Michael Ball is absolutely precious! He seems so down to earth and genuine, I felt like we were watching a conversation rather than an interview. I saw him in Sweeney Todd and he was literally breath-taking, you're so lucky Carrie! x
And then a few years later she was performing with him again in Les Mis, again! This video came up on my recommendations (I may have been binging a lot of Carrie videos during lockdown) and it was so nice to see it again. The Cameron Blakely story with the cat still makes me cry with laughter!!
Hi Carrie, thank you very much for sharing your talking with Michael Ball. Last sunday he played "A man without love" by Engelbert released in 1968 in his Radio Show on BBC 2.. Simply a very good song, my generation. He is an amazing guy. He loves all the melodies which comes from the bottom of the heart.. He just knows what sounds great.
Words cannot express how much I adore Michael Ball :D he is my idol and inspiration, and his voice... to die for!! I love him and I'm so jealous of Carrie :p
I went to see you two for my 6th birthday doing chitty chitty bang bang! Probably the best day of my childhood, this is so odd but it must be so lovely for you both! Ahh nostalgia is a beautiful thing
Carrie, I saw you in CCBB with Michael, twice. You both were amazing! Shame I won't see you in Les Miz before you leave, but break a leg in your next show. ❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶
Oh my goodness I grew up watching him as Marius in the 10th Anniversary recording!! It's so lovely to see him in this sort of setting. Thanks for sharing things like this, Carrie! Your success is very motivating.
Every musical theatre fans dream is to work with Michael ball. You are so flipping luky to have done that also can we have a video of just funny things that have happened at les mis cos i loved that meow cameron blakely story hahaha xx
really lovely surprise to see this pop up on my feed because I'm such a big michael ball can after repeatedly watching the tape version of the 10th anniversary for les mis!! honestly very happy that you got to do this with him :)
I love Alison Krauss! Her song Down to the River to Pray is amazing. (Also Sweeney Todd is favourite musical - I can't even express how much excited I would be if Carrie was Mrs Lovett!!)
Wow. What a wonderfully charismatic man. He seems like such a warm gentlemen, I feel like he'd be so much fun to hang out with, and visit for tea. Gosh darn you, Carrie, for all these people you know!
Ah this is amazing Carrie! Love him in Les Mis and Hairspray and basically everything he's ever done. That is incredible that you've gotten to work together and you still keep in touch! I really wanna get his album :)
This is a really lovely interview! Well done as a 'host' Carrie, this was natural, fun and very watchable. I'm sure you've noticed but having the chairs turned to the camera a touch more would have been good. But really, HOW did you not eat those cakes!! They look great! om. :)R
I shouldn't stay up way past my bedtime to watch this video with my first stage crush in it but if there is a better channel to do it on, I don't know what it is! Oh, this was so wonderful! Thank you!
I saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang around 12 years ago.. I can't remember exactly when, and I wouldn't know if you were on that exact day anyway but regardless it was a magical experience!! :D I saw Michael Ball in Hairspray too and he was so funny. Nice video. :)
This is such an interesting,informative chat with lots of funny moments. It's evident that Michael loves what he does. Lucky for us that he shares his musical talent with us. I am never disappointed when I listen to any of his albums. I'm sure this next one will also be great.
This makes me so happy! I love Michael Ball, and he's such a fantastic talent. This looked like a lot of fun for you too, so thank you for sharing it with us!
It's so lovely to hear people talking about music for the reason I love it- recording studios, beautifully produced, crafted albums. It's getting too rare :/ xxx
Oh this video made want to cry! I love Michael Ball! Two of my favourite people in one video!! I hope to see another video of you both together again or better yet, you two in a show together again!!! Thank you for the video Carrie, you are adorable together! :D
i just realised i must have seen chitty chitty bang bang when you were in it - i knew michael was in it but it's weird that when i saw it aged 4 i was watching you but i didn't know!
Absolutely loved this! Also now you've mentioned playing Mrs Lovett I can't get the idea out of my head and I really need that to happen, you'd be brilliant!
Fun Fact : My gran missed my birth because she was at a Michael Ball concert.
Your gran has her priorities 100% sorted out.
Michael Ball is absolutely precious! He seems so down to earth and genuine, I felt like we were watching a conversation rather than an interview. I saw him in Sweeney Todd and he was literally breath-taking, you're so lucky Carrie! x
CARRIE!!!! I AM IN LOVE WITH MICHAEL BALL!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!!
Fun fact: I accompanied Michael Ball twice with my orchestra. He's lovely, and he gave us all a pep talk before the concerts. Lovely chap!

Can't believe Michael has recorded the True Blood theme. love it! x
And then a few years later she was performing with him again in Les Mis, again! This video came up on my recommendations (I may have been binging a lot of Carrie videos during lockdown) and it was so nice to see it again. The Cameron Blakely story with the cat still makes me cry with laughter!!
OOOH SHIT Michael Ball is amazing! My 10th anniversary Les Mis CD is my favorite! He is a king of musical theater!
that was the album that got me into Les Miserable 😊
Me too!!
Same! Michael's version of Empty Chairs at Empty Tables makes me cry sweet little tears every time!!
I have not listened to the complete symphonic, I'll have to give it a try! And I agree, his empty chairs is so beautiful. Give me all the feels.
Watching this the day she announced she would be returning to the show as Truly Scrumptious! Look how far you've come! So proud of you Carrie xx
That's so cute that the two of you were in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang together! I love Michael Ball, and this just makes me really happy.

I loved seeing someone who inspired you and I could see your happiness and the memories you described! Love you carrie!!
There's something so beautiful about listening to people talk with such passion and evident love for what they do.
Why is nobody eating those cakes! ;P
Omg just thinking the same thing. They look sooooo good!
Oh my goodness I grew up watching him as Marius in the 10th Anniversary recording!! It's so lovely to see him in this sort of setting.

I really love Once. Falling slowly especially. Lyrically it's beautiful. I'd actually quite like to hear it as a solo
You have the most lovely community of fans...I've just been scanning the comments and everyone is so nice!

This was great Carrie but I have a question.
Those cupcakes were there the whole time.....
HOW DID YOU RESIST THEM FOR NEARLY 10 MINUTES?!
I was wondering that too, pretty much all I did was stare at them
They look so good.... Dammit now I want one.
Mrs Lovett is my dream role. It makes me so happy that Carrie also loves the character
I am so excited to know he enjoys Allison Krauss, she is an amazing singer and musician. Very loved here in America. Country/ Bluegrass/ artist.
What an incredible man.
Wow her hair is amazing. I cant stop staring. Michael Ball is the bomb
carrie is literally the definition of perfect can we just
I love Alison Krauss! Her song Down to the River to Pray is amazing. (Also Sweeney Todd is favourite musical - I can't even express how much excited I would be if Carrie was Mrs Lovett!!)
Michael Ball has the loveliest speaking voice! And singing voice too, obviously ☺
Oh mY GOD THIS IS TTHHEE MARIUS. HE IS TTTHHHHHEEEEE MARIUS.
Carrie, you're such a wonderful interviewer! You're charming and warm and funny and friendly and just an absolute natural!
Wow. What a wonderfully charismatic man. He seems like such a warm gentlemen, I feel like he'd be so much fun to hang out with, and visit for tea. Gosh darn you, Carrie, for all these people you know!

I LOVE hea ring about all of these little stories on stage! So funny!
I went to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when you were in it! Must've been about 7. It's what made me catch the musical bug xx
Michael Ball singing Bob Seger. I need to hear this!!!!
Oh my gosh I love Falling Slowly and Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band - Micheal Ball seems like such a lovely man!
This is a really lovely interview! Well done as a 'host' Carrie, this was natural, fun and very watchable. I'm sure you've noticed but having the chairs turned to the camera a touch more would have been good. But really, HOW did you not eat those cakes!! They look great! om. :)R
I love Michael Ball so much! One of my favourite west end stars! I made an in-human noise when I saw the title of this video
I shouldn't stay up way past my bedtime to watch this video with my first stage crush in it but if there is a better channel to do it on, I don't know what it is!
Oh, this was so wonderful! Thank you!
Love Michael Ball! You're a great interviewer Carrie, very relaxed and genuinely interested!! Xx
Still remains to be one of my favorite Raoul's out there

Gorge interview, you're great at this Carrie :)
Although the history might have helped the chemistry a bit, still a great job. Love it :D!

Falling Slowly is one of my favourite songs.
Such a Michael Ball fan, he's awesome :)

You and Emma are the most inspiring people ever. Such amazing personalities.
In love with Michael Ball!
What a lovely interview Carrie. I really enjoyed that. Also got me curious what other mischief happens during a performance.
It's so lovely to hear people talking about music for the reason I love it- recording studios, beautifully produced, crafted albums. It's getting too rare :/ xxx
Aww Once is my favorite musical! So moving! xx
The first musical I ever saw was Chitty with you two! And now I'm a musical theatre addict hoping to go into the theatre
I just realized who Michael Ball was and I almost squealed! I love Michael Ball! He is just so amazing!
I don't know why I never watch this video! What legends you both are. ☺ xxx
My jaw dropped when I found out he did 'Falling Slowly.' MAN, I need to hear that!
How amazing would it be if Michael came and saw Carrie in Chitty later this year?! Xxx
+Bea Taylor I'm sure he will
loved hearing you guys swap stories (especially the cat story)!
Oh this video made want to cry! I love Michael Ball! Two of my favourite people in one video!! I hope to see another video of you both together again or better yet, you two in a show together again!!! Thank you for the video Carrie, you are adorable together! :D
5:23 Carrie: ... and I'm on my own...
Michael: Pretending he's beside me.
That was so quick. Nice one! 🤣
I saw chitty chitty bang bang in the west end when both Michael and Carrie were in it!
Carrie you are so good at singing and you should really release an album
One musical Legend, and a rising one in the same room!
Gahh!xx I love both of you! :)
Aw he's so nice!
who would think you would be playing Fantine alongside his Javert, and your one of the main actors!
Wow Michael Ball is such a legend!
I did a little squeal when you mentioned Sugarland, I've never met anyone that's heard of them before!
Really? Interesting! Sugar land has been on my iPod ever since I got one! (it was my sister's before mine)
Michael ball is my jam
His album comes out on my Birthday!
Chitty was the first and only musical I've seen with the original cast. Crazy that it was so long ago
Such a lovely guy, and a brilliant actor. Blew me away in Sweeney.
ok i just realised that i saw both of you in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!! and I saw Michael in Sweeny Todd recently and it was incredible!
I love Michael Ball so much 💕❤️💕❤️💕 this is like my two favourite people in one video
