I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to see a musical theater actress who is not a cookie cutter and smashes the idea of being type cast and absolutely kicks ass in every role she plays! You have inspired me to audition outside my “type” and go for roles I think I could smash, even though I may not look like what people expect. (I’m curvy and 6ft tall which is interesting in theater 😂) amazingly, I’ll be playing Nancy in Oliver this summer and I never would have auditioned for that role had your awesomeness not inspired me to do so. 💕
Wow thanks to everyone! I’m actually tearing up, was not expecting such love and support 💕 Best community on the internet! And to Gracexxx CONGRATULATIONS and break a leg !
When you showed the pencil case and said "Hey yo Westerberg" I just couldn't help but sing "Tell me, what's that sound?". Can't wait for another vlog, lots of love
I love that you're showing and explaining in depth the workings of theatre. I'm a stage manager and quite often performers don't go into the production/creative team's side of things. Hearing you talk about fight calls etc makes people more aware of the work that goes into theatre outwith the performers. Makes me happy!
Cake mascara was actually how all mascaras used to be! They're water activated and really cool. You might have an easier time using the spoolie they provided to apply it, rather than the brush that it came with, so give both a try!
I was so taken aback when you switched to your American accent for ‘what’s your damage’! You’re going to rock it, Carrie! Since I can’t fly to London to see you I’m going to a local theatre troupe’s performance of Heathers next weekend 😊
Minute 3:38 is giving me life, as the kids say. Also, can Carrie be any more adorable putting a little dedication in her book and leaving it for some lucky soul to find it? She's a precious cinnamon roll.
The swish of the curtain is one of my favourite books and I know you'll enjoy it too, though Pamela brown was born 1924 and wrote this when she was 14!
it’s beh-sah-meh, which means “kiss me” in spanish (the founder is latina). if you’re confused, just look up “sunrise” from in the heights, nina sings the proper pronunciation during the song
The Swish of the Curtain is one of my all time favourite books! It's about a group of children who set up their own theatre, and it's such a good story! It came out in the 1940s I think, and the author has passed away now, but it's one of the most gorgeous stories ever. And Pamela Brown was only 14 when she wrote it! I really hope you enjoy delving into the world of The Blue Door Theatre Company! Xxx
Fun fact about The Swish of The Curtain - it was published in 1941 when the author was only 16! It's a brilliant book, the first in a series about a group of children (later adults) who start their own theatre company and write all their own plays and music. It was one of my favourites as a kid, and honestly, I think its a must-read for anyone who loves the theatre!
Congrats on getting a cottage! That is super exciting! I can't wait to see how you'll decorate it! And I am loving all these Heathers videos. They are great!
It's for sure BEH-suh-meh after the Spanish term, and the company's super cool because they produce vintage-style cosmetics (a la the cake mascara) AND have Disney-inspired products (I literally want their whole Snow White line)! Hope you enjoy their stuff Carrie :)
This video made me so heartsick for London. I lived on UK theatre and I'm so excited for Heathers (a musical I adore) to be open and playing, congrats on the hard work!
i know there is a very small chance carrie will see this but i just wanted to say that to her if she does see it that im going through and rewatching these videos, i found her channel through them and she is an inspiration to me and many others, i really miss theatre and i can't wait for the theatre's to be open again and to see Carrie back on stage and maybe even get a chance to be onstage myself. Carrie is truly amazing and i can't wait to see what else she will achieve, i was lucky enough to have seen her in heathers and i hope to see her in more shows in the future, she is my idol.
I still can't believe I bought a ticket for Heathers and fly over to London. After watching years of your (backstage) vlogs it'll be so surreal to see you perform in person. I cannot wait!
Oh my goodness The Swish Of The Curtain was one of my absolute top 5 books growing up... Read it until the cover fell off! It's very old, one of those very British, archaically delightful yet strangly ethereally inspiring stories. Think Noel Streatfield with a younger and completely unpretentious yet joyful authorial voice. What a classic, I'm so glad they're bringing it back again.
Sian Coules Me too! It's such a gorgeous story with such interesting characters! I remember reading it so many times when I was younger, and slowly receiving the sequals for birthdays as they eventually got around to re-releasing them! Carrie is going to love the Blue Door Theatre Company!
I was literally just listening to Heathers when you posted this! It always makes me happy to see you and your videos. Coming to London for the first time this summer and I really hope I get a chance to see the show and experience you and your fantastic voice in person
I'm currently reading Swish of the Curtain! My grandma sent it to me awhile ago so I thought I'd best read it. It's a very sweet book, not the most exciting but enjoyable nonetheless.
Those presents are so cool, especially the pencil case! Agghh the show looks so good, from the cast alone and your cover I can tell it will be incredible!
Carrie, your eyebrows look great and I also just bought a house. Two of my favorite youtubers bought their first houses at the same time as me (you and Jenna)!!! So stressful and exciting. Wish you the best with your cottage 😘
seeing the show next week for my 21st birthday - so excited!!! been subscribed for years and have always wanted to see you in a show, and heathers being my favourite musical opening on the weekend of my 21st felt like it must be fate haha. Hope you have an amazing time in the show, I know i'll have an amazing time watching it!
Jessica Ratcliffe ahh hey Jess! I was about to mention C4 when you said that, then I saw your name! (I can't come down and see it as unfortunately my work is stupid with holiday.) Oh it's Kirsty by the way... :) Hope you have so much fun with the Addams famiy!
bess-a-may is how most people I know pronounce it. I use their victory red lipstick, the 1941 reproduction lipstick for all my vintage events/pin up looks. Their 1946 lipstick is the one that was used for Agent Carter
I own multiple Besame products, they are pretty wonderful. I really like the mascara cake, it can be used as eyeliner and eyebrows (color probably too dark for yours). I adore it as liner and mascara and it really works surprisingly well. It is too dark for my brows. Their lipstick is amazing btw! I am so happy you are taking us along to rehearsal and such, it’s fun glimpsing into your theatrical world! Have a fabulous week!
Yaaas. Respect for that old school Disney box - I’m almost out from that one, there’s some weird ones in it but they’re quite cool - you have to be a hard core Pixar fan to know about the old bicycle and tin toy. I’m sure you’ll find the right people to send them to :D
I am coming to watch on the 13th with one of my mates, we made friends because he was wearing an Adams family top and so we bonded over musical theatre and watching you in shows!
Omg Thursday 31st of May made me cry 😭 I performed in the closing show for the Hall For Cornwall on Thursday and I keep crying every time I think about it. Can’t believe it’s going to be shut for 2 years :( also we found the poster for the Addams family alongside many other shows that have graced the Hall over the past 20 years!
Some other people have already responded but I'm under the impression the makeup brand is called bes-eh-may. I so wish I could come see this show. There's just no chance of me coming to the UK right now. I'm sure it's gonna be great.
Now I'm sad I can't just go and see Heathers, because I don't live in UK... it sounds like so much fun, but also quite dramatic! I love musicals, I've seen almost all those played in my town.

Hey fellow Nancy!! I'll be playing Nancy in October of this year. Hope everything goes well for you!!
Thats amazing!! Your talent isn't defined by how you look, and I'm sure you'll smash every role you get
Good luck!!!!
This thread gives me so much joy!!! Good luck to both Nancys! You'll both crush it!
Wow thanks to everyone! I’m actually tearing up, was not expecting such love and support 💕 Best community on the internet! And to Gracexxx CONGRATULATIONS and break a leg !
Me at 10:06 : aww they're hugging that's so adorab- oh no. She's killing him...
Sameeeeee lol
When you showed the pencil case and said "Hey yo Westerberg" I just couldn't help but sing "Tell me, what's that sound?".
Can't wait for another vlog, lots of love
2, nearly 3 years and I still can't believe no one said
"BIG BUD DEAN IF IT'S IN YOUR WAY I'LL MAKE YOUR DAAAAAY"
Carrie : Describe the cottage in three words
Oliver : cute little cottage
I don’t know why but it makes me laugh every time 🤣💖
"thoos-londs" "i like that word" 😂 I love Jamie ❤️😂🤣
I genuinely thought you'd bought a pub...
I love that you're showing and explaining in depth the workings of theatre. I'm a stage manager and quite often performers don't go into the production/creative team's side of things. Hearing you talk about fight calls etc makes people more aware of the work that goes into theatre outwith the performers. Makes me happy!
A HOUSE EEEP CONGRATS LADYYY! THAT'S HUGE!
Cake mascara was actually how all mascaras used to be! They're water activated and really cool. You might have an easier time using the spoolie they provided to apply it, rather than the brush that it came with, so give both a try!
Thanks for the tip!!! Can't wait to try it!!! xxx
I was so taken aback when you switched to your American accent for ‘what’s your damage’! You’re going to rock it, Carrie! Since I can’t fly to London to see you I’m going to a local theatre troupe’s performance of Heathers next weekend 😊
Those vocal warmups are mad!
ahh everyone seems so happy and lovable at Heathers, pretty sure you can't beat that kind of working environment!! Excited to see you all ace it
Oh my you bought a house! You could paint a wall purple, or just a tiny thing. I’m so proud of you! It’s such a great thing xx

Bésame! Their Marvel’s “Agent Carter” themed line is AMAZING!!
Just like the show then!
The footage at 0:11 with the music was stunning 😍😍😍
Watching this video after a sad reminder and a panic attack, it really helped me. Thank you for sharing, Carrie, your videos mean a lot
I’m obsessed with the vocal warm ups

As if we dont know what that fight scene was
The Swish of the Curtain is such a feel-good read! one of my all time favorite books as a child; lots of humor and heart.
Congrats on getting a cottage! That is super exciting! I can't wait to see how you'll decorate it! And I am loving all these Heathers videos. They are great!
Thank you so much for sharing these vlogs! It’s so cool and exciting to have an insight behind the scenes of heathers!!! Xxxx
It's for sure BEH-suh-meh after the Spanish term, and the company's super cool because they produce vintage-style cosmetics (a la the cake mascara) AND have Disney-inspired products (I literally want their whole Snow White line)! Hope you enjoy their stuff Carrie :)
As a fight choreographer, you’re KILLING me! Don’t lose your technique in performance or you get hurt! Feel better but be careful!
This video made me so heartsick for London. I lived on UK theatre and I'm so excited for Heathers (a musical I adore) to be open and playing, congrats on the hard work!
Congrats on finally finding a house and I hope it will all work out!! xx
YAY! Oliver! I missed him!
Mascara cake is very old school. Very popular in the 50s and 60s.
Carrie’s little tooth gap is precious🥺
Besame is the best!!!! Dusty rose is my favorite lipstick to wear 💖
i know there is a very small chance carrie will see this but i just wanted to say that to her if she does see it that im going through and rewatching these videos, i found her channel through them and she is an inspiration to me and many others, i really miss theatre and i can't wait for the theatre's to be open again and to see Carrie back on stage and maybe even get a chance to be onstage myself.

Always looking forward to your rehearsal videos!
Looks like big fun was definitely had by all!! I love it. Also your director getting you such cool gifts is wonderful
I love the beginning shot
I find these so entertaining hence why i'm here in 2019 😂
I still can't believe I bought a ticket for Heathers and fly over to London. After watching years of your (backstage) vlogs it'll be so surreal to see you perform in person. I cannot wait!
i couldn’t stop smiling when i was watching this????
The visuals and your singing at the beginning are sooo pretty!
I am so so glad you’re in a show again and vlogging every week. LOVE THESE THEY’RE MY FAV!

I'm so excited by the pencil case, notebook and pencils omg
ooh mascara cake is like the og way of appliying mascara before the liquid mascara formula was introduced!
Those presents are so cool, especially the pencil case! Agghh the show looks so good, from the cast alone and your cover I can tell it will be incredible!
Carrie, your eyebrows look great and I also just bought a house. Two of my favorite youtubers bought their first houses at the same time as me (you and Jenna)!!! So stressful and exciting. Wish you the best with your cottage 😘
The lightning at the beginning is absolutely memorizing!!!
the swish of the curtain is one of my all time favourite books, so I’d definitely recommend it 💙💙
I love the thought that gets put into the gifts: the pencil case and the pencils being named after songs.
seeing the show next week for my 21st birthday - so excited!!! been subscribed for years and have always wanted to see you in a show, and heathers being my favourite musical opening on the weekend of my 21st felt like it must be fate haha. Hope you have an amazing time in the show, I know i'll have an amazing time watching it!
I can't get over how much your hair has grown 😱 I really hope it works out for you to get that cottage! 😍
5:31 foreshadowed today baby! ❤️
Besame is spanish for kiss me and that brand is based on 1950s makeup.
I'm in intensives for Addams Family atm as an ensemble member and head of design 9:30am - 9:30pm and we've lost track of days too XD
Jessica Ratcliffe ahh hey Jess! I was about to mention C4 when you said that, then I saw your name! (I can't come down and see it as unfortunately my work is stupid with holiday.) Oh it's Kirsty by the way... :)
Hope you have so much fun with the Addams famiy!
The princess postcard box is amazing!
Got me that one a few weeks earlier too!! You will love every single one of them!
Heathers is one of my favorite musicals! I'm so happy you are sharing this experience!
The clouds, the lightning & your voice... so pretty
Ahhhhhh this is making me even more excited to see the show in July!!!!!!
I’m visiting London in a couple of weeks, and I got tickets to see Heathers, and these videos are making me so excited!!
So excited about your little cottage! You’re moving on up!! Can’t wait to see it in videos and more from Heathers!
bess-a-may is how most people I know pronounce it. I use their victory red lipstick, the 1941 reproduction lipstick for all my vintage events/pin up looks. Their 1946 lipstick is the one that was used for Agent Carter
I love watching what I’d call your show diaries, as a theatre human gotta love rehearsal vibes
speaking of fight calls.. I remembered a time in my musical theatre class when stage combat when wrong and this guy got a broken, bloody nose 😬
New house!! So exciting! I didn't find the teaser on your Instagram tho :o
Regina Phelange She posted on her story a few days ago so you can't find it now ^^
Also love your user name haha
These videos always make me want to be super productive and I love it.
I own multiple Besame products, they are pretty wonderful. I really like the mascara cake, it can be used as eyeliner and eyebrows (color probably too dark for yours). I adore it as liner and mascara and it really works surprisingly well. It is too dark for my brows. Their lipstick is amazing btw!

I live for these behind the scenes!!!
Something about Sergio reminds me of Dan Stevens... haha, I like that your token American reminds me of a Brit! 😊♥️
I am coming to watch on the 13th with one of my mates, we made friends because he was wearing an Adams family top and so we bonded over musical theatre and watching you in shows!
Wonderful video as always Carrie
So excited can't wait to see your new home.
Omg Thursday 31st of May made me cry 😭 I performed in the closing show for the Hall For Cornwall on Thursday and I keep crying every time I think about it. Can’t believe it’s going to be shut for 2 years :( also we found the poster for the Addams family alongside many other shows that have graced the Hall over the past 20 years!
Good luck with your move (if all goes well)! 🖤
Congratulations on buying the house, Carrie!
ITS NOT FRIDAY!!!! Still ❤️ya Carrie 🤣
I'm so happy for you! I can't wait for you to share your new home with us!
Exciting times ahead Carrie!
O my goood I literally cannot wait for your house tour!
I love these vlogs so much!!! xxx
I imagine you've bought a teeny tiny cottage like the one from Tots TV haha
Love this!!! And next book, yes yes yes!!!
loved the whole vid but i could have watched the very first few seconds all day x
I am SO INCREDIBLY excited to come and see you in July!!!! 😁💖
Some other people have already responded but I'm under the impression the makeup brand is called bes-eh-may. I so wish I could come see this show. There's just no chance of me coming to the UK right now. I'm sure it's gonna be great.
Heathers is my favorite and I love Carrie and it hurts me that I do not live in a place where it is possible for me to go see this D:
Fully thought for a moment you just dumped that big stack of letters/parcels in the bin
Yay Bésame products!! Their lipsticks are my favorite!!!
Wow. Watching this again after the new announcement. Is "In the Time We Lost" in that notebook?
I can’t wait to come see the show💙
Now I'm sad I can't just go and see Heathers, because I don't live in UK... it sounds like so much fun, but also quite dramatic! I love musicals, I've seen almost all those played in my town.
Congrats on the house Carrie, God bless xx
I do hope everything goes well with the house. So excited for you! :')
Ahhh I'm just buying tickets for late July now I'm so excited!!!
You are so welcome Carrie. I adore you 🧡🧡🧡🧡
