I’m so sorry :( it sucks that you feel that way, I know exactly how you feel, we’ve all been there. My city went into lockdown in February and lemme tell you-it was *rough*. The first few weeks are so incredibly tough because you just have to go through your everyday life but in one space. I felt like I was being boxed in, suffocated. Don’t worry, these feelings WILL PASS! my friends who have anxiety and depression have it a lot worse, I understand that. just try to get to a point of acceptance where it’s a “I get that this is happening and I’m going to try to make the best of it.” Allow yourself to feel all the emotions and don’t suppress anything-it’s just going to help the pain thrive because you’re keeping it all in. cry to a sad movie, laugh to a standup set, yell at whatever makes you angry. It’s healthy to express your emotions.
Try and find calmness within yourself, try a meditative app, coloring apps and books works for me sometimes. Don't pressure yourself, don't get anxious by others behaviour. Keep safe keep strong! 💞
honestly ive been listening to waitress a lot and crying when jenna says her whole "dear baby i hope someday somebody wants to hold you for 20 minutes straight" line bc GOD i want somebody to hold me for 20 minutes straight
Katherine, I'm so upset. The musical of my dreams was cancelled, Les Mis, and we have been told that we won't be doing it because the girl playing Eponine is leaving the school in September. So my dream role, since I was 7, has been taken from me. Normally I wouldn't be this dramatic but the last time I ever spoke to my great grandma was singing castle on a cloud down the phone to her when she was in hospital. So it means so much to me to do Les Mis. And now I will probably never get to do it. So I feel awful.
Poppy, be as dramatic as you want. We get you. I'm so sorry for you, but if you were doing Les Mis (wherever!) I can assure you that other opportunities will show up. Maybe you get to do it again, or maybe you grow fond of a character that you absolutely hated. Sending you all my love, support and strength from Spain to wherever you are
The fact that musicals have shut down really doesn’t “ban” me from listening to cast recordings and it doesn’t make me sad listen to musicals since I have never even seen one, which is kinda sadder since I probably won’t be able to for a long time. Stay safe everyone
I feel like all of this doesn’t seem real. Like I’ve been trying to stay positive but things don’t look good for me. I live in New Jersey and we have a lot of cases and it’s scary to see people I know get corona.
Victoria the Rat Same but it seems like cases may be going down and schools are supposedly opening on may 15 so maybe stuff are gonna go back to normal just find something to distract you from all of this
Nicole Gerstenberg the governor of Texas just cancelled school for the year and Bexar County (San Antonio) is requiring everyone to wear masks in public
I've been listening to falsettos way to much in lockdown and let me tell you it's not good for my mental health XD like I usually skip the last few songs bc I'll just start crying lol
my best friend is moving tomorrow because she has to leave the state before we go on lockdown, and we thought we had until the end of the school year with her. i’ve definitely had better days
@@ItsAsparageese from the comment, I'm guessing that she was going to move to somewhere outside out their state and they can only do so now by leaving before their lockdown restrictions are put in place.
I'm so sorry to hear that 💞 Friends being far away, especially in times like this can be so difficult. Facetiming, phone calls, zoom parties, texting, etc. have been saving my sanity. Also, this might sound super cheesy but whenever I had a friend move or I moved, I just kept thinking of that old saying "True friends are never apart, maybe in distance but never in heart". I know it's not the same, but just because she's moving doesn't mean she's gone forever. Your love & friendship is still there!! 💞 Sending you lots of love
Hey, I had a close friend move a state away abruptly, it's not a fun time. But it might reassure you to know we still talk a bunch, he comes to visit between uni terms and we're still just as close. It sucks not being able to see your friend but I hope you can stay close to each other.
Also, fun question: anyone else been hit by those invasive thoughts that say you’re doing nothing with you’re life or you’re never gonna make it and feeling like you can’t do anything about it?? ... cause same ... stay safe though guys I love you 🥺💖
You are not alone You are not alone You are not alone You are not aloooooooone (Sorry I read your comment and immediately thought of dear evan hansen You will be found
“Right now I’m just craving very simple, very homey activities.” This is totally me, Kat. I’ve been watching movies, tv and RUclips like crazy; and while that isn’t unusual for me, this amount is probably unhealthy. I haven’t gone past my balcony in over three weeks which is so weird because usually I get the most insane cabin fever, but right now just seems safe and cozy staying home which I feel like is something we are all searching for in this time of such turmoil. I even brought out my sewing kit that I was given as a birthday present as a young girl- which I legitimately have not touched in eight whole years- because the rhythm of sewing is so simple but it’s something completely different to focus on other than everything happening. Musical wise, I’ve been watching so many pro shots both of musicals and just straight plays as well as listening to cast recordings that I haven’t before and taking this as a new opportunity to expand my horizons. I live in a really small city town so I didn’t see that many shows to begin with, on top of the fact that I’m still building up the baseline talent to be in a show myself so I haven’t really been feeling like I’m missing out on that. Seeing them is more of an occasional treat as much as I would like it to become something more regular. Problem is though, I know so many people and friends who were cast in musicals or were playing in the pit for one or doing backstage and none of them get to do that anymore and I become really sad for them when I let myself think about it too much. Also I wanted to suggest Discord if you’ve been wanting more human interaction. It’s a platform used for voice and video chatting and can support those things over gaming. My friends and I use it all the time and I think it’s a really easy way to keep in touch- and totally came to mind when you were saying about how you want to talk to us. I know other youtubers that host servers and it works really well. All my love in these difficult times. We totally support you if you are feeling stressed or lonely or anything! Sending lots of hugs xxx
Hi Kat! As a fellow at risk individual (albeit younger), I really appreciate this right now. My entire family went under lock down 5 weeks ago as well. My mental health is crap right now. Thank you so much for being honest about this it is so important to have a conversation about this Edit: also I have only listened to one show during this. I had never hear waitress before quarantine but I have listened through multiple times a day almost every day.
i saw the title and my heart literally just DROPPED. the last time i've even STEPPED OUTSIDE was march 20th. our production of high school musical has been postponed before it even started. my trip to nyc in may has been cancelled, i was gonna see the broadway cast of six. i've been watching more musicals and have been dream casting shows with my friends, covering songs on tiktok and kind of going insane- that's how life has been going for me so far. happy 200k kat!! that's all i got to say.
I had a school production that has been postponed before it has started too. My drama teacher was going to give me a part even though I'm a year group too young because she has seen my acting in a few of the older student's shows and I was so excited. If things carry on like this for much longer I might be the right age anyway when it starts!
me too. i think it’s because musicals make you feel like you’re apart of the story and you’re not focusing so much on what’s actually happening on your own life while you’re listening to a musical.
Kat, this is the most genuine online friendship I've ever seen. The fact that, without knowing us, you care about your viewers so much is so heart-warming. I'm really glad you and your family are ok. How are your friends? Trevor, Noah, Julia, Dana, Jack...? My family is fine, thank God, although the situation here in Spain is getting very though. One of my brothers is in the Navy and we can't talk to him a lot because he is Kenya on duty, but thanks so much for asking. Quarantine is tough, I'm a High School teacher and e-classes are crazy. I understand your phase of not listening to musicals, however, I found that if I binge on a musical with my family (obviously not a sad one) I can use it to spend quality time with them. For example, we love Singing in the Rain and we watch it together, almost quoting the entire movie, we have a blast but not for the musical, but bc we do it together. Maybe it works for you too. Glad your fine, I love you!
A part of me dies every time someone calls this 'the new normal'. I'm personally finding it imperative to view this as temporary or I'm not going to be able to keep going. I was seven shows into my first lead in a beautiful show before the full lockdown started. It was cancelled and the threatre company really isn't handling it well. It feels like they're throwing away all our hard work like it was nothing, but doing everything they can to preserve the musicals. Ours and one other show got cancelled and they were the only two straight plays set for this season, but all of the musicals are only postponed. I don't know, it just feels unfair to me. Also that show was kind of all I had, so it feels like I have nothing now and I'll still have nothing when things return to normal. Also I wish people would stop preaching productivity/positivity on social media. So long as everyone is staying home and doing what they can to stop this, they're doing enough. everyone should be allowed to cope with this in their own way. everything about this is horrible and it sucks and we should be allowed to talk about that without trying to put a positive spin on it, there's a difference between being supportive and being condescending, but not many people have figured that out. You've nailed it though, Kat. Thank you for being real. Thank you for this video.
DEFINITELY craving human interaction, but this quarantine has had the opposite effects on me, I’ve been watching non-stop bootlegs and been binge listening some cast recording I’ve never got the chance to fully give some time to listen too. I also love the show must go on Andrew Lloyd Webber shows, and any other pro shots I can find.
POTO 25th livestreamers represeeent! Somehow after listening to the soundtrack a thousand times and already seeing the whole show, it still gave me such chills.
I FEEL so much when you said, “I didn’t process my emotions” My show was canceled and I just moved on, I never processed how bad that was, like 5 months of work gone! I hope your doing well cuz i’m really not.
i feel you girl!! my show grease got canceled and it was the best show of my life. i can’t listen to any theater tunes or i’ll think about grease and i’ll get sad. but hang in there!! we’ll get through it as the theater community together!! ❤️❤️
as a senior in highschool i feel like i've lost a lot of things, but i've been trying to make the best of it! been using creativity as an outlet in many ways like making my friends gifts and making yt vids. i spent the day watching broadway bootlegs and crying over shows and it's definitely a different feeling watching shows that aren't playing in real time. thanks for such an authentic and wonderful video!!
ive had a lot of stuff bottled up with this quarantine and it’s been really effecting my mood and people around me. my dad went to work (he works in a building by himself) and my mom got groceries. i was alone in the house and started belting, as any theatre kid would do. now i’m so much happier!! it really helped me realize how life changing theatre is for me. so many things have been happening to me and others that have just been comforting and that just put me in a good mood in my life. i’m trying to make anyone’s days better that i can. much love ❤️ also random note: IT STARTED RAINING RIGHT WHEN THE CHORUS STARTED OF DON’T RAIN ON MY PARADE! WHAT?!
We received news yesterday that my school play was shut down...that hit hard. It was the first time I’d had a semi-lead role, and now that I can’t play that, I’m really down. And I get what you’re saying about not listening to musicals. The more I listen, the weirder it feels. It doesn’t feel right.... so I’m incredibly grateful for you to be able to work from home and keep me in some good spirits.
I'm currently in 8th grade and my school was going to have its first ever drama club production 'Beauty and the Beast'. I was given the honor to portray Belle. I thought it was the best way to end my time at the school. But because of all of this, it turned one of my favorite musicals into a sad reminder of what I am missing out on. But luckily, my amazing Drama Club teacher is going to work with the high school and district administration to ensure that the current 8t graders can play their role as 9th graders!
i have truly never felt this alone, when you asked “how are you ?” i almost started to cry quarantine has made my mental health worse than ever and i live in constant fear of what’ll happen next. (i live in new york, where it’s bad) school keeps getting pushed farther and farther and i have a feeling we aren’t going to go back. the world is shut down and it’s just so scary. it honestly feels like the apocalypse. and katherine, i know exactly what you mean. i can’t listen to musicals either, it just makes me sadder than i already am. i hope everyone is okay and i wish the best for everyone right now❤️
Hey friend, I totally understand what you’re going through. I am incredibly privileged to be able to zoom with a lot of my friends and such, but it’s truly not the same. (Also my love language is physical touch so I’m kinda touchstarved) if you talk about life/just have some kind of human interaction about literally anything dm me on insta @tghorse22 (or just reply to this, or whatever, idk what I’m doing or saying or anything anymore)
Online school is stressing me out so much. I just miss the way things were. Ive been listening to musicals because its at least one thing that makes me happy
Some artists have singalongs online, and National Theater in England have a youtube channel with one free play to see each week! Right now up until Thursday, Treasure Island!
Ulrika Trygg Andrew Lloyd Webber shows are also free every week. “The Show Must Go On” is the channel; currently they have Phantom of the Opera until Sunday at 11.
How am I?! Well I like most have been trying my best to remain emotionally stable and honestly, it hasn’t worked very well. Then I looked into your channel (my friend told me about you). I was instantly wowed by your level of passion and love for the theatre. Your channel has become the best part of every day for me and I’m glad I found your little (or should I say big) cult. Thank you❤️
Honestly, it changes every day. I lost my job, and I’m supposed to move to a new state, which, without a job, is stressful figuring out how I’m going to make ends meet. But on the bright side, I’m planning to start my Master’s degree online in the fall, so there’s a good thing! My extroverted self is dying for human interaction, but there’s great internet resources that have helped me stay connected with old friends and even make some new ones. Your content is a bright spot in my feed, and I’m so grateful for your sunshiny presence. ❤️
I literally NEEDED THIS SO BAD I just got the info that due to the time a musical I’ve been prepping for an entire year is cancelled and I am so heartbroken right now I had to do an entire change first vocally I am a baritone and he’s a tenor so I worked my belt up to a C5 which took SO LONG cause I wanted to do it the healthy way and not hurt myself, and physically so I could be in shape and kinda muscular (I was hella scrawny) and emotionally cause he has a breakdown and has so many ups and downs. I put so much into this part and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to let alone audition for it, and your uploads are the only thing that keep me sane. Kat your vids have helped me through so much of my hard times from listening to the light in the piazza soundtrack when you talked about it when I got dumped and was crying at 2 am. To watching your role call video when I’ve been denied so many parts in my life so I can take a step back and realize that I could do that in the future. Your videos bring so much joy to so many people so from a country boy in a small town know you are so appreciated and even just an update video can mean a lot. Much love ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I can honestly realte about the high risk part. My mom has cancer and Its been tough and worry some because SO MUCH because its really risky. I hope you and your family the best. Honestly. My anixtey is also highering in so many ways too. I wish you a lot kat. Sending lots of love! a huge fan:)
I'm an extrovert this has hurt me I get energy from being around others so this is really getting to me I'm also living in a house with three introverts so I can even talk to them This week feels like a low I couldnt get out of bed until today But there is also another thing that is eating at me Im the middle child and I grew up with an alcohic father who really picked on me the most (he left) Ive always been the protector for my sisters AND my mom I'm scared just like most people but I feel like I can't be because im supposed to be strong I haven't been listening to much music either but for a different reason Music is a huge time marker for me So if im consistently listening to music rn it will always remind me of this time Thats all for now
You don't have to be the strong one. No one is supposed to be. This may sound egotistical, but you need to take care of yourself as much as others. Sharing your pain and concerns with people will help, I speak from experience. I hope you have a nice day!
Honestly, I’ve become introverted and extroverted at the same time. I miss human interaction and going out with my friends and have fun. But at the same time, I love being alone and not having to “be on” all the time. Musicals and Disney have been my saving grace sometimes. I get to just let go and fall into a character or song; it makes me feel better and it makes me happy. Thank you for being so genuine and raw and real. I love you and I hope you’re doing okay.
I completely understand, I've been having a hard time concentrating on schoolwork and I am in need of a break from that. I am able to listen to some musicals but I don't like thinking about my musical (as in the musical I was in), because we lost our performance space with this whole situation and we've had to postpone until god knows when. I have been rewatching glee though (with a friend on video call), and that's been making me really happy. Anyway, I understand you, we gotta stick together. excited for the vlogs! Congrats on 200k!
Kat!! I'm early!! Special message. Broadway is vulnerable right now. We must take it over. AND THEN THE WORLD! Also thank you for continuing to post! My high school's Newsies got postponed and I've loved watching your videos during this time!
I like lists so here's a list of my thoughts : - I'm doing absolutely amazing rn - I'm on my antidepressants now ayee - ur an absolute G - glee is the best show
@@beatricethetheatregeek8604 ngl I already watch so much glee that the amount of time I've l watched it in lockdown is the same. I just love glee. We should enjoy life. I enjoy watching glee. This may be the only life we have so we should enjoy it however we can, before the world ends from global warming. From ur local demigod -Cordi
Hey kat ! Btw im feeling very similar and for anxiety and lacking social intoractions watching asmr really helps my for calming and entertaining me during times like these and really all the time :) luv u !! 💓🌸
I honestly feel you, I was watching a video of Erika’s last “I See Stars” from Mean Girls and I was tearing up so much cause it made me think of my theater friends and the shows I was in and just a bunch of other things and I just miss getting to see everyone and being able to go out and enjoy life and create memories that are gonna last for a long time
I need to just be out of this quarantine. I am an extremely social person. I am currently apart of two shows, I have this huge dance coming up, graduation, and a huge camping trip. Im in Into The Woods where I am the Witch, I’m in High School Musical. Im so scared that those things aren’t going to happen. Ive been really struggling and theater is really the only thing that I have to hang onto. My anxiety is starting to come back. This has been awful for me and my family. I really understand that I am not suffering as much as others. I hope this ends. I hope everybody gets better. Best of luck to everybody. Hang in there.
I am in almost the exact same situation, I was in 3 shows, one of which was cancelled, the other was an original show that got postponed until august so our cast can't even rehearse until summer, and the other was our theater's season preview for next season, and PLUS I had just auditioned for Tarzan at my local theatre but they told us they won't be casting it until corona is over, PLUS I was going to have graduation which I had already ordered a dress for, and a band trip to six flags plus a school trip to the water park... Having my life taken away from me makes me feel like nothing, like I don't even have a purpose
hang in there!! your not alone most people in this cult are going through the same thing you are not alone! Try writing your anxious thoughts/feelings it normally helps me xx
-F r a n k i e - R o s e- I know how you feel. But now more than ever we all need support and self love. I know we have never met, but if you ever need to talk to somebody, I’m always here. :)
Well, for me musical is saving me from going down a deep depression hole. Just the thought of people dying from this devil disease makes me wanna throw up. Hamilton, Carrie, In The Heights, Beetlejuice, and SIX are pretty much saving me and I am pretty great full for this type of industry. Quiet Uptown, Stay Alive (reprise), Carrie (reprise), Atención, Alabanza, Home, Invisible (prologue) are really hitting different right now and just makes me ball my eyes out (i haven’t lost anyone but just the thought of other people losing love ones.) And thank you Katherine for making musical videos you make me feel like there is still a bit of broadway magic on RUclips (yes ik that there is slime tutorials another musical RUclipsrs) you just make me feel warm inside. Just... thank you! (this is just a random paragraph i made) And my thoughts and prayers are going out to the family and friends of the victims of this virus!!❤️
yay Kat please post all the mundane vlogs - I love hanging out with you. Quarantine's been hitting me really hard. I was barely out of recovery from a mental health relapse last year when this hit, and I'm a senior in college so I'm losing all my lasts. It's especially difficult because, even though I am a music performance major, everyone's always told me that I wasn't a good performer, so I was really looking forward to my senior recital as a way of getting some performance experience (because despite my major, I never got any performance opportunities in college) and also to show how much I've improved, and now I don't even get that. I've actually just uploaded a vlog as my way of re-re(-re?) trying my hand at youtubing, but it's from September and it's almost PAINFUL how poorly it aged! I'm also generally having trouble being creative... Thanks for checking in on US, and I hope you're hanging in well enough xx love you
Ahhhhh you care soo much!! I made a fort out of my treadmill, talked to my friends for an average of 4 hours every day (not kidding) and I can’t stop cooooking!
Truthfully, I'm struggling pretty hard. I don't feel like listening to any music at all. I just lost a pet of 16 years, just came down with the symptoms and have to self-isolate from my family, and work keeps constantly changing. I'm an RN and just found out my unit is the next to take COVID-19 patients once the current unit is full. We don't really have the supplies and I have to wear an N95 alternative due to a health condition. I honestly don't have much faith in management to get us the tools we need to care for our patients. I'm switching from 8-hour to 12-hour shifts for the entire summer and will be alternating between 48 and 60 hour work weeks for 2 months. I will say, I do love my job and I have awesome coworkers. Going to work makes quarantine a lot less tedious and I'm going to miss them for the next week while I wait for my test result and get better. My neurologist gave me the go ahead to drive again May 21, so I have that to keep me going too.
Hi Kat, I'm Emma and I'm usually a pretty positive person. 2019 was an absolutely amazing year for me with friends, achievements, theatre, and the start of senior year. Now, I've lost closure on my academic career, will be celebrating my 18th birthday at home, and am dealing with the embarrassment and disappointment of not getting into the theatre program of my dreams and picking my backup school. I've never struggled with my mental health until now, because I'm struggling to find something to look forward to after quarantine has ended because of my college future and feeling like I've let everyone down. Currently I'm just trying to create a structured routine for my day and finding positivity. I know my problems are miniscule compared to the rest of the world, but I look forward to the day I can reclaim the best version of myself. xoxo
OMG I feel you so much. My A level have all been cancelled and now I have barely any control over my grades. To top it off I don't have any University offers and my minds in such a maze I'm confused as to what I want to study any more and if the world will be an ok enough place for me to do it. Part of me wants to be a doctor but another part loves musicals and writing stories and songs soooo much. I'm usually not conflicted by it but with everything up in the air I feel I'm standing in the eye of the storm But I am following a routine too. Giving yourself stuff that you know will definitely happen every day is a nice way of feeling in control. Is it weird to say it's nice to have someone in such a similar situation, almost reassuring that we'll make it? We'll all be ok. Not perfect but healthy and breathing. That's what is important right now. (Sorry for the paragraph)
I’m kind of having a rough time. I got my school musical cancelled, and I was really looking forward to it. I got a really good role and felt really happy with how I was doing. Our opening night would have been next week. I’m trying my best to get used to quarantine though! I hope you’re doing good!
We love you too! A lot of us theatre kids know how you feel so don’t feel like you’re going through this alone and frankly we would LOVE if you posted more often talking about anything. You’re the highlight of our days so any content you post we’d enjoy!🙂🙂🙂🎬🎼🎤🎭🎟
When you said that your anxiety was through the roof, I felt that, hard. Lately my emotions have been everywhere and I just really want to get out of the house whenever I can, even if it’s just on a drive or something. For me, it’s hard to find the motivation to do schoolwork or art or anything like that, but I also think this is a good time to start to get into new musicals. I myself have been getting back into Hamilton and Matilda, and for me it’s a great time for bonding with my family. To other day I had a squirrel in my house, so that was when me and my family were really bonding and working together so we could get rid of that stupid rodent. Stay safe, everyone!
I’m new to theatre and have never seen a musical in person. My parents said we were gonna go to New York this year and I was exited because my first musical I’d ever see in person would’ve been broadway. But because of the corona, i can’t go to see it and I’m scared I’ll become a theatre kid that has never seen a musical. Sure we have bootlegs but it’s not the same. I’ll never even be in an actual theatre and I’m scared that I’ll never get to go into one. I never thought I’d be sad about never hearing anyone saying “Macbeth” in a theatre, that’s how hard this is hitting me. I know that this isn’t the worst thing at all but I’ve always dreamed about getting to see a musical ever since I found this community, but now I don’t think I’ll ever see any theatre kids in person..
•Gäçhä_Çøøkię• Hang in there! Seeing a live performance is one of the most amazing experiences, and even if you miss your opportunity to see shows on broadway, there are plenty of other ways to see and love live theatre! While nothing beats broadway, community and touring productions are still really amazing to see.
I assure you, that as loud and boisterous as we are, judgement tends to be very far away. A lot of us are heavily judged and called weird, so bringing that with us is not something we do. And you don't have to see shows to be a theatre kid, just be apart of the community. I get it. And everyone here is down to talk if you need support.
how many shows you see doesn't make you not a theater kid so don't worry about that, i'm sure you will have so many other opportunities to go and see shows this will be over soon and i'm sure you will be able to enjoy theatre as much as the rest of us do x
Quarantine is actually giving me a perfect opportunity to look into colleges near me and their theatre programs I'm interested in checking out, as well as listening to a bunch of new soundtracks for the first time!
I’m in an emotional rollercoaster because I don’t do well with online school, and I’ve been in quarantine for over a month now and it probably going to be more. So I’m sad and stressed. Your videos do entreating, but this one brought me comfort because i know someone is feeling the same as me. Thank you.
Dang. So, this is a long story, so I’m sorry. When I was 7, my dad passed away from cancer. It was an extremely rare type of cancer, and he had low chances of surviving it and he lived longer than doctors thought he would, but it was still scary and sad when he passed away. Along with dealing with and processing grief, I started developing severe anxiety surrounding my mom. I was so scared and completely convinced that something would happen to her. My thought process was “if something highly unlikely happened to my dad, then who is to say it won’t happen to my mom?”. If she left the house, I would have to call her every 10 minutes to make sure she was ok. If I went to school sometimes, I would make my teacher email her just to check. It had now been 7 years since he passed away, and I spent a lot of time going to therapy and working through my grief and anxiety. That said, however, I’m not perfect. If I call my mom and she doesn’t answer, my heart drops to my feet. If she said she’d be home in 30 minutes and 30 minute have passed, I start to panic. I am able to reason with myself a lot more that I used to be able to, but it’s not perfect. Now, my mom is re-married (to a wonderful person who I am so happy gets to be the father figure in my life) and I have some step siblings as well, who I love. It’s so scary for me because this new virus has brought up a lot of old anxieties and worries that I had spent so long working through, and I feel like I’m constantly scared. I live in Michigan now, and we are getting hit pretty hard from the virus. To add to all of this, I have ADHD and I can’t get my medication while in quarantine, which has caused a lot of stress for online school. I’m so sorry that you had to read all of that and Kat, if you are reading this, just know that I really hope that you are doing ok and that your channel helps to make my like (and I’m sure other peoples) just that much brighter. Stay safe, everyone ❤️
I’m doing better than I thought I would be in this situation. My high school production of the little mermaid has been postponed but I’m keeping positive on the idea that we will eventually do it. But I am so blessed that that is it for me. My situation could be ten times worse. Anyone who stumbles by this I hope you are doing ok and are healthy in this time. My deepest regards go out to anyone who is impacted in this situation. Stay strong ur fantastic 💖💖
I'm hanging in there! I'm lucky to live at home with my parents and older brother (we're all adults now, so it feels the same as when I was a kid but also different? idk) and surprisingly we're getting along pretty well for such extended exposure to each other and no one else. I'm the only one in my family who can't work from home, so I feel a little bit like I'm just sitting on my butt all day even though there's really nothing I can do about it. But! My brother successfully defended his Masters thesis today (on Zoom lmao) so we had ice cream and I baked cookies:) Thanks for checking in!! Sending love to you and your family
I’m doin ok, corona his hit my family hard, I haven’t been out of the house in two months and I’m startin to get a little bit depresso. And I can’t wait to get back to seeing musicals and seeing everyone happy again.
I’m hanging in there, I’m currently having virtual rehearsals for the play Hand To God where I was cast as Jessica. I LOVE my cast and my director is so passionate. It was supposed to premiere next week, but it’s suspended until August. We may not even put it up which makes me sad:( but thank you for your update Kat, we all loooove you and I hope you and your family stay safe and healthy💜Don’t put pressure on yourself to make videos. And you can definitely hold off on listening to Get Jack; it’s a long boi:)
I love hanging out with you too 🥺🥺 I’m doing well but I really miss rehersal! My shows cancelled and I miss my theatre family. I love you kat! Hope your ok
Stay safe everyone! I'm wishing you all the best! Quarantine has made me start baking and practicing violin more. After Lockdown, I'm gonna bake all my friends cakes and biscuits! Musicals, Animal Crossing and messaging my friends are a few of the only things keeping me sane and then sometimes I just feel sad, like out of nowhere! Talking to my friends and watching your videos really do cheer me up! So, thank you!
I was supposed to go see Beetlejuice on Broadway, but unfortunately my trip was cancelled due to this pandemic. I am staying home, like everyone should. But, it really frustrates me when people go out and party, so this virus would not be contained. It makes me very upset. ❤️
I was supposed to go to New York with my husband for our anniversary in March (like literally a few days after they closed Broadway so we had to cancel pretty last minute). We had tickets for Company, Six, and Hadestown. This was our first trip there, and we were super excited to see all of these original casts. Now,I’m not sure when we will get there, but I am trying to stay positive. Hugs to everyone!
Same thing. I planned a full trip with my boyfriend and I was supposed to see Beetlejuice, six, Hadestown, west side story.. a play binge. It would’ve been his first time seeing broadway shows and now it’s been cancelled. I hope beetlejuice is able to move to another theatre cause that’s the one he truly was excited to see.
@@parkermelodyy13 I think you mean to Facebook live church or Zoom church 😂 My church has been holding services over Zoom. We're small enough that we can do that.
You just asked how I was, and I realized I wasn't doing really great I lost my grandpa because of the coronavirus, but life still goes on and I still have to work for my essaies and I'm really tired. I relate so much of what you say. I can't watch movies because it takes me so much energy that I don't have right now even if it's my passion. I'll get better, we'll all get better, but for now it's pretty tough Thanks for being here, you're a ray of sunshine, and most importantly, take care of you
I know exactly how you feel it's a really bittersweet time and I try to be productive and music has always been a way for me to relax but it's hard when everything's closing so yeah very bittersweet
Whenever I am watching one of your videos and I wanna watch another one you always post one. You are a great youtuber and I admire you co much. # Musical Theater for Life
Feeling like I’m losing control of my life so I’m trying to do one thing every day that makes me feel good whether it’s doing my makeup or expressing myself creatively through different platforms. Love you so much Kat, I’ve been watching your videos so much lately
Kat, I love your videos. I don't remember commenting on a RUclips video since like 2008, but you're right that the quarantine is a huge perspective shift, and even as someone who's usually pretty introverted I'm finding it painful to not be around -- just be around -- the people who care about me and who I care about. I've been there where my own experience has enough of its own emotions that I just can't handle reading/watching powerful books/films/shows. Even years past it hasn't completely faded, but it does make you really appreciate the strength of the story you're living and the stories that others around the world are living. Reminders of the recent non-quarantine past hurt and I have been finding that even when I am very happy these days, and knowing that I'm on the path I want to be in in life, making progess, living well, getting things done, etc., it's easy for some reminder to put me on the edge of tears. It's just weakness, lol, and some kind of inability to appreciate everything I have, but I do think it's fair that there has been, nonetheless, a huge loss. Invisible, sure. But I really -- really -- underestimated and took for granted how nice it was to make plans for the future that I truly expected I could carry out, or to meet new people, or develop budding friendships, or to just be truly unintentional and learn/witness/experience life anyways. It hurts to lose all that. And I feel you -- we're going to figure this out, and make the changes we need to make to be whole again. Thank you for sharing, and I'll step away from the mike now.
Awww Kat! This has been rough. I’ve been listening to only a few musicals mostly because they have very uplifting music or give me all the good vibes. I’ve been buying cute little craft kits because they make me happy! This self isolation hasn’t been hitting to hard because I am an introvert but sometimes I do feel lonely. At this point you literally are my best friend! Thanks for that! 💞
Ryleigh, you have a lot of friends. More precisely, 200k. We love the fact that you're a musical fan, we love the fact that we have Kat as a common friend, we love your introvert-ness, we love YOU. Sending love and support from Spain to wherever you are!
Hi, long time Theater Thursday Fam here, I've been watching since brunette Kat with the Les Mis poster background. Things have been really tough but your light and joy has always made me feel better, now more than ever. Thank you so much for sitting down and having this conversation, and for overall being amazing.
This pandemic is bringing me into a depression unlike I’ve ever experienced. I miss doing stuff. I miss broadway. Most of all, I miss my boyfriend. We’ve been at each other’s side for about 3 yrs even though we’ve officially only been dating for about 10 months. Now we haven’t seen each other in person for a month and a half. We have done video chats on zoom, but it’s not the same. I get you, Kat. Every musical I listen to hits differently because broadway is shut down. Beetlejuice straight up makes me cry because of their abrupt final performance. Six is making my heart break because they were supposed to open the day Broadway went dark
This is the one time I've had space in the day to listen to musicals, so far I've listed to great comet of 1812, rag tuke , phantom of the opera and Moulin rouge.
Thank you for being such a positive presence on RUclips. I've been a viewer since 2016 and you have always been a creator who manages to bring so much joy to your audience. I've even used your early college audition advice videos when applying to theatre schools myself! Stay safe and healthy to you and all the Theatre Thurday Fam!
You’re ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! I love seeing you being your honest self. Stay POSITIVE! Things are really tough. But it’s great that we can all talk together ❤️❤️ CONGRATS ON 200K OMG THE CULT IS RISING

When you asked "How are you?" I nearly started crying- I've not handled this quarantine well
Sunny Side_up2236 I wanna give you a virtual hug 🤗 🥺🥺❤️
I’m so sorry :( it sucks that you feel that way, I know exactly how you feel, we’ve all been there. My city went into lockdown in February and lemme tell you-it was *rough*. The first few weeks are so incredibly tough because you just have to go through your everyday life but in one space. I felt like I was being boxed in, suffocated. Don’t worry, these feelings WILL PASS! my friends who have anxiety and depression have it a lot worse, I understand that. just try to get to a point of acceptance where it’s a “I get that this is happening and I’m going to try to make the best of it.” Allow yourself to feel all the emotions and don’t suppress anything-it’s just going to help the pain thrive because you’re keeping it all in. cry to a sad movie, laugh to a standup set, yell at whatever makes you angry. It’s healthy to express your emotions.
Try and find calmness within yourself, try a meditative app, coloring apps and books works for me sometimes. Don't pressure yourself, don't get anxious by others behaviour. Keep safe keep strong! 💞
Sunny Side_up2236 same and I hope your doing good
Sunny Side_up2236 same... I miss my boyfriend, and friends.
honestly ive been listening to waitress a lot and crying when jenna says her whole "dear baby i hope someday somebody wants to hold you for 20 minutes straight" line bc GOD i want somebody to hold me for 20 minutes straight
The only thing keeping me sane right now is animal crossing...
ME !!!
i felt that
@@Kath_Steele send dat friendcode gurl!!
Yeah, SAME!!!!
@@Kath_Steele Same for me, maybe we could make a musical theater cult get-together on the game??
Katherine, I'm so upset. The musical of my dreams was cancelled, Les Mis, and we have been told that we won't be doing it because the girl playing Eponine is leaving the school in September. So my dream role, since I was 7, has been taken from me. Normally I wouldn't be this dramatic but the last time I ever spoke to my great grandma was singing castle on a cloud down the phone to her when she was in hospital. So it means so much to me to do Les Mis. And now I will probably never get to do it. So I feel awful.
Poppy, be as dramatic as you want. We get you. I'm so sorry for you, but if you were doing Les Mis (wherever!) I can assure you that other opportunities will show up. Maybe you get to do it again, or maybe you grow fond of a character that you absolutely hated. Sending you all my love, support and strength from Spain to wherever you are
I feel you, I cried for probably 4 or 5 hours because our show was cancelled the day before the performance AND I WAS IN ENSAMBLE
@Poppy Efemey I'm sorry that your show was cancelled.
@@miriamcq thankyou 😭❤️
@@maddiem.9368 aw I'm sorry girl x i know exactly how you feel
You know bad things have gone down when Katherine says she can’t listen to musicals. D&d and broadway have literally been my escape from the world.
Sorry but what’s D&D?
Jess P.R. I’m pretty sure it stands for the game, Dungeons and Dragons.
The fact that musicals have shut down really doesn’t “ban” me from listening to cast recordings and it doesn’t make me sad listen to musicals since I have never even seen one, which is kinda sadder since I probably won’t be able to for a long time. Stay safe everyone
I'm trying to listen to upbeat musicals - I can't handle waving through a window right now :(
same !!
I can't listen to DEH and Hamilton so I'll listen to Heathers, Mean Girls, Rent, BMC, Legally blonde, Six, etc.
I feel like all of this doesn’t seem real. Like I’ve been trying to stay positive but things don’t look good for me. I live in New Jersey and we have a lot of cases and it’s scary to see people I know get corona.
Hang in there! I live in Texas and I’m so thankful that I don’t know anyone who has it as of now.
Victoria the Rat same. At least here at the jersey shore, my escape has been the beach, and they have closed off all the boardwalks. Stay safe ❤️
same with me, i think we’re second in the country. i’m pretty sure i’m not going back to school this year
Victoria the Rat Same but it seems like cases may be going down and schools are supposedly opening on may 15 so maybe stuff are gonna go back to normal just find something to distract you from all of this
Nicole Gerstenberg the governor of Texas just cancelled school for the year and Bexar County (San Antonio) is requiring everyone to wear masks in public
The only way I can describe my situation is with falsettos: “IIIIIII DONT GET IT!” And “IM BREAKING DOWN!!!”
Jonathon Malowany omg same
Omg meee
I've been listening to falsettos way to much in lockdown and let me tell you it's not good for my mental health XD like I usually skip the last few songs bc I'll just start crying lol
Jonathon Malowany YESSSS SAME
Just remember as the wildcats say
"were all in this together" so lets make them proud
Yaaassss 🤣
oh my god that’s wholesome and amazing 🥺
together, together, together everyone!
I read that in dylan saunder’s voice 😳
What team?
my best friend is moving tomorrow because she has to leave the state before we go on lockdown, and we thought we had until the end of the school year with her. i’ve definitely had better days
Why does she have to leave the state before lockdowns? And why the heck hasn't your state already locked down for a while now?
UK has been on lockdown for 2-3 weeks now
@@ItsAsparageese from the comment, I'm guessing that she was going to move to somewhere outside out their state and they can only do so now by leaving before their lockdown restrictions are put in place.
I'm so sorry to hear that 💞 Friends being far away, especially in times like this can be so difficult. Facetiming, phone calls, zoom parties, texting, etc. have been saving my sanity. Also, this might sound super cheesy but whenever I had a friend move or I moved, I just kept thinking of that old saying "True friends are never apart, maybe in distance but never in heart". I know it's not the same, but just because she's moving doesn't mean she's gone forever. Your love & friendship is still there!! 💞 Sending you lots of love
Hey, I had a close friend move a state away abruptly, it's not a fun time. But it might reassure you to know we still talk a bunch, he comes to visit between uni terms and we're still just as close. It sucks not being able to see your friend but I hope you can stay close to each other.
Also, fun question: anyone else been hit by those invasive thoughts that say you’re doing nothing with you’re life or you’re never gonna make it and feeling like you can’t do anything about it?? ... cause same ... stay safe though guys I love you 🥺💖

@Eve Jasper I see you. I accept you. I fear for my safety around you. 💜
Abigail Keehn yea..
It's funny you mentioned BJ cuz this is the album I've been going to right now......
“Right now I’m just craving very simple, very homey activities.” This is totally me, Kat. I’ve been watching movies, tv and RUclips like crazy; and while that isn’t unusual for me, this amount is probably unhealthy. I haven’t gone past my balcony in over three weeks which is so weird because usually I get the most insane cabin fever, but right now just seems safe and cozy staying home which I feel like is something we are all searching for in this time of such turmoil. I even brought out my sewing kit that I was given as a birthday present as a young girl- which I legitimately have not touched in eight whole years- because the rhythm of sewing is so simple but it’s something completely different to focus on other than everything happening.
Musical wise, I’ve been watching so many pro shots both of musicals and just straight plays as well as listening to cast recordings that I haven’t before and taking this as a new opportunity to expand my horizons. I live in a really small city town so I didn’t see that many shows to begin with, on top of the fact that I’m still building up the baseline talent to be in a show myself so I haven’t really been feeling like I’m missing out on that. Seeing them is more of an occasional treat as much as I would like it to become something more regular. Problem is though, I know so many people and friends who were cast in musicals or were playing in the pit for one or doing backstage and none of them get to do that anymore and I become really sad for them when I let myself think about it too much.
Also I wanted to suggest Discord if you’ve been wanting more human interaction. It’s a platform used for voice and video chatting and can support those things over gaming. My friends and I use it all the time and I think it’s a really easy way to keep in touch- and totally came to mind when you were saying about how you want to talk to us. I know other youtubers that host servers and it works really well.
All my love in these difficult times. We totally support you if you are feeling stressed or lonely or anything! Sending lots of hugs xxx
Hi Kat! As a fellow at risk individual (albeit younger), I really appreciate this right now. My entire family went under lock down 5 weeks ago as well. My mental health is crap right now. Thank you so much for being honest about this it is so important to have a conversation about this
Edit: also I have only listened to one show during this. I had never hear waitress before quarantine but I have listened through multiple times a day almost every day.
i saw the title and my heart literally just DROPPED.
the last time i've even STEPPED OUTSIDE was march 20th. our production of high school musical has been postponed before it even started. my trip to nyc in may has been cancelled, i was gonna see the broadway cast of six. i've been watching more musicals and have been dream casting shows with my friends, covering songs on tiktok and kind of going insane- that's how life has been going for me so far.
happy 200k kat!! that's all i got to say.
Lex Jianna how do you get your food
I’m so sorry to hear that 😕💕 but I’m so happy that musicals + friendship are helping!!!!
I had a school production that has been postponed before it has started too. My drama teacher was going to give me a part even though I'm a year group too young because she has seen my acting in a few of the older student's shows and I was so excited. If things carry on like this for much longer I might be the right age anyway when it starts!
The Six fandom is together in mourning
My trip was canceled too 😣☹️☹️ I was gonna see Hadestown.
For me personally right now I’ve been only listening to musicals, I don’t know why it’s just very comforting for me at this scary time.
same
same
me too. i think it’s because musicals make you feel like you’re apart of the story and you’re not focusing so much on what’s actually happening on your own life while you’re listening to a musical.
Dreamy same here! I’ve been obsessed with Les Mis, it makes me feel hopeful when I listen to it :’)
same ♡
I miss being home alone and singing as loud as want with no one judging me!😂
Yes!! 😭😭
Same😭❤️
ugh same!!!!
THIS!!! 👆🏽👆🏽
Same
Kat, this is the most genuine online friendship I've ever seen. The fact that, without knowing us, you care about your viewers so much is so heart-warming. I'm really glad you and your family are ok. How are your friends? Trevor, Noah, Julia, Dana, Jack...? My family is fine, thank God, although the situation here in Spain is getting very though. One of my brothers is in the Navy and we can't talk to him a lot because he is Kenya on duty, but thanks so much for asking. Quarantine is tough, I'm a High School teacher and e-classes are crazy. I understand your phase of not listening to musicals, however, I found that if I binge on a musical with my family (obviously not a sad one) I can use it to spend quality time with them. For example, we love Singing in the Rain and we watch it together, almost quoting the entire movie, we have a blast but not for the musical, but bc we do it together. Maybe it works for you too. Glad your fine, I love you!
A part of me dies every time someone calls this 'the new normal'. I'm personally finding it imperative to view this as temporary or I'm not going to be able to keep going. I was seven shows into my first lead in a beautiful show before the full lockdown started. It was cancelled and the threatre company really isn't handling it well. It feels like they're throwing away all our hard work like it was nothing, but doing everything they can to preserve the musicals. Ours and one other show got cancelled and they were the only two straight plays set for this season, but all of the musicals are only postponed. I don't know, it just feels unfair to me. Also that show was kind of all I had, so it feels like I have nothing now and I'll still have nothing when things return to normal.
Also I wish people would stop preaching productivity/positivity on social media. So long as everyone is staying home and doing what they can to stop this, they're doing enough. everyone should be allowed to cope with this in their own way. everything about this is horrible and it sucks and we should be allowed to talk about that without trying to put a positive spin on it, there's a difference between being supportive and being condescending, but not many people have figured that out. You've nailed it though, Kat. Thank you for being real. Thank you for this video.
Congratulations on getting a lead role. So sorry to hear about your play being cancelled.
I love how you said: "this cult" so calmly and kindly

It's social suicide
DEFINITELY craving human interaction, but this quarantine has had the opposite effects on me, I’ve been watching non-stop bootlegs and been binge listening some cast recording I’ve never got the chance to fully give some time to listen too. I also love the show must go on Andrew Lloyd Webber shows, and any other pro shots I can find.
POTO 25th livestreamers represeeent! Somehow after listening to the soundtrack a thousand times and already seeing the whole show, it still gave me such chills.
I FEEL so much when you said, “I didn’t process my emotions” My show was canceled and I just moved on, I never processed how bad that was, like 5 months of work gone! I hope your doing well cuz i’m really not.
i feel you girl!! my show grease got canceled and it was the best show of my life. i can’t listen to any theater tunes or i’ll think about grease and i’ll get sad. but hang in there!! we’ll get through it as the theater community together!! ❤️❤️
as a senior in highschool i feel like i've lost a lot of things, but i've been trying to make the best of it! been using creativity as an outlet in many ways like making my friends gifts and making yt vids. i spent the day watching broadway bootlegs and crying over shows and it's definitely a different feeling watching shows that aren't playing in real time. thanks for such an authentic and wonderful video!!
Fellow class of 2020 student here! I feel the same way. We will get through this. Wishing the best for you! :)
Another fellow graduate, we’ll get through this!
ive had a lot of stuff bottled up with this quarantine and it’s been really effecting my mood and people around me. my dad went to work (he works in a building by himself) and my mom got groceries. i was alone in the house and started belting, as any theatre kid would do. now i’m so much happier!! it really helped me realize how life changing theatre is for me. so many things have been happening to me and others that have just been comforting and that just put me in a good mood in my life. i’m trying to make anyone’s days better that i can. much love ❤️
also random note: IT STARTED RAINING RIGHT WHEN THE CHORUS STARTED OF DON’T RAIN ON MY PARADE! WHAT?!
OMG that's the best thing ever with the rain timing! But also I think the rain should've listened to the song lol
I’m still belting even though my parents are home 😂
Katelyn W big mood 😂
“I’m home alone so I started belting” a mood 😂
WHERE DID YOU FIND YOUR PROFILE PIC?!
I haven’t been this early since Catherine of Aragon was still queen!
We received news yesterday that my school play was shut down...that hit hard. It was the first time I’d had a semi-lead role, and now that I can’t play that, I’m really down. And I get what you’re saying about not listening to musicals. The more I listen, the weirder it feels. It doesn’t feel right.... so I’m incredibly grateful for you to be able to work from home and keep me in some good spirits.
I'm currently in 8th grade and my school was going to have its first ever drama club production 'Beauty and the Beast'. I was given the honor to portray Belle. I thought it was the best way to end my time at the school. But because of all of this, it turned one of my favorite musicals into a sad reminder of what I am missing out on. But luckily, my amazing Drama Club teacher is going to work with the high school and district administration to ensure that the current 8t graders can play their role as 9th graders!
i have truly never felt this alone, when you asked “how are you ?” i almost started to cry
quarantine has made my mental health worse than ever and i live in constant fear of what’ll happen next. (i live in new york, where it’s bad)
school keeps getting pushed farther and farther and i have a feeling we aren’t going to go back. the world is shut down and it’s just so scary. it honestly feels like the apocalypse.
and katherine, i know exactly what you mean. i can’t listen to musicals either, it just makes me sadder than i already am. i hope everyone is okay and i wish the best for everyone right now❤️
Hey friend, I totally understand what you’re going through. I am incredibly privileged to be able to zoom with a lot of my friends and such, but it’s truly not the same. (Also my love language is physical touch so I’m kinda touchstarved) if you talk about life/just have some kind of human interaction about literally anything dm me on insta @tghorse22 (or just reply to this, or whatever, idk what I’m doing or saying or anything anymore)
Kath, thank you
Just thank you
We needed this
At least I did
Thank you
And I hope you can get better
I hope we can help
Love you darling
Sending you so much love 🥰🥰
Online school is stressing me out so much. I just miss the way things were. Ive been listening to musicals because its at least one thing that makes me happy
Some artists have singalongs online, and National Theater in England have a youtube channel with one free play to see each week! Right now up until Thursday, Treasure Island!
Ulrika Trygg Andrew Lloyd Webber shows are also free every week. “The Show Must Go On” is the channel; currently they have Phantom of the Opera until Sunday at 11.
How am I?! Well I like most have been trying my best to remain emotionally stable and honestly, it hasn’t worked very well. Then I looked into your channel (my friend told me about you). I was instantly wowed by your level of passion and love for the theatre. Your channel has become the best part of every day for me and I’m glad I found your little (or should I say big) cult. Thank you❤️
200k Kat I’m so proud of you! And your video have been really helping me get through this really hard time ❤️
me, less than one minute in: crying
magical bane me: in general
“Sonya Alone” is hitting hard and different right now
The fact that you genuinely care about us and how we are doing is incredibly sweet
Honestly, it changes every day. I lost my job, and I’m supposed to move to a new state, which, without a job, is stressful figuring out how I’m going to make ends meet. But on the bright side, I’m planning to start my Master’s degree online in the fall, so there’s a good thing! My extroverted self is dying for human interaction, but there’s great internet resources that have helped me stay connected with old friends and even make some new ones. Your content is a bright spot in my feed, and I’m so grateful for your sunshiny presence. ❤️
I literally NEEDED THIS SO BAD I just got the info that due to the time a musical I’ve been prepping for an entire year is cancelled and I am so heartbroken right now I had to do an entire change first vocally I am a baritone and he’s a tenor so I worked my belt up to a C5 which took SO LONG cause I wanted to do it the healthy way and not hurt myself, and physically so I could be in shape and kinda muscular (I was hella scrawny) and emotionally cause he has a breakdown and has so many ups and downs. I put so much into this part and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to let alone audition for it, and your uploads are the only thing that keep me sane. Kat your vids have helped me through so much of my hard times from listening to the light in the piazza soundtrack when you talked about it when I got dumped and was crying at 2 am. To watching your role call video when I’ve been denied so many parts in my life so I can take a step back and realize that I could do that in the future. Your videos bring so much joy to so many people so from a country boy in a small town know you are so appreciated and even just an update video can mean a lot.
Much love ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I can honestly realte about the high risk part. My mom has cancer and Its been tough and worry some because SO MUCH because its really risky. I hope you and your family the best. Honestly. My anixtey is also highering in so many ways too. I wish you a lot kat. Sending lots of love!
a huge fan:)
ur mom sending you & your family so much love 💖💖
I'm an extrovert this has hurt me
I get energy from being around others so this is really getting to me
I'm also living in a house with three introverts so I can even talk to them
This week feels like a low
I couldnt get out of bed until today
But there is also another thing that is eating at me
Im the middle child and I grew up with an alcohic father who really picked on me the most (he left)
Ive always been the protector for my sisters AND my mom
I'm scared just like most people but I feel like I can't be because im supposed to be strong
I haven't been listening to much music either but for a different reason
Music is a huge time marker for me
So if im consistently listening to music rn it will always remind me of this time
Thats all for now
You don't have to be the strong one. No one is supposed to be. This may sound egotistical, but you need to take care of yourself as much as others. Sharing your pain and concerns with people will help, I speak from experience. I hope you have a nice day!
This video feels so relaxing and it’s like I’m actually talking to her. Have a great day! Congrats on 200k! Here before 1 million!
Honestly, I’ve become introverted and extroverted at the same time. I miss human interaction and going out with my friends and have fun. But at the same time, I love being alone and not having to “be on” all the time. Musicals and Disney have been my saving grace sometimes. I get to just let go and fall into a character or song; it makes me feel better and it makes me happy. Thank you for being so genuine and raw and real. I love you and I hope you’re doing okay.
I completely understand, I've been having a hard time concentrating on schoolwork and I am in need of a break from that. I am able to listen to some musicals but I don't like thinking about my musical (as in the musical I was in), because we lost our performance space with this whole situation and we've had to postpone until god knows when. I have been rewatching glee though (with a friend on video call), and that's been making me really happy. Anyway, I understand you, we gotta stick together. excited for the vlogs! Congrats on 200k!
Kat!! I'm early!! Special message. Broadway is vulnerable right now. We must take it over. AND THEN THE WORLD!
Also thank you for continuing to post! My high school's Newsies got postponed and I've loved watching your videos during this time!
Yeah mine got cancelled too. Which suck cause i was playing my dream role of Katherine. Im so sad for my cast, the crew, and my director :(
Yeah my newsies production did our first 2 days, then we had to cancel. It's hard as a senior but im grateful we at least got to peform somewhat
@@cousinit823 today would have been our first show. Im also a senior 😣

Last time I was this early Broadway was still open
too soon... too soon

Dude. Still an open wound.

I like lists so here's a list of my thoughts :
- I'm doing absolutely amazing rn
- I'm on my antidepressants now ayee
- ur an absolute G
- glee is the best show
Good for you, I have no idea who you are, but I'm so proud of you, and lmao I was just binge watching Glee yas
@@beatricethetheatregeek8604 ngl I already watch so much glee that the amount of time I've l watched it in lockdown is the same. I just love glee. We should enjoy life. I enjoy watching glee. This may be the only life we have so we should enjoy it however we can, before the world ends from global warming.

damn kat, I really needed a video from you today, thanks for cheering me up
Hey kat ! Btw im feeling very similar and for anxiety and lacking social intoractions watching asmr really helps my for calming and entertaining me during times like these and really all the time :) luv u !! 💓🌸
I honestly feel you, I was watching a video of Erika’s last “I See Stars” from Mean Girls and I was tearing up so much cause it made me think of my theater friends and the shows I was in and just a bunch of other things and I just miss getting to see everyone and being able to go out and enjoy life and create memories that are gonna last for a long time
ohh my god i watched that video and burst into tears
I need to just be out of this quarantine. I am an extremely social person. I am currently apart of two shows, I have this huge dance coming up, graduation, and a huge camping trip. Im in Into The Woods where I am the Witch, I’m in High School Musical. Im so scared that those things aren’t going to happen. Ive been really struggling and theater is really the only thing that I have to hang onto. My anxiety is starting to come back. This has been awful for me and my family. I really understand that I am not suffering as much as others. I hope this ends. I hope everybody gets better. Best of luck to everybody. Hang in there.
I am in almost the exact same situation, I was in 3 shows, one of which was cancelled, the other was an original show that got postponed until august so our cast can't even rehearse until summer, and the other was our theater's season preview for next season, and PLUS I had just auditioned for Tarzan at my local theatre but they told us they won't be casting it until corona is over, PLUS I was going to have graduation which I had already ordered a dress for, and a band trip to six flags plus a school trip to the water park... Having my life taken away from me makes me feel like nothing, like I don't even have a purpose
hang in there!! your not alone most people in this cult are going through the same thing you are not alone! Try writing your anxious thoughts/feelings it normally helps me xx
-F r a n k i e - R o s e- I know how you feel. But now more than ever we all need support and self love. I know we have never met, but if you ever need to talk to somebody, I’m always here. :)

Well, for me musical is saving me from going down a deep depression hole. Just the thought of people dying from this devil disease makes me wanna throw up. Hamilton, Carrie, In The Heights, Beetlejuice, and SIX are pretty much saving me and I am pretty great full for this type of industry. Quiet Uptown, Stay Alive (reprise), Carrie (reprise), Atención, Alabanza, Home, Invisible (prologue) are really hitting different right now and just makes me ball my eyes out (i haven’t lost anyone but just the thought of other people losing love ones.) And thank you Katherine for making musical videos you make me feel like there is still a bit of broadway magic on RUclips (yes ik that there is slime tutorials another musical RUclipsrs) you just make me feel warm inside. Just... thank you! (this is just a random paragraph i made) And my thoughts and prayers are going out to the family and friends of the victims of this virus!!❤️
a l i c e 🥺
Alabanza is hitting different for me also
Lucy Kampta ❤️❤️🥺
yay Kat please post all the mundane vlogs - I love hanging out with you. Quarantine's been hitting me really hard. I was barely out of recovery from a mental health relapse last year when this hit, and I'm a senior in college so I'm losing all my lasts. It's especially difficult because, even though I am a music performance major, everyone's always told me that I wasn't a good performer, so I was really looking forward to my senior recital as a way of getting some performance experience (because despite my major, I never got any performance opportunities in college) and also to show how much I've improved, and now I don't even get that. I've actually just uploaded a vlog as my way of re-re(-re?) trying my hand at youtubing, but it's from September and it's almost PAINFUL how poorly it aged! I'm also generally having trouble being creative... Thanks for checking in on US, and I hope you're hanging in well enough xx love you
Ahhhhh you care soo much!! I made a fort out of my treadmill, talked to my friends for an average of 4 hours every day (not kidding) and I can’t stop cooooking!
Truthfully, I'm struggling pretty hard. I don't feel like listening to any music at all. I just lost a pet of 16 years, just came down with the symptoms and have to self-isolate from my family, and work keeps constantly changing. I'm an RN and just found out my unit is the next to take COVID-19 patients once the current unit is full. We don't really have the supplies and I have to wear an N95 alternative due to a health condition. I honestly don't have much faith in management to get us the tools we need to care for our patients. I'm switching from 8-hour to 12-hour shifts for the entire summer and will be alternating between 48 and 60 hour work weeks for 2 months. I will say, I do love my job and I have awesome coworkers. Going to work makes quarantine a lot less tedious and I'm going to miss them for the next week while I wait for my test result and get better. My neurologist gave me the go ahead to drive again May 21, so I have that to keep me going too.

Stay strong you can do this🙏💪💝
You can do this!! Sending you virtual hugs and support 💜

Hi Kat, I'm Emma and I'm usually a pretty positive person. 2019 was an absolutely amazing year for me with friends, achievements, theatre, and the start of senior year. Now, I've lost closure on my academic career, will be celebrating my 18th birthday at home, and am dealing with the embarrassment and disappointment of not getting into the theatre program of my dreams and picking my backup school. I've never struggled with my mental health until now, because I'm struggling to find something to look forward to after quarantine has ended because of my college future and feeling like I've let everyone down. Currently I'm just trying to create a structured routine for my day and finding positivity. I know my problems are miniscule compared to the rest of the world, but I look forward to the day I can reclaim the best version of myself. xoxo
OMG I feel you so much. My A level have all been cancelled and now I have barely any control over my grades. To top it off I don't have any University offers and my minds in such a maze I'm confused as to what I want to study any more and if the world will be an ok enough place for me to do it. Part of me wants to be a doctor but another part loves musicals and writing stories and songs soooo much. I'm usually not conflicted by it but with everything up in the air I feel I'm standing in the eye of the storm
But I am following a routine too. Giving yourself stuff that you know will definitely happen every day is a nice way of feeling in control. Is it weird to say it's nice to have someone in such a similar situation, almost reassuring that we'll make it?
We'll all be ok. Not perfect but healthy and breathing.
That's what is important right now.
(Sorry for the paragraph)
I wanna give you a virtual hug 🤗🥺❤️😔
Angel Mtani 🥺❤️❤️
That sounds really tough, I'm so sorry for all the things you've lost out on. It's amazing that you're trying hard to stay positive. Keep at it!
Giving you a virtual hug! I’m also having my 18th birthday in quarantine!
I’m kind of having a rough time. I got my school musical cancelled, and I was really looking forward to it. I got a really good role and felt really happy with how I was doing. Our opening night would have been next week. I’m trying my best to get used to quarantine though! I hope you’re doing good!
ahh omg same
eustial ღ I’m sorry! Hoping the best for you right now!
I hope that both of you guys recover and that you get to be in a good role when this mess is over!
Daliah loves Disney Thank you!
So sorry your show got cancelled 😕 I hope you get to do an awesome show soon!! 💗💗
We love you too! A lot of us theatre kids know how you feel so don’t feel like you’re going through this alone and frankly we would LOVE if you posted more often talking about anything. You’re the highlight of our days so any content you post we’d enjoy!🙂🙂🙂🎬🎼🎤🎭🎟
Love you Kat, and I’m so so glad you’re safe. I’m happy to be part of this amazing little cult
When you said that your anxiety was through the roof, I felt that, hard. Lately my emotions have been everywhere and I just really want to get out of the house whenever I can, even if it’s just on a drive or something. For me, it’s hard to find the motivation to do schoolwork or art or anything like that, but I also think this is a good time to start to get into new musicals. I myself have been getting back into Hamilton and Matilda, and for me it’s a great time for bonding with my family. To other day I had a squirrel in my house, so that was when me and my family were really bonding and working together so we could get rid of that stupid rodent.
Stay safe, everyone!
Coffee Mug Pug I’m giving you a virtual hug 🤗 🥺❤️

I’m new to theatre and have never seen a musical in person. My parents said we were gonna go to New York this year and I was exited because my first musical I’d ever see in person would’ve been broadway. But because of the corona, i can’t go to see it and I’m scared I’ll become a theatre kid that has never seen a musical. Sure we have bootlegs but it’s not the same. I’ll never even be in an actual theatre and I’m scared that I’ll never get to go into one. I never thought I’d be sad about never hearing anyone saying “Macbeth” in a theatre, that’s how hard this is hitting me. I know that this isn’t the worst thing at all but I’ve always dreamed about getting to see a musical ever since I found this community, but now I don’t think I’ll ever see any theatre kids in person..
•Gäçhä_Çøøkię• Hang in there! Seeing a live performance is one of the most amazing experiences, and even if you miss your opportunity to see shows on broadway, there are plenty of other ways to see and love live theatre! While nothing beats broadway, community and touring productions are still really amazing to see.
I assure you, that as loud and boisterous as we are, judgement tends to be very far away. A lot of us are heavily judged and called weird, so bringing that with us is not something we do. And you don't have to see shows to be a theatre kid, just be apart of the community. I get it. And everyone here is down to talk if you need support.
@@chlowiththeflo7278 couldn't have said it better
how many shows you see doesn't make you not a theater kid so don't worry about that, i'm sure you will have so many other opportunities to go and see shows this will be over soon and i'm sure you will be able to enjoy theatre as much as the rest of us do x
Sending you SO much love!!!! I hope you’re able to see ALL THE SHOWS when life returns to normal 💖💖💖
They hit so different 🥺
Quarantine is actually giving me a perfect opportunity to look into colleges near me and their theatre programs I'm interested in checking out, as well as listening to a bunch of new soundtracks for the first time!
Hey, at least you can take the time to research.
I’m in an emotional rollercoaster because I don’t do well with online school, and I’ve been in quarantine for over a month now and it probably going to be more. So I’m sad and stressed. Your videos do entreating, but this one brought me comfort because i know someone is feeling the same as me. Thank you.
Dang. So, this is a long story, so I’m sorry.
When I was 7, my dad passed away from cancer. It was an extremely rare type of cancer, and he had low chances of surviving it and he lived longer than doctors thought he would, but it was still scary and sad when he passed away. Along with dealing with and processing grief, I started developing severe anxiety surrounding my mom. I was so scared and completely convinced that something would happen to her. My thought process was “if something highly unlikely happened to my dad, then who is to say it won’t happen to my mom?”. If she left the house, I would have to call her every 10 minutes to make sure she was ok. If I went to school sometimes, I would make my teacher email her just to check. It had now been 7 years since he passed away, and I spent a lot of time going to therapy and working through my grief and anxiety. That said, however, I’m not perfect. If I call my mom and she doesn’t answer, my heart drops to my feet. If she said she’d be home in 30 minutes and 30 minute have passed, I start to panic. I am able to reason with myself a lot more that I used to be able to, but it’s not perfect. Now, my mom is re-married (to a wonderful person who I am so happy gets to be the father figure in my life) and I have some step siblings as well, who I love. It’s so scary for me because this new virus has brought up a lot of old anxieties and worries that I had spent so long working through, and I feel like I’m constantly scared. I live in Michigan now, and we are getting hit pretty hard from the virus. To add to all of this, I have ADHD and I can’t get my medication while in quarantine, which has caused a lot of stress for online school.
I’m so sorry that you had to read all of that and Kat, if you are reading this, just know that I really hope that you are doing ok and that your channel helps to make my like (and I’m sure other peoples) just that much brighter. Stay safe, everyone ❤️
Ashley Kennedy awww thank you! Sending one right back ❤️
I’m doing better than I thought I would be in this situation. My high school production of the little mermaid has been postponed but I’m keeping positive on the idea that we will eventually do it. But I am so blessed that that is it for me. My situation could be ten times worse. Anyone who stumbles by this I hope you are doing ok and are healthy in this time. My deepest regards go out to anyone who is impacted in this situation. Stay strong ur fantastic 💖💖
Dude I was doing the little mermaid too! I’m so sad.
I was doing Beauty and the Beast 😭
History has it’s eyes on usssssss!
I’m doing ok thx for asking!😀

This makes me feel like Lydia in "Invisible (Prologue)" and "Home" as in I don't feel like this is right and I'm on an entirely different planet...
Regina Ratliff It weird going through this time period
I'm hanging in there! I'm lucky to live at home with my parents and older brother (we're all adults now, so it feels the same as when I was a kid but also different? idk) and surprisingly we're getting along pretty well for such extended exposure to each other and no one else. I'm the only one in my family who can't work from home, so I feel a little bit like I'm just sitting on my butt all day even though there's really nothing I can do about it. But! My brother successfully defended his Masters thesis today (on Zoom lmao) so we had ice cream and I baked cookies:)
Thanks for checking in!! Sending love to you and your family
I’m doin ok, corona his hit my family hard, I haven’t been out of the house in two months and I’m startin to get a little bit depresso. And I can’t wait to get back to seeing musicals and seeing everyone happy again.
Yoda Folders I now give you virtual hug🤗🥺❤️
I’m hanging in there, I’m currently having virtual rehearsals for the play Hand To God where I was cast as Jessica. I LOVE my cast and my director is so passionate. It was supposed to premiere next week, but it’s suspended until August. We may not even put it up which makes me sad:( but thank you for your update Kat, we all loooove you and I hope you and your family stay safe and healthy💜Don’t put pressure on yourself to make videos. And you can definitely hold off on listening to Get Jack; it’s a long boi:)
I love hanging out with you too 🥺🥺
I’m doing well but I really miss rehersal! My shows cancelled and I miss my theatre family. I love you kat! Hope your ok
Stay safe everyone! I'm wishing you all the best! Quarantine has made me start baking and practicing violin more. After Lockdown, I'm gonna bake all my friends cakes and biscuits! Musicals, Animal Crossing and messaging my friends are a few of the only things keeping me sane and then sometimes I just feel sad, like out of nowhere! Talking to my friends and watching your videos really do cheer me up! So, thank you!
You are my favorite RUclipsr right now. I have been watching all of your videos and I love them. Thank you for making this. :)
I was supposed to go see Beetlejuice on Broadway, but unfortunately my trip was cancelled due to this pandemic. I am staying home, like everyone should. But, it really frustrates me when people go out and party, so this virus would not be contained. It makes me very upset. ❤️
Same 😢 I was supposed to see it tomorrow
Me too... I was supposed to see the 8pm show on the day they closed Broadway at 5pm. If only I had gotten tickets for the matinee!!
I was supposed to go to New York with my husband for our anniversary in March (like literally a few days after they closed Broadway so we had to cancel pretty last minute). We had tickets for Company, Six, and Hadestown. This was our first trip there, and we were super excited to see all of these original casts. Now,I’m not sure when we will get there, but I am trying to stay positive. Hugs to everyone!
Same thing. I planned a full trip with my boyfriend and I was supposed to see Beetlejuice, six, Hadestown, west side story.. a play binge. It would’ve been his first time seeing broadway shows and now it’s been cancelled. I hope beetlejuice is able to move to another theatre cause that’s the one he truly was excited to see.
I am so happy I am not alone! Hopefully we all get to see the shows we wanted to see after quarantine. ❤️❤️❤️

You just asked how I was, and I realized I wasn't doing really great
I lost my grandpa because of the coronavirus, but life still goes on and I still have to work for my essaies and I'm really tired. I relate so much of what you say. I can't watch movies because it takes me so much energy that I don't have right now even if it's my passion. I'll get better, we'll all get better, but for now it's pretty tough
Thanks for being here, you're a ray of sunshine, and most importantly, take care of you
You’re so sweet🥰 your channel is amazing and I love how you take the time to check in with us
I know exactly how you feel it's a really bittersweet time and I try to be productive and music has always been a way for me to relax but it's hard when everything's closing so yeah very bittersweet
Whenever I am watching one of your videos and I wanna watch another one you always post one. You are a great youtuber and I admire you co much.

Feeling like I’m losing control of my life so I’m trying to do one thing every day that makes me feel good whether it’s doing my makeup or expressing myself creatively through different platforms. Love you so much Kat, I’ve been watching your videos so much lately
Kat, I love your videos. I don't remember commenting on a RUclips video since like 2008, but you're right that the quarantine is a huge perspective shift, and even as someone who's usually pretty introverted I'm finding it painful to not be around -- just be around -- the people who care about me and who I care about. I've been there where my own experience has enough of its own emotions that I just can't handle reading/watching powerful books/films/shows. Even years past it hasn't completely faded, but it does make you really appreciate the strength of the story you're living and the stories that others around the world are living. Reminders of the recent non-quarantine past hurt and I have been finding that even when I am very happy these days, and knowing that I'm on the path I want to be in in life, making progess, living well, getting things done, etc., it's easy for some reminder to put me on the edge of tears. It's just weakness, lol, and some kind of inability to appreciate everything I have, but I do think it's fair that there has been, nonetheless, a huge loss. Invisible, sure. But I really -- really -- underestimated and took for granted how nice it was to make plans for the future that I truly expected I could carry out, or to meet new people, or develop budding friendships, or to just be truly unintentional and learn/witness/experience life anyways. It hurts to lose all that. And I feel you -- we're going to figure this out, and make the changes we need to make to be whole again. Thank you for sharing, and I'll step away from the mike now.
Stay safe. Be calm. We all love you and you are appreciated
Awww Kat! This has been rough. I’ve been listening to only a few musicals mostly because they have very uplifting music or give me all the good vibes. I’ve been buying cute little craft kits because they make me happy! This self isolation hasn’t been hitting to hard because I am an introvert but sometimes I do feel lonely. At this point you literally are my best friend! Thanks for that! 💞
Ryleigh, you have a lot of friends. More precisely, 200k. We love the fact that you're a musical fan, we love the fact that we have Kat as a common friend, we love your introvert-ness, we love YOU. Sending love and support from Spain to wherever you are!

I’m frustrated that my first professional booking was canceled, but I’m largely doing well trying to keep up spirits
I’m doing relatively well, just got done watching the 25th Phantom Anniversary with my family. It always manages to put me in a good mood😁
Hi, long time Theater Thursday Fam here, I've been watching since brunette Kat with the Les Mis poster background. Things have been really tough but your light and joy has always made me feel better, now more than ever. Thank you so much for sitting down and having this conversation, and for overall being amazing.
I TOTALLY feel you. I’ve been avoiding showtunes and I really thought something was wrong with me, evidently I am not alone! Thanks for sharing!!!
This pandemic is bringing me into a depression unlike I’ve ever experienced. I miss doing stuff. I miss broadway. Most of all, I miss my boyfriend. We’ve been at each other’s side for about 3 yrs even though we’ve officially only been dating for about 10 months. Now we haven’t seen each other in person for a month and a half. We have done video chats on zoom, but it’s not the same.
I get you, Kat. Every musical I listen to hits differently because broadway is shut down. Beetlejuice straight up makes me cry because of their abrupt final performance. Six is making my heart break because they were supposed to open the day Broadway went dark
This is the one time I've had space in the day to listen to musicals, so far I've listed to great comet of 1812, rag tuke , phantom of the opera and Moulin rouge.
"When our long night is done, there will be light."
Thank you for being such a positive presence on RUclips. I've been a viewer since 2016 and you have always been a creator who manages to bring so much joy to your audience. I've even used your early college audition advice videos when applying to theatre schools myself! Stay safe and healthy to you and all the Theatre Thurday Fam!
