Helloooo! Hope everyone is okay! Just remember you're valid and loved :) I hope you are all okay. Stay safeee
HI!! You to! Hope you had a great day ❤️🤍
@@roscoestanley4858 AHH my day was good ! How was yours :)
@@sophiehare3131 good! And mine was stressful but it was good Thankyou!
thank you, i had a super bad anxiety attack at work this morning and have been feeling kinda yucky since, your comments always brighten my day!
@@baylay1062 hey! Hope your okay tomorow will be a better day I promise ❤️
while I've never been in a theatrical production, I do think the fact that everyone's a hormonal teenager going through puberty in general, regardless of the "wanting the lead" role, would also be a major contributor to the drama cliche
Yeah I definitely think that's a factor!
Community theatre is FULL of adults only wanting lead rolls who end up being in the ensemble. There is a lot of bitterness and resentment that always ends in petty and childish behaviour in the cast.
I and many others were on the receiving end of a theatre friend who created an anonymous blog where they decided to give "honest" reviews of shows which basically means trashing the shows completely. The site was taken down quite quickly and it was a few years after that I found out it was a friend. It was soul crushing and to this day I get so anxious when I get the opportunity to play a leading roll.
You need a tough skin when working in community theatre!!
I am in high school and the theater cliche is actually quite the opposite. I am a freshman and most of them are seniors so they are really nice and supportive. But some people will be really weird to you if you got a better part but then they are not really the theater kids “friends”
I'm a theatre historian and the number of stories about dank and frankly dangerous theatres in the 19th century are shocking, they had open sewers running though the dressing rooms and they wondered why the actors kept dying of cholera.
Ok but theatre historian is such an awesome job
I think doing an “assumptions about having a famous sibling” would be interesting! Like people are always asking you in IG Q and A’s if you get roles because Tom’s your brother.
I work in musical theatre at my house I’m a fully trained coloratura soprano
The fact that you're filming this in between your stints on stage is the epitome of cool. I'd be a freaking out, stage fright, nervy mess. Just shows how much theatre is your home from home. It's just lovely Xx
Cant believe that you were filming this video while I was sat in the audience SOBBING over Rob's Empty Chairs At Empty Tables 😭
4:10 Is that rob singing Empty Chairs at Empty Tables 😂
Is it weird that Carrie referring to Oli as her boyfriend still makes me giddy like two years later???
Nope. Same hahaha
Still makes me giddy too!
@@Carrie someone as wonderful as you deserves someone as wonderful as Oli ❤️
Anyone that is working with Carrie is winning at life
Carrie herself is winning at life!
@@clemmiemayhew456 that’s so true
@@roscoestanley4858 PEROIDT
Loved the ice cream assumption on your Instagram stories - if only!
There was an usher at my theatre (who has now retired) who thought it was acceptable and appropriate to bring HER OWN ice cream from home and eat it in the interval, rather than you know, do her job, because our ice creams were too expensive! I thought the AUDACITY. But she was one of the old OGs who had an old house manager who let them get away with anything and never got challenged! 🤦🏻♀️
Hearing the show going on in the background made me very emotional, I missed live theatre so much! 💛
Carries really out here blessing every day with vlogmas
I can hear Rob singing Empty Chairs, my HEART
As a techie it was lovely to hear you actually talk to them, we have some am dram principals who think they’re too important to talk to us 😂🎭
I love your job, it has been my dream job since I was 4 yrs old. I'd be happy working at front of house, even selling programmes.
This is so fun to see what others think and Carrie's side to them !!!
To be honest, my life would be satisfied if I was in the ensemble of an off broadway, broadway or west-end show. I would never ask for anything else
I would love an "assumptions on being an author" 💕
you don’t know how excited i get when i hear the intros of these videos 🥺🥰
I coincidentally used the same music for my vlogmas so it’s cool to hear the same one! Carrie’s is far prettier and festive
@@AmberWoodMusicx yay! Your doing vlogmas!!! I will subscribe ❤️
@@roscoestanley4858 thank you so much! only if you like!🥰
@@AmberWoodMusicx I’ve just watched the first one and it’s great looking forward to watching more! X
@@roscoestanley4858 thank you so much! means the absolute world!
You seem so happy and alive and vibrant in this video! I can tell that you are so excited to be back in your passion. Lots of love!
I totally get where you said that the smell of an old theatre, no matter what, even dead mouse makes you nostalgic. As a child, we lived on the edge of town. Across the street was the start of rural so there were cows and manure and ponds with stinkweed and rotting reeds, not far away was a brewery so the mash stunk up the air and if I close my eyes, it's like the smell of playing outside on summer evenings when all that whafted in.
i love this casual chat about theatre, it’s so lovely. the atmosphere of this video is just like a conversation and i just love it very much!! thank you carrie!
Loving how it's always the wedding scene in the bg as that is your moment of downtime in LM 💗
Watching your Vlogmas vids, I surprise myself when I realize I am smiling!! Thank you for making me feel unchristmassy in my uni room!
I am so excited to see you working with Ivano!! He has an AMAZING voice!
This was super insightful. I always love to watch these theatreish type videos, they give so much information about what goes on in the industry behind the scenes. Thanks so much for doing this! 🎭
Love these videos, thanks Carrie!
the perfume thing is so clever! now i want to know what perfumes you've used for each role.
I love watching these videos it’s so interesting learning about what goes on behind the scenes
The perfume is such a sweet idea 🥺 I can imagine it would really take you back to certain moments in your life.
This is such an interesting video and I love learning more about theatre
Omg I have been waiting for this 😂😂😭
loving these vlogs! Nice thing to relax to after a day of online uni!
Your christmas tree and decorated clock looks so festive. I love it 🥰😍
Hope everyone has had a great day! Remember your loved and if nobody has told you today your beautiful! Don’t let anyone bring you down because your strong and powerful no matter what size or shape or anything! Your perfect don’t ever change for someone else ❤️
Thank youuuuuu :)
@@sophiehare3131 any time ❤️
i love to listen to les mis like this when you're filming
this are so helpful!! I'm currently at drama school so this are so good for us!! thanks carrie xx
Ahh I love these types of videos!! 😍
As someone who loves theatre I always enjoy these kinds of videos. So insightful. I love how passionate you are about your job. The whole kissing before you hugged thing with Oli makes me laugh. It me think of the first video you two did together when you spoke about there being too many kisses in the show 😂 “inching closer and closer together bleh” and the rest as they say is history 😜
It's just so lovely to see Carrie back in a Theater :)
Just letting you know you are the only vlogmas I am watching because I love you. Thank you for the videos!
Carrie, thank you for sharing your opinion, so lovely to see you chatting with us!
Have bright and joyful days 💚🥰🎉✨
Yay more Carrie Hope Fletcher!
Carrie💟I love your southern accent imitation for y'all when you read the first assumption comment. That person is in 'my assumption ' [LOL] likely from one of the southern states of the USA. I live in Texas. A high number of Texans seem to at times use 'y'all" in almost every other sentence. Especially in small rural towns. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
I'd love to see the ring you got for the Fantine role
Thank you!!! I really want to do theater one day and these vids help me learn a lot thanks!!!
The opening line of this video is perfect 😅
I just saw the Les Mis concert tonight it was incredible!!!! I’ve been a huge fan of yours for agessss and seeing you live was insane I’m still not over it hahahaha. Anyways if anyone gets a chance to see this production DO IT you won’t regret it!!❤️❤️
Personally, I think anyone who has a dream to perform, even getting a paid acting job, in whatever way, is something to tell your mates, especially as it's such a difficult profession
I don’t think anyone cares but I saw Les Mis on the night Carrie filmed this video and it was amazing 😁😁
good evening everyone!!
Very good video. I really enjoyed the questions and the answers. Great insight into the life of a stage actor. Would like more of these.
Thank you for continuing to make videos despite you success outside of it
I love that about the perfume, I've never heard of that before. I just got my first call back last night for Anita for West side story 😁😁 I am way excited and I don't want to think too far ahead but if I do get it I am going to do that perfume thing. Smell definitely has a way of bringing back memories and I love this ❤️❤️
I'm rooting for you! Wish you all the best
@@aflowerthatcannotbebloomed You're so sweet ❤️❤️ thank you so much!
The tech team assumption makes me laugh so much as some of my closest friends I've met were the actors on stage when I was there techie ( carrie thank you for debunking this 😂)
It's really nice to see Carrie back in a dressing room ❤️
Thanks for answering my question 😊 made my day!
Really enjoyed this! Makes me miss my drama filled high school days :P
Would you do one of these with a book/author theme? That'd be really interesting
Would love to see a video of what songs you sang in your auditions for certain things!!
You talking about that opinions are fine but you have to stay respectful... I'm just so thankful. I've always believed that, and it's beautiful to see someone I really look up to doing that the best they can.
This is lovley 💜💐
Love this video! Hope everyone is feeling happy and healthy ❤️❤️ Ive always wondered, I know the sound guys turn off your mics when you’re off stage and they are super on it, but can they hear what you’re saying when you’ve got the mics on offstage? I don’t suppose there’s any feed through them I just wondered, much everyone ❤️❤️
God when you said your not in the show at my stomach dropped HARD I know I need to learn to take rejection but it makes me feel so bad about myself ;-;
Would love to see a video about each perfume for each of your roles 🖤💙
I was not expecting your face to pop up on the Keith Lemon charity single 😀
I think my last theatre drama was when me (the sound girl) became emergency understudy and had to learn the lines of a main role in the week before the show because the actress kept showing up late or calling in sick so they were prepared to cut her and replace her with me if she did it again 🤦♀️😂
A writing theme one would be good.
What other perfumes did you use for other roles?
hi carrie!!
I asked the question about social media and public image. I asked because in the jobs I've had (government/council) I've had my social media controlled very tightly and I am not allowed to appear on TV in case it shows me speaking for government
I think it is becoming more common in a lot of industries these days (especially in the public sector) that public imagine/ social media can be somewhat monitored by organisations. I work for the NHS and there are certain terms in contracts about discussing matters with media and posting on social media. However as Carrie mentioned (especially when not in the public sector, therefore little to no government involvement) there is such a grey area on what organisations can actually do to control individuals social media usage and unless you are slandering an organisation what really can they do about it. Such an interesting concept though.
@@hannahb195 Thats very true, I've seen people fired for posting online however and it was fairly mild. I asked the question as well because I've seen some actors speak out against certain things and the rest of the cast not agree and that kind of thing. It's super interesting to me what's said before hand. I usually get a big lost of things we can't talk about
To be honest in every job I've had there's been a clause in the contract about not bringing the company into disrepute. And I think if you did something unacceptable or "out of line with the company's values" on social media, they could use that clause to suspend or fire you.
And these weren't jobs where you were a "public figure". These were admin and shop assistant jobs.
What was veronicas perfume!!!!
You should maybe do it about being a author! That’s exciting :))
As someone who has lived Les Mis for quite a long time-do you think you know every word to every song? Be interesting to see! X
Carrie saying y'all is all wrong 😂😂😂
Never knew Carrie has Channel, cool!
Local theaters in the US do not usually pay swings on nights they don’t perform. I’d love to be a swing if I always got paid cause I love stepping in last minute and am good at adapting but it doesn’t pay the bills doing small but professional theater
Another difference between youth theater and professional theater is that age/how old you look matters. In my school’s production of Annie the guy who played Warbucks was only 1 year older than the person playing Annie and in professional theater that would never happen. Sometimes the parts u can play will in a certain show will be limited due to a variety of things such as looks and vocal range. Like if you’re an alto in the Les Miz cast, you’re probably not gonna be able to play/sing Cosette so why would u be jealous of whoever is playing her?
Ok , I have this curiosity hahahahaha. When and how and who does the customs laundry ?
Think people thought that being Front Of House meant I got to meet all the actors, but that rarely happens, apart from awkwardly exiting out of stage door when they're doing a meet and greet on the odd occasion
I'm really curious about mics and stuff. For each cast member, is there one person in the... sound place (?) controlling whether your mic should be on or off? Or is it one person who does it all? Or one person per couple of characters? Not sure if I worded that right but I'm really curious 😂🎤🎚
For most shows there are a few "sound people" but for any given show only one person works the sound desk (aka sound place :) ) for all the mics and sounds effects. A guy called Andy who worked backstage (He is Lighting from what I remember) at the Addams family has a vlog about sound at Addams th-cam.com/video/CwacT1f0n3A/w-d-xo.html
That being said, it would be cool to have Carrie chat to the sound team at Les Mis and see how they do it :)
@@LovelyLawla Thank you so much! That's so cool! Thank you I will watch that video 😄
That would be very cool! 😃😊
Thank you again 😊
i’ve never clicked SO FAST
What other perfumes have you worn?
what’s your veronica perfume?
Ello! I hope all the peeps are good! I had an idea that is you want to do another assumptions video, but not just based on theatre, you could do a book writing one? Just an idea!
I love you all! Xx
now this is intrestig becuae the theater company im in if you audtion no matter what you will be in the ensamble
I never really felt like there was any drama between cast members in school plays over anything. There was a little drama over stuff like that in my gcse drama class, and an occasion where I got an award for hard work and progress and several people had a go at my teacher (like literally shouting at her) because they didn't think that I deserved it (ngl, that was a low point). But where I personally felt like there was drama and bitchiness was at my uni's Amateur Dramatics Society, mostly because it was just really cliquey, it got to the point where I wanted to leave but was one of the committee members of the Society so couldn't really do that, our final show was cancelled due to covid (with only a few days notice) and despite the fact that I'd worked so hard to get it all together, I was really happy that I didn't have to be associated with the group again.
I remember in secondary school getting one of the main roles and people being suuuuuuper bitchy about it... looking back it makes me laugh that people were really that annoyed about a secondary school production but I guess in the moment it's everything!
Pure jealousy and unfortunately not everyone grows out of it! It can be so competitive especially if parents put pressure on you. You can’t rlly win in that sort of situation but glad you got that role!
Same! I went to the auditions, but one girl who was planning on auditioning couldn't be there cause she ended up in hospital the night before (we weren't friends). When the cast list came out and I got the lead (bear in mind she hadn't even auditioned) she got her mum to write a formal letter of complaint to the school about me, about how I apparently bullied her child because she didn't get the role and I did, and said some quite hurtful things about my apparent lack of ability... So they let this girl audition. I still ended up in the lead 😂
@@lilyk5898 oh my god what a story😅
@@lilyk5898 oh my god! imagine thinking thats bullying😂😂 Another time there were auditions for the school panto (it was like Cinderella gone wrong, one of my teachers wrote it) and this one girl made a huge deal about how the auditions were unfair because the teacher was gonna pick me for the lead and said she wasn't going to audition because of it. Keep in mind, we're in sixth form so we're both 18 at the time. My teacher literally came to me after auditions and said that they wanted me to play the lead role but because of the huge deal this other girl made, they were going to write in another lead character so she didn't get upset!
As someone who does a lot of community theatre I think you're on the money about there not being enough people to fill the roles so you end up with people who competed for a role all in the cast.
In my experience there has been much cattiness amongst various cast members about casting decisions (age absolutely not a factor) and it seems pretty obvious now you mention it that it's got something to do with having not as many people to fill roles, as well as having just not that many roles to audition for. When a role is more coveted, but also more people are needed to fill an ensemble, you're just asking for trouble.
Obviously professional theatre is a whole different ballgame, and additionally because they can afford to be choosey the people who maybe don't have the best attitude will probably not be hired anyway.
Loved this! Maybe a Disney Parks / Disney World one, since I have so many expectations and assumptions on these since I've never been but I watched a lot of vlogs on them?
I worry too that people are super bitchy. I found it incredible bitchy when auditioning at drama school :( xx
My friend (let’s call her Kate) and I auditioned for a school play that a teacher wrote, the soundtrack was all group numbers except one solo song. We both auditioned for the role and I got it, she was really mean to me after. When I first sung my solo in rehearsal it was just before lunch so after I did it we went straight to break. Everyone was complimenting me and telling me I did great and it took me ten minutes to get out to break because everyone was crowding me and talking to me, I felt so happy and was so grateful to have the part, I saw my friend group but couldn’t see Kate, I then found out that she locked herself in the bathroom because she refused to talk to me. I didn’t brag or anything, but she didn’t talk to me until a week after the performance. I understand not getting the role may be upsetting but at least be happy for your friend, for months after she didn’t let me talk to anyone about that show. I was so grateful for the opportunity and especially for people to like it, but I just wished she was happy for me. After that she made everything a competition between us, and she got so aggressive that it was becoming toxic, so I unfriended her. WOW this was long, I just wanted to share my experience with this sort of thing
I know this is weird but whatever. I had a dream last night you were the lead in cinderella (lol) and I was replacing you for the night but I couldn't remember the words! It was terrible! You were very supportive thohgh
I wonder too if the drama question also comes from people outside of theater a lot. Most of the offices I have worked in have had a LOT of drama. Like really, horrible, sometimes legit bullying, drama. Sadly, I know that's not uncommon in a lot of industries so I bet people assume that with theater, you're working really closely together for so long, traveling together, some might be getting more attention from press and all than others, etc. and people might just assume that naturally there's drama. My assumption has always been the opposite for theater. Everyone in professional theater usually knows how incredibly fortunate they are to be where they are and they're so happy getting to actually follow their dream and do what they truly love. Not to mention you're often doing really emotional shows or you have really big moments on stage as a cast and you just truly come together over it. I would assume you would become so much closer than many workplaces because of that.
What was Wednesday's perfume?
Midnight Rose by Ghost!
#instasquad ❤️
a video idea if allowed for oli could be public opinion on you none disney vs disney
Carrie from London- I don’t know where this person is from but they are using “y’all” and I really enjoy it
Me from Arizona- I always saw y’all...
Also me- is that weird that I saw y’all?
It's not weird at all! It's just nice to hear colloquialisms from places we aren't from, as no one in the UK really says y'all!
Hello
Did you have to ask the production the permission to do backstage vlogs like you do or Zoe Doano did ? I'm asking this for Les Miz and the others shows you were in :)
Carrie has mentioned this in a previous video, though I can’t remember which. She wasn’t allowed to vlog when she started as Eponine. She didn’t share Les Mis content until well into her run - I think sometime in her second year.
What about the assumption that many people in theater groups are boning one another? I'm always curious if there's any truth to that lol.
