i’ve fallen in love with west ends heathers after watching carrie’s vlogs
Same omg
same here omg. it gives a backstage look which i love because then you can see how the real actors are like backstage and not just their character
I mean who wouldn't??? Ahahahaha. Same here. I sti go back to her Veronica Vlogs and Big Fun Friday Vlogs. Currently im watching New Wave Wednesdays with Hannah Lowther of the current Other Palace Cast.
Sameee
Bear in mind, that those vlogs only show a very tiny and deliberately positive view of things. Not neccessarily the reality.
As a theatre technician it makes unbelievably happy that they are talking about everything backstage
Having done some work in stage management, it’s just the loveliest that Jodie is so empathetic and grateful for the work of the tech crew. It can be extremely intense backstage because we try our absolute best to make the actors shine (even though we aren’t seen) and sadly actors often don’t realise the constant checking, double checking and damage control that goes on to make sure they have a seemless show every night. As for the calling DSM, they are definitely the heroes of the show and it’s such a shame the audience has no clue about the amazing work they do!!
I think it was for the Addams family musical your, there's was an interview with the DSM, and you got to see a bit how she worked. Watching these vlogs and Carrie's vlogs during the pandemic, it makes me very emotional. Pleas, how do you get a job back stage, please?
That’s not accurate. It’s more that actors and tech are basically two different departments and we don’t interact all that much because we have very different jobs and we work on a precise schedule. As actors we spend the vast majority of our time with other actors, and techs work with other techs. I don’t see ASMs or SMs hanging out with our dressers, etc. For the most part our contact with other departments is limited to whatever needs to be done. Especially when it comes to professional shows. That said, actors DEPEND on stage management & in professional productions we take very good care of our stage management if they are doing a good job. A bad SM is a shitshow & I’ve gone through that too. We KNOW what it takes backstage to get us on, keep us lit, and sounding halfway decent.
JODIE IS SUCH A SWEETHEART! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER AS KATHERINE HOWARD IN THE SIX UK TOUR!
Same I’m so excited
I saw her and met her and she is soooo nice and is amazing
I met her @ six and she complimented my voice 🥺
isn't it crazy how Sophie, Jodie, and Aimie play as Katherine Howard?
Jodie is heather c again
I'm glad Paul talked about the backstage crew. While actors do have the most difficult job, they're only 10% of what goes into a show.
I wouldn't say that the actors have the most difficult job, likewise I wouldn't say that the crew have the most difficult job. ALL jobs in the theatre are equally difficult. Maybe the actors have the most TIRING job, but in terms of difficulty, it's at the same level as the crew, potentially even easier than the crew.
+Rosie Curwen I agree. I was in no way trying to discredit anyone involved in a musical. It's just from my point of view the actors are performing in front of hundreds every night which is way more that what I could do.
As an actor I can say WE HAVE THE EASIEST JOB! Techies are truly the most resilient people I give them all the credit to keep the show going.
Since people don’t come to see the second sound tech, let’s not, k?
the 2 dislikes are from ram and kurt
Marci Matthews Comment of the year ✅😂
I train at at theatre college to do stage management, it's amazing how much credit they give us techies , so proud to be a techie and love how much they really do appreciate us !!!
Me too, the recognition is nice
JODIE IS SO FREAKING CUTE
I love when people actually talk about crew!! And I rarely see lighting people in backstage tours.. which is my department! LOVE IT!
JODIE ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THE JOB AND NEEVES OF CREW! I ran my first show as stage manager last week and controlled the curtains which controlled the show, and to an actor or audience member you may not think it as being ahrd except the curtains at my school are manual and the curtains cue the lights and music as well as actors. I’m currently so annoyed I didn’t know about this last year but I aim to work in theatre as soon as i can.
ALSO: crew panic that they will let the whole show done!
its always cool to know whats happening backstage, all roles involved with theatre are just as important as one another-so im glad they got to talk about that!! also jodie seems so sweet bless
I majored in technical theater as a props master in University so it’s nice to hear how everyone in the cast appreciates their backstage crew because that doesn’t always happen!
I love stuff like this. In GCSE drama we had to put on a 20 minute play with someone as the stage manager it was hard work it took us about 4 lessons to learn everything we needed to know as well helping the stage manger and I fill like if I don't become a musical theatre actress I would love to work in props and doing that play in drama helped me with that
I hope I get to do that as apart of GCSE drama that would be just fun but we only have lights and no mics
@@goodjobeli we didn't use mics but we had lights it's diffrent in every school.
Saw it on the 8th of November. Absolutely phenomenal! JD had me sobbing
i love learning about all the backstage stuff that goes on. thus far i've only really done community theatre where i acted and helped do stuff backstage on a smaller scale, but i love backstage work and i love learning about all the tricks for shows.
saw this in august, honest to god a dream come true! i met jodie steele afterwards as well, she was such a sweetheart. best experience and its awesome to find out more abt backstage stuff too
moon Amazing show and Jodie is lovely
Its certainly nice to be appreciated... As a Sound 1 its certainly nice to be spoken about!
I love this!!! thank you so much
loved this so much! and jodie is just the sweetest 🥺
Amazing coverage!
This is so interesting, I saw the show last week and with this video and carries vlogs I sometimes knew what was happening backstage which is really cool 😂❤️
jodie is super nice so it’s a little scary when she plays heather chandler soooo well
There are TWO guitarists in this production?!
I see heathers tomorrow
Tbh I was quite surprised a Theatre appreciation group didn't already know this stuff!!!
Also, for those wanting to go into the backstage side.....I did a stage management degree at drama school in the 90s.......& of the 25ish people in my year, less than a quarter are actually working in the theatre!!!!!!!! Good luck for those who do, but, thats the reality.
Id love to work in a theatre, with anything really. I'll go pester my local theatre for any jobs, even box office seems loads of fun
AAAH! I was there! #BestMusicalEver
hope it comes back
Really happy this was uploaded because it’s like I’m there but not even though it’s finished
❤️💚💛💙🖤
What is the bricks and the steps made out of including like the doors and the hinges for it and how did the set get made in general why don't you make a video about how the Set is made
It would be so lovely to work backstage and I own so much black lol
🤗🤗💕💕❤️❤️😭😭😘😘😘😘
I'm going to see this on the 23rd will I be able to get an autograph with the cast
Alycia Broadbent I think so, if you go to stage door, you may get an autograph but it depends who is doing stage door that night and how many people there are
+Scout Forbes thank you hoping I do because I've seen carrie before in chitty chitty bang bang and wasn't able to get her autograph
@@lissie8602 Quite a few of the actors come out regularly, but Carrie doesn't do it very often :/ Good luck though, hope you see her!
+[Kill]Joy is a Firebreather thank you and I hope so
In the beginning Carrie Is just on her phone lol
wait when? time stamp?
I wonder why Carrie has that huge dressing room to herself if all the heathers' share that little one
Rebecca because she is the main character and she works better gathering herself in her own room i guess
Wouldn't it make more sense to give her the smaller room to herself to give the heathers more space is more what I was thinking
Rebecca yes I’m not sure ? :/ maybe it’s just best for their characters and they’re comfortable in the room
I think that room 10 has always been the principle dressing room

Stay awesome corn nuts ✅
It can’t be the real Queen’s signature because members of the royal family are not allowed to sign anything for the public like autographs and such.
I used to be a Follow Spot Operator, in fact I know the guy who ops the Spot with the guy who came with the show. It does make me sad that it's a dying art :-/
Also love what Masterclass and Theatre Craft do to open doors for young people to get into backstage and Theatre! Thanks for sharing this tour!
MolticaAndThePuppets we’re glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your nice words!
Not very exclusive with Veronica vlogs and all
Tabby Prager thanks for your input
