an absolute dream to see you last week!! genuinely still trying to comprehend how incredible this whole production is and how phenomenal you are! fingers crossed i can make it back at least once more + for closing! all the love + luck for the next few months 💗
So glad you are letting us see the backstage things again! Really getting flashbacks to your time as Eponine!
I have two misty things in my home one in my living room and the other in my kitchen love them!! got them on amazon!!
