Ahh Leena! I LOVE your videos and have been watching religiously recently! Thanks for all the content you make and I'm so pleased you enjoyed the video! More to come!
I've been following you since before Les Mis. Since singing songs on your bed. Since before All I Know Now. And I am so freaking proud of you. I feel like a distant aunt or cousin watching you grow and flourish and I am SO VERY PROUD of you. It makes me teary eyed.
Please can this be a pitch to your publishers. Imagine a whole novel on this last 10 years of your career. Each show process properly broken down in a book. Little untold stories. Yup I’m here for it 😻
It was a little bit of a shock to me that les mis was 9 years ago, because i remember the video when you announced it and back then I was..... thirteen, thirteen years old. wow. I love thinking about the growth I had and how you influenced it so much, i'm so grateful for you sharing it with us
I am certain that 2013 Carrie would be so proud of you. Not because of all of your professional accomplishments, which are many, but because of all of your personal and emotional growth. You have grown so much. And it’s been a pleasure to grow with you.
I can’t believe it’s been 9 years! I still remember coming home from secondary school and watching all your videos from around the time you were in Les Mis! So interesting hearing about the process as well, as someone who hasn’t gone to drama school but still holds out a fraction of hope that maybe one day I’ll make acting a full time job, this was nice to hear!❤️
I'm not really a comment person, but the last part of your video made me tear up. When you said your early twenties are the years when you learn more about life I felt such a sadness because I was 20 when the pandemic started, I'm about to turn 23 and I feel like I lost so much time, so many activities that I wanted to do, so many plans, so many dreams, and I don't know if I'll ever recover from everything that I didn't get to try because of covid. And it hit me because people had told me so many times "well, at least you weren't in high school during the pandemic" or "at least you weren't working in a job you loved" or "at least you weren't a child who hasn't been to the park to play for the first time", but how do I explain that this years of growing and learning make me feel like I'm already failing in life just because I didn't get a chance to try more. Love you were able to find your dream at an age where most of us feel lost, hope soon enough I can find my dream too and this times can be put behind us. Much love. (Sorry, english is not my first language, so if there is any grammar errors, I apologize)
I'm so happy that I've been following you for your entire adult career and was lucky enough to see you play Eponine back in 2015. I'm so proud of everything you have achieved since then. Looking forward to the rest of these overview videos! 🥰
Same here. Started following Carrie on Twitter when she was still LittleFletcher a month before she created her TH-cam channel so really been here since the beginning. Saw Carrie as Eponine in March 2015 and since then I have seen her as Truly, Wednesday, Fantine and Cinderella. Didn't manage to see her as Veronica or the Parsons Wife sadly
Carrie, I would LOVE to know a bit more about the type of vocal training you’ve done over the years and how your voice has improved over the years. you’ve always sounded gorgeous. Been watching since long before Les Mis 🖤 thanks for being you!
I saw you in Les Mis in 2013! During the interval, I heard a woman say to her friend, “that Eponine has something about her, doesn’t she?” My heart soared for you. And it was true! You have a real presence on stage. I’m so glad I got to see you in this role.
I've seen Les Mis twice on the West End. The first time in 2013 during a holiday to London, and the second in 2019 when they were doing the Staged Concert and I booked a 13h flight to London just to see it. So you've been my Eponine AND my Fantine!
Carrie, I don't know if you will see this comment, but I saw you in Les Mis in July of 2015. I was sitting in the balcony house left. I was already enamored by the show, but when you sang On My Own, I was on the edge of my seat. And 13 year old me, with tears streaming down her face, decided right then and there that she wanted to try out for the school musical the next year. I had never sung or acted before, but I worked that entire year, and I got the part of Jane Banks in Mary Poppins at school my first year of high school. Since then, I decided to go to drama school, I am going to graduate this year and already have a few auditions lined up for after I graduate. Thank you for the 13 year old girl you inspired, and to all the other girls you have inspired along the way. So thank you so much.
So lovely. I love the role of Eponine, being madly in in love she can't have. I've loved Les Mis, since I watched the Swedish original production when I was 11 and then I watched the show at the West End in 1992, then I allowed myself to watch the show several times when working in London in my 20s. This makes me emotional, the dream of working as an actress
My parents got me a trip to London and tickets to see Les Mis when I turned 18 and it was truly such an amazing performance. My best friend and I met Carrie at stage door after the show and I still smile whenever I see the photo we took. It was truly such an amazing version of Les Mis and a beautiful experience and I’m so glad that it was the first show I ever saw on the west end (I’m from Germany so all Musicals I saw before that were in Germany lol) nowadays I try to fly out once a year to go see a show but covid has not made it all that possible sadly but I’m hopeful I’ll be able to go sometime this year, I miss live theater so much 😭😭
We all love you Carrie, sending hugs and warm wishes. I'm so sorry you're going through this, hoping the light at the end of the tunnel shows itself soon ❤️x
Carrie that was one of the most enjoyable videos you have made, your face & voice show just how much you enjoyed your time in Les Mis. We were so lucky to see you back in 2015 with an incredible cast - You, Jeremy Secomb, Phil Daniels, Katy Secombe, Rob Houchen, Bradley Jaden, Rachael Ann Go & my favourite JVJ of the 5 i've seen - Adam Bayjou. I can't wait for more of these & please don't forget The Christmasaurus.
i was fortunate enough to see les mis on new year’s eve 2015 and i cried the whole time. i’ve been watching your content since like 2012 and that moment seeing you onstage, being in London for the first time which was another thing i had wanted to do forever; it was a dream come true. 15 year old me was beyond words. i still am at 21.
How time flies! My little sister showed me your TH-cam channel sometime in the early 2010s and in summer 2015 we traveled from California -> London and we got tickets to see you in Les Mis. I remember meeting you at stage door all those years ago and we couldn’t believe we met you in person. My sis and I have loved growing up with you via this channel 💕
i'm turning twenty in three months and it feels like there's so much pressure to know exactly what you want and what you're doing immediately once you're legally an adult. there's something really comforting hearing you call yourself a child at that age.
I remember when you got the role of Éponine. I looked up to you so much, and to think that now I am older than you were then and now in my early twenties, which you say are your most formative years, it makes me feel like there is still so much exciting stuff waiting to happen to me too, like I have seen for you over the years. This video brought happy tears to my eyes
9 years ago 🤯 How time flies!! It was such a beautiful, best birthday present was to see your last show of Eponine! You made me felt in love with musical theatre by having that role so I will always be thankful for that!! I can’t agree more about the learning in your twenties I’m on the same path and we did it!! You were a fantastic Eponine and I love looking back at all the time I went to see you 🥰🥰 Can’t wait to see the next show review 😁😁😁
I remember coming to see you in Les Mis! I was about 15 and was on holiday for Italy, and I remember I had asked for Les Mis tickets as a birthday present or something along those lines lmao. It stuck with me because not only was it my first West End show, it was also my very first time being at stage door, and I remember I completely froze when I saw you coming out the door cause I was so nervous! And I think you saw me panicking because you walked up to me and said hi and basically helped me make conversation., which was very sweet of you and I will forever be grateful for that. Now I am 22 and have a degree in theatre studies from a Scottish university, and I always talk about how seeing that performance of Les Mis is one of the main things that made me fall in love with theatre. Thank you!
2013 was the year I was studying abroad in the UK, and although I hadn't ever seen or read anything about Les Miserables, I knew you'd just started playing Eponine, and I just thought, 'well, I think I'll go check it out then'. And I'm so glad I did! Les Mis is, until this day, the greatest art performance I've seen live, by far. I was at the theatre by myself, so my attention was 100% directed to the musical, and it just kept me on the edge of my seat for the whole three-hour (did I get it right? It's been nearly 10 years now!) spectacle. And, you know, adult Eponine doesn't show up right at the start of the show, so in the first moments I was a bit worried I'd bought tickets for the wrong play, or something, 'cause Carrie just wasn't there! hahah It was so great seeing you perform, you killed it! It just felt like you were a good friend of mine, I felt so proud! I guess that's what youtube vlogging is all about, isn't it. Didn't get to see you at the stage door for some reason, but it wasn't a big deal for me anyway. Haven't seen a Carrie video in years, but this is such a fond memory for me, that I just had to watch and share this comment.
A side note on adults thats made me feel WAY more at ease with my "beginner" status: Beginner - 18 - 30 Advanced 30 - 50 Intermediate 50 - 70 "Expert" 70+ (All numbers fluctuate let's be real) I put expert in floaty commas bc I have a sneaking suspicion we don't ever feel like grown ups, we just get better at masking our floundering!
I bet you hardly even scratched the surface of all those amazing experiences! I could listen to you talk about previous shows in crazy detail all day!!! Love this sm
I have a photo of meeting you at stage door right when you must’ve first been in Les Mis, back when there was like 10 people at stage door. I must’ve been 16 and also SUCH a baby. And I had the best chat with you, we talked about the show, we talked about doctor who and Sherlock. And despite meeting you briefly at other stage doors and book signings since, I always hold onto that first time the most. It’s been amazing to watch your career and your growth over the last 9 years ❤️
God can't believe I've been a follower for so long, I remember freaking out when I found out I was going to see Les Mis in London in 2014, it's my favourite show ever and I cried my eyes out before meeting you at the stage door. You were so sweet and lovely, still one of my favourite theater experiences to this day
I saw you in Les Mis in 2015 during my first year of uni. I'd grown up listening to and loving the 15th anniversary concert recording and had been lucky enough to see a touring production at a local theatre, but I'd always wanted to see it properly at the West End. I took my mum and we both had a wonderful experience. I was 20 in 2015 so your talk of looking back on that age really resonated with me. I'm nearly 27 now and I still don't feel like a proper grown up (will I ever?) but I do look back at 20 year old me and realise she really was so young, trying to prove herself to the world but not having a thing figured out yet.
I got to see you in January 2014 and you were incredible 💖 I was a huge fan of you on TH-cam and was studying abroad in London (from the US) and felt so lucky that I got to see you and meet you at stage door! And to see where you are now… I am so proud and happy for you ❤️
This brings back so many wonderful memories of such a happy time - The Double Show Fun & Room 9 Advent era!! The absolute best time for the most amazing show. While you felt you needed to prove your place, everyone else was just completely in awe of your talent. I remember finding your TH-cam channel after a visit to Les Mis in December 2013 and was just so inspired by the whole story & how you had got to that point through complete dedication and determination! A star in the making & you still inspire us all today. Thanks Carrie - one in a million!
I can hardly believe I've been watching your videos for this long. I remember you getting the role and how excited I was for you. It makes me so happy that I was watching your videos while you were going through this. I remember you putting your jewelry into an envelope to keep it safe throughout your run, having almost 2 more years of hair growth for your donation because they kept asking you to stay on, and when you started wearing corsets to get used to the corsets you'd wear in the show. I've loved watching you through the years. Thank you for allowing us this glimpse into your life.
I remember seeing you in Les Mis in 2013, in June, just a couple of days after West End Live. I got the very last ticket available about three hours before the show! It was the start of Something with a capital S because I’ve now seen the show 30 times, in three different countries (England, Sweden, Norway), three different languages (English, Swedish, Norwegian), four different cities (London, Karlstad, Jönköping, Oslo), and five different theatres (Queen’s before the renaming, Gielgud, Wermland Opera, Spira, and Folketeateret). So thank you for sparking that Something!
I remember in 2013 when you were sharing about being in Les Mis as Eponine and I distinctly remember you saying the same thing you said in 7:43 haha About even if you didn't get the part you would be grateful for the experience of the audition. It's something that always helped me remember to be grateful for the things I do even if I don't succeed. It's such a small thing you said (to yourself) but it had a big impact on me when I first heard you say it (I was 18 in 2013).
Hi Carrie! I cannot believe I've been following you for so long. I am 25 now and I remember when I first came to London, saw you in Les Mis and bought your book All I Know Now which I still have on my shelf! It's amazing to feel like I've been growing up with you :) I wish you all the best! Pat x
This was wonderful thank you. I first began watching your channel when you got a hat with rabbit ears for Christmas. Biscuit bloopers has always been my favourite video.
Les Miserables was my first introduction to live musical theater ( I’m from California hence the spelling 😀). And I have been obsessed for years and years, I’ve seen the play live 17 times and I’ve watched every anniversary special. I would give anything to be someone in the ensemble. I’ll sweep or raise a glass or weep. I know all the words! It’s a fantasy I know. But I hold on to it because I love the play so much. Carrie your Eponine was probably one of the best because you are an amazing singer and actress. I wish every success always. 🎶❤️
Always so great to hear ppls pathways to things and remember that at the start we're all nervous and think we're never going to make it. Love your positive attitude to making it to each stage, I'm sure it helped you so much 🙂
I started following you when you were halfway through your Les Mis run and got to meet you at stage door in January 2015. It feels like a lifetime ago. But I’m so proud of how far you’ve come and that I got to see you as Eponine. You, Rob, and Celinde will forever be my Eponine, Marius and Fantine haha
Loved this, love hearing your memories from all the fabulous roles you’ve played can’t wait to hear the rest of these!! Sending you lots to love from Australia 💖🇦🇺
I saw you as Fantine in early 2020 and hung around at the stagedoor for a little bit after, and it struck me how, not only wonderful a performance you gave, but how kind and patient you were with everyone you met after! I didn't talk to you myself, but a group of young girls had a conversation with you, and you seem like such a nice person (and talked to them for so long!). Good luck on all your future endeavors!
Wow it both does and doesn't feel like that all happened 9 years ago! I watched all of that happening in "real time" on TH-cam when I was just becoming a teenager! I even saw the show, although you were on holiday (Celinda was absolutely amazing though, as was the entire show, so I wasn't disappointed!) 😊
I already know that this series is going to be one of my favourites. It's so cool to hear the process and stuff that happened in the shows you have done. Can't wait for the next one. I'm also coming to see Cinderella and Frozen for a double show day next month and cannot wait to see both shows after obsessing over their soundtracks.
Saw you as Eponine at and around the 30th, and as Fantine at the renovation concert. Very much looking forward to seeing you as Mrs T at the 50th or 60th.
I started watching your videos when I was 11, I am now 21 and it’s just insane to think about. You’re probably the only TH-camr I’ve watched as long as I have
All I can say is THANK YOU Cameron! Where the fudge 😂 would we all be had he have made a different decision that day?!!! I lost my Westend virginity to Les Mis. It changed me forever! Looking forward to the next overviews 🤩
Hahah I agree! Chris Key the resident director and James Orange the casting director are also very much to thank! Chris Key is now the associate director at Cinderella too so super wonderful to be working with him again! Les Mis really does have a way of making people fall in love with theatre!
I've been following you since before Les Mis and I remember being SO PROUD when you got the role!!! I loved the 2013 cast so much. So cool that you met Rob during your auditions!! I still watch Room 9 Advent every December, one video a day. You absolutely ATE in the Where Are You Christmas video. Lots of love!!!!
This was so interesting! I've been following you for so long that I remember you talking about Éponine being your dream role, before you had even auditioned or been cast for it. It might be weird and parasocial of me, but I really feel like a proud little sister when I see how far you've come since then. It's also completely crazy that you were only 20 back then, I'm turning 26 this year and I still remember how grown up you seemed to me. Time is strange.
I loved watching this video and hearing about your experiences. I just want to add that I've been a huge fan of yours since I first happened upon your channel some eight years ago. I don't believe there could be a more profoundly beautiful (and accomplished) human being on the planet than Carrie Hope Fletcher. You are a genuine inspiration in so many ways. ♥♥♥
I can’t believe it’s been that long! I remember your videos from your bedroom, I remember you being so excited to share that you got the part. I was so glad to have gotten to see you perform as Eponine and to have met you at stage door Such an amazing performer and wonderful soul. Hope to make it back to England to see you as Cinderella
this was such a lovely video to watch Carrie. It's so interesting hearing your perspective and also how much time you have spent looking back and reflecting. I totally agree that you do the most learning in your early 20s, I sure did! Can't wait for the next show-verview
Before I even watch this the thumbnail for this gives me nostalgia 😅 I already liked les mis but I'm sure watching Carrie's videos over the years is partly why I know it so well and love it so much! 😄
My brother, nephews and I came to see Les Mis in 2013 and my nephew was so happy that you were appearing. We came to the stage door and you were so incredibly gracious and kind. I am hoping you will come to Australia. If you you ever find a good role that you can't resist!
I've been watching your channel for over 9 years now (iirc the newest video on your channel when I started watching was "the guilty biscuit") and seeing you reminisce about your time in les mis made ME nostalgic! thanks for the past 9 years and for being a constant in my online life
I remember the day you posted the video saying that you got the part of Eponine! I remember being so happy for you, now looking back, as you grew up, I was growing up alongside you. Couldn't ask for a better role model, and I can't wait to see where you are (if you're still on youtube) in ten more years. Congratulations on an absolutely fabulous career xoxo
I'm so proud of everything that you've done. You're such a talented and hard working human and you deserved so much more in this world. Lots of love, Carrie 💕💖
I loved this Carrie! As someone starting their second year of drama school auditions this month, it’s so insightful to hear about your audition processes and what you learnt. I’m so looking forward to the rest! x
I forget just how long I've been watching you, I remember watching you on TH-cam before you got the role of Eponine. So so happy to see how wonderful things turned out for you 🥺💖
Saw you playing Eponine on my 18th birthday, and I adored it so much, I've followed your videos since about 2010 and I loved every video. Brilliant series idea!
I really loved seeing this review! It's always amazing to look back on our lives and I agree- your 20s are a HUGE time of growth! You're practically an entirely different person at 30 than 20. It's so cool to see that in terms of a theatre career.
I remember meeting you at stage door in your first year as Eponine! I also remember when you got the part of Eponine and I ran down the stairs, after watching your announcement video, to tell my parents that my favourite TH-camr had landed their dream west end role! How time flies ❤️ x
I’ve been following you since your Twitter LittleFletcher days. I subscribed when you launched the channel. I’m so proud of everything you’ve accomplished. I remember being so excited for you when you got Eponine. Also meeting you that one time at Disney world 2 years ago was so lovely because you are lovely!
I watched you in les mis in 2013 (I am 20 now and I was 11 then!!!) and I have been watching your videos since you where sat on your parents kitchen floor after shows. I have also played eponine and fantine and little cosette in my time (not in the west end though lol) and im now a children's nurse. I miss theatre loads but I feel like my theatre dreams are lived vicariously through you :)
Proud to have been watching you since before Les Mis! I remember when you announced you'd got the part and being so excited for you. I adored watching your videos and living out my performing dreams through you 😂 It's lovely getting a bit more insight into what it was all like for you.
I have a les mis programme from about 2015 when I was 8-9 years old and I found it today and I decided to see if you were in it as Eponine and you were! And it was really funny- I’m 15 now so the programme is falling apart but it was acc rlly funny.
Wow I enjoyed every second of this video, the audition process, the how it works onstage, what was going on in your life at the moment, the learnings along the way, these could last an hour each and I'd be excited to go grab my popcorn when I see there's a new upload and learn more about the backstage of it all every time 😊 thank you for sharing!
I remember those days. It's been so long!! You were finishing up Les Mis around the same time I was out of high school and since I'd known you, I'd never lived in a world where you weren't Eponine. I also remember crying when you were leaving because I didn't get to see you :c But it's so nice to look back on it.

This was so interesting to hear about, please do more, all the little details are FASCINATING !
Ahh Leena! I LOVE your videos and have been watching religiously recently! Thanks for all the content you make and I'm so pleased you enjoyed the video! More to come!
Agreed, natural story teller
@@Carrie haha aw no way! Well the feeling is mutual
I've been following you since before Les Mis. Since singing songs on your bed. Since before All I Know Now. And I am so freaking proud of you. I feel like a distant aunt or cousin watching you grow and flourish and I am SO VERY PROUD of you. It makes me teary eyed.
Please can this be a pitch to your publishers. Imagine a whole novel on this last 10 years of your career. Each show process properly broken down in a book. Little untold stories. Yup I’m here for it 😻
Can't believe I've been watching your videos for a decade!
It was a little bit of a shock to me that les mis was 9 years ago, because i remember the video when you announced it and back then I was..... thirteen, thirteen years old. wow. I love thinking about the growth I had and how you influenced it so much, i'm so grateful for you sharing it with us

This was lovely - looking forward to the rest. Having your formative years so much on record must be both strange and wonderful as time goes on! 😊
Very strange but also lovely to be able to look back and reminisce!
I'm not really a comment person, but the last part of your video made me tear up. When you said your early twenties are the years when you learn more about life I felt such a sadness because I was 20 when the pandemic started, I'm about to turn 23 and I feel like I lost so much time, so many activities that I wanted to do, so many plans, so many dreams, and I don't know if I'll ever recover from everything that I didn't get to try because of covid.
And it hit me because people had told me so many times "well, at least you weren't in high school during the pandemic" or "at least you weren't working in a job you loved" or "at least you weren't a child who hasn't been to the park to play for the first time", but how do I explain that this years of growing and learning make me feel like I'm already failing in life just because I didn't get a chance to try more.
Love you were able to find your dream at an age where most of us feel lost, hope soon enough I can find my dream too and this times can be put behind us. Much love.

Theatre People have that spark. She can’t help but unintentionally litter it throughout this vlog.
Thanks for rekindling the passion I used to have.

i'm turning twenty in three months and it feels like there's so much pressure to know exactly what you want and what you're doing immediately once you're legally an adult. there's something really comforting hearing you call yourself a child at that age.
I remember when you got the role of Éponine. I looked up to you so much, and to think that now I am older than you were then and now in my early twenties, which you say are your most formative years, it makes me feel like there is still so much exciting stuff waiting to happen to me too, like I have seen for you over the years. This video brought happy tears to my eyes
Les Mis was the first musical I watched. I went to London May 2015, first time out of my country. Best experience I had.
9 years ago 🤯 How time flies!! It was such a beautiful, best birthday present was to see your last show of Eponine!
You made me felt in love with musical theatre by having that role so I will always be thankful for that!!
I can’t agree more about the learning in your twenties I’m on the same path and we did it!!
You were a fantastic Eponine and I love looking back at all the time I went to see you 🥰🥰
Can’t wait to see the next show review 😁😁😁
Omg PLEASE do this with all of your roles! Been here since 2013 and loved all the roles you've done! this was so awesome
I remember coming to see you in Les Mis! I was about 15 and was on holiday for Italy, and I remember I had asked for Les Mis tickets as a birthday present or something along those lines lmao. It stuck with me because not only was it my first West End show, it was also my very first time being at stage door, and I remember I completely froze when I saw you coming out the door cause I was so nervous! And I think you saw me panicking because you walked up to me and said hi and basically helped me make conversation., which was very sweet of you and I will forever be grateful for that. Now I am 22 and have a degree in theatre studies from a Scottish university, and I always talk about how seeing that performance of Les Mis is one of the main things that made me fall in love with theatre. Thank you!
So buzzing for this series!! 😍🥰
I love that Carrie was in Les miserables. I only watch it If she is in it because she is AMAZING!!!!
Oh my gosh I remember when you got the part it’s so cool to hear about all of this almost a decade later ✨💖
2013 was the year I was studying abroad in the UK, and although I hadn't ever seen or read anything about Les Miserables, I knew you'd just started playing Eponine, and I just thought, 'well, I think I'll go check it out then'. And I'm so glad I did! Les Mis is, until this day, the greatest art performance I've seen live, by far. I was at the theatre by myself, so my attention was 100% directed to the musical, and it just kept me on the edge of my seat for the whole three-hour (did I get it right? It's been nearly 10 years now!) spectacle. And, you know, adult Eponine doesn't show up right at the start of the show, so in the first moments I was a bit worried I'd bought tickets for the wrong play, or something, 'cause Carrie just wasn't there! hahah
It was so great seeing you perform, you killed it! It just felt like you were a good friend of mine, I felt so proud! I guess that's what youtube vlogging is all about, isn't it. Didn't get to see you at the stage door for some reason, but it wasn't a big deal for me anyway. Haven't seen a Carrie video in years, but this is such a fond memory for me, that I just had to watch and share this comment.
A side note on adults thats made me feel WAY more at ease with my "beginner" status:
Beginner - 18 - 30
Advanced 30 - 50
Intermediate 50 - 70
"Expert" 70+
(All numbers fluctuate let's be real)
I put expert in floaty commas bc I have a sneaking suspicion we don't ever feel like grown ups, we just get better at masking our floundering!
I bet you hardly even scratched the surface of all those amazing experiences! I could listen to you talk about previous shows in crazy detail all day!!! Love this sm
I have a photo of meeting you at stage door right when you must’ve first been in Les Mis, back when there was like 10 people at stage door. I must’ve been 16 and also SUCH a baby. And I had the best chat with you, we talked about the show, we talked about doctor who and Sherlock. And despite meeting you briefly at other stage doors and book signings since, I always hold onto that first time the most. It’s been amazing to watch your career and your growth over the last 9 years ❤️
If you do one for Addams family it should be called
I’m crazier than you, that’s just the show-verview
That’s brilliant!!
@@londongirl2768 thanks
God can't believe I've been a follower for so long, I remember freaking out when I found out I was going to see Les Mis in London in 2014, it's my favourite show ever and I cried my eyes out before meeting you at the stage door. You were so sweet and lovely, still one of my favourite theater experiences to this day
I saw you in Les Mis in 2015 during my first year of uni. I'd grown up listening to and loving the 15th anniversary concert recording and had been lucky enough to see a touring production at a local theatre, but I'd always wanted to see it properly at the West End. I took my mum and we both had a wonderful experience.
I was 20 in 2015 so your talk of looking back on that age really resonated with me. I'm nearly 27 now and I still don't feel like a proper grown up (will I ever?) but I do look back at 20 year old me and realise she really was so young, trying to prove herself to the world but not having a thing figured out yet.
Hi Carrie I watched the full show of les mis with you in it on TH-cam and I thought you were amazing playing the role of Eponnine
I got to see you in January 2014 and you were incredible 💖 I was a huge fan of you on TH-cam and was studying abroad in London (from the US) and felt so lucky that I got to see you and meet you at stage door! And to see where you are now… I am so proud and happy for you ❤️
This brings back so many wonderful memories of such a happy time - The Double Show Fun & Room 9 Advent era!! The absolute best time for the most amazing show. While you felt you needed to prove your place, everyone else was just completely in awe of your talent. I remember finding your TH-cam channel after a visit to Les Mis in December 2013 and was just so inspired by the whole story & how you had got to that point through complete dedication and determination! A star in the making & you still inspire us all today. Thanks Carrie - one in a million!
I can hardly believe I've been watching your videos for this long. I remember you getting the role and how excited I was for you. It makes me so happy that I was watching your videos while you were going through this. I remember you putting your jewelry into an envelope to keep it safe throughout your run, having almost 2 more years of hair growth for your donation because they kept asking you to stay on, and when you started wearing corsets to get used to the corsets you'd wear in the show. I've loved watching you through the years. Thank you for allowing us this glimpse into your life.
I've been following you since you were in Les Mis. Can't believe how many years that means it's been!
I remember seeing you in Les Mis in 2013, in June, just a couple of days after West End Live. I got the very last ticket available about three hours before the show! It was the start of Something with a capital S because I’ve now seen the show 30 times, in three different countries (England, Sweden, Norway), three different languages (English, Swedish, Norwegian), four different cities (London, Karlstad, Jönköping, Oslo), and five different theatres (Queen’s before the renaming, Gielgud, Wermland Opera, Spira, and Folketeateret). So thank you for sparking that Something!
I remember in 2013 when you were sharing about being in Les Mis as Eponine and I distinctly remember you saying the same thing you said in 7:43 haha About even if you didn't get the part you would be grateful for the experience of the audition. It's something that always helped me remember to be grateful for the things I do even if I don't succeed. It's such a small thing you said (to yourself) but it had a big impact on me when I first heard you say it (I was 18 in 2013).
Her video about getting the part is truly one of my most favourite videos, gives me chills every time
Hi Carrie! I cannot believe I've been following you for so long. I am 25 now and I remember when I first came to London, saw you in Les Mis and bought your book All I Know Now which I still have on my shelf! It's amazing to feel like I've been growing up with you :) I wish you all the best! Pat x
the very end of the video like how they used to be 👀😭 this was so fun
was watching your oldddd les mis videos the other day- such a lovely time in your life😌 Im 19 now, so strange to think i was 10 then!!!
I remember watching the original video you posted when you announced that you got the part and I was SO excited for you
This was wonderful thank you. I first began watching your channel when you got a hat with rabbit ears for Christmas. Biscuit bloopers has always been my favourite video.
I still remember opening night, I was a proud, proud MESS!
Les Miserables was my first introduction to live musical theater ( I’m from California hence the spelling 😀). And I have been obsessed for years and years, I’ve seen the play live 17 times and I’ve watched every anniversary special. I would give anything to be someone in the ensemble. I’ll sweep or raise a glass or weep. I know all the words! It’s a fantasy I know. But I hold on to it because I love the play so much. Carrie your Eponine was probably one of the best because you are an amazing singer and actress. I wish every success always. 🎶❤️
Wow, I can't believe it's been 9 years too! I remember when you got the part! Can't believe I've been watching your channel for over a decade.
So talented, so genuine, so real. Thank you Carrie for sharing your gift with the world
Always so great to hear ppls pathways to things and remember that at the start we're all nervous and think we're never going to make it. Love your positive attitude to making it to each stage, I'm sure it helped you so much 🙂
I’m always sad when you leave a show but so excited because there will be a fantastic new one
I started following you when you were halfway through your Les Mis run and got to meet you at stage door in January 2015. It feels like a lifetime ago. But I’m so proud of how far you’ve come and that I got to see you as Eponine. You, Rob, and Celinde will forever be my Eponine, Marius and Fantine haha
Loved this, love hearing your memories from all the fabulous roles you’ve played can’t wait to hear the rest of these!!
Sending you lots to love from Australia 💖🇦🇺
I saw you as Fantine in early 2020 and hung around at the stagedoor for a little bit after, and it struck me how, not only wonderful a performance you gave, but how kind and patient you were with everyone you met after! I didn't talk to you myself, but a group of young girls had a conversation with you, and you seem like such a nice person (and talked to them for so long!). Good luck on all your future endeavors!
Really really enjoyed that and I loved hearing the casting process too!
Wow it both does and doesn't feel like that all happened 9 years ago! I watched all of that happening in "real time" on TH-cam when I was just becoming a teenager! I even saw the show, although you were on holiday (Celinda was absolutely amazing though, as was the entire show, so I wasn't disappointed!) 😊
I already know that this series is going to be one of my favourites. It's so cool to hear the process and stuff that happened in the shows you have done. Can't wait for the next one. I'm also coming to see Cinderella and Frozen for a double show day next month and cannot wait to see both shows after obsessing over their soundtracks.
Saw you as Eponine at and around the 30th, and as Fantine at the renovation concert. Very much looking forward to seeing you as Mrs T at the 50th or 60th.
Thank you for your time in giving this type of information about your life as a actor! Looking forward to additional segments!
I started watching your videos when I was 11, I am now 21 and it’s just insane to think about. You’re probably the only TH-camr I’ve watched as long as I have
All I can say is THANK YOU Cameron!
Where the fudge 😂 would we all be had he have made a different decision that day?!!!
I lost my Westend virginity to Les Mis. It changed me forever!
Looking forward to the next overviews 🤩
Hahah I agree! Chris Key the resident director and James Orange the casting director are also very much to thank! Chris Key is now the associate director at Cinderella too so super wonderful to be working with him again!
Les Mis really does have a way of making people fall in love with theatre!
I've been following you since before Les Mis and I remember being SO PROUD when you got the role!!! I loved the 2013 cast so much. So cool that you met Rob during your auditions!! I still watch Room 9 Advent every December, one video a day. You absolutely ATE in the Where Are You Christmas video. Lots of love!!!!
Love you talking about a bad audition , like anyone successful , it’s always a lot of work to finally get where you want to be.
Omg can't believe it's been 9 years I still remember you revealing you got the part. I remember being so happy for you I almost cried ❤️
This was so interesting! I've been following you for so long that I remember you talking about Éponine being your dream role, before you had even auditioned or been cast for it. It might be weird and parasocial of me, but I really feel like a proud little sister when I see how far you've come since then. It's also completely crazy that you were only 20 back then, I'm turning 26 this year and I still remember how grown up you seemed to me. Time is strange.
I loved watching this video and hearing about your experiences. I just want to add that I've been a huge fan of yours since I first happened upon your channel some eight years ago. I don't believe there could be a more profoundly beautiful (and accomplished) human being on the planet than Carrie Hope Fletcher. You are a genuine inspiration in so many ways. ♥♥♥
I can’t believe it’s been that long! I remember your videos from your bedroom, I remember you being so excited to share that you got the part. I was so glad to have gotten to see you perform as Eponine and to have met you at stage door Such an amazing performer and wonderful soul. Hope to make it back to England to see you as Cinderella
this was such a lovely video to watch Carrie. It's so interesting hearing your perspective and also how much time you have spent looking back and reflecting. I totally agree that you do the most learning in your early 20s, I sure did!
Can't wait for the next show-verview
Loved this video! I remember watching the video announcing you got the role in 2013, what an amazing journey to watch!
Before I even watch this the thumbnail for this gives me nostalgia 😅 I already liked les mis but I'm sure watching Carrie's videos over the years is partly why I know it so well and love it so much! 😄
I had to keep rewinding to catch what you said cause I was too focused on the amazing colour coded book shelves 😅
My brother, nephews and I came to see Les Mis in 2013 and my nephew was so happy that you were appearing. We came to the stage door and you were so incredibly gracious and kind. I am hoping you will come to Australia. If you you ever find a good role that you can't resist!
I saw you in les mis in 2014. It’s my mum’s favourite show. Now I’ve seen it 12 times!! It my favourite musical ever
I've been watching your channel for over 9 years now (iirc the newest video on your channel when I started watching was "the guilty biscuit") and seeing you reminisce about your time in les mis made ME nostalgic!
thanks for the past 9 years and for being a constant in my online life
I remember the day you posted the video saying that you got the part of Eponine! I remember being so happy for you, now looking back, as you grew up, I was growing up alongside you. Couldn't ask for a better role model, and I can't wait to see where you are (if you're still on youtube) in ten more years. Congratulations on an absolutely fabulous career xoxo
Made me cry hearing you talk about your experience. I have always loved Les Mis. You’re such an inspiration.
Can’t wait for addams! One of my favourite shows
I'm so proud of everything that you've done. You're such a talented and hard working human and you deserved so much more in this world. Lots of love, Carrie 💕💖
baby Carrie!! my goodness, I remember watching the "I dreamed a dream" video wow, time flies. I'm a musical theatre student myself now. :')
I loved this Carrie! As someone starting their second year of drama school auditions this month, it’s so insightful to hear about your audition processes and what you learnt. I’m so looking forward to the rest! x
I forget just how long I've been watching you, I remember watching you on TH-cam before you got the role of Eponine. So so happy to see how wonderful things turned out for you 🥺💖
My first and still favourite ever Eponine. Your Little Fall of Rain used to get me every single time. You had it so perfect
Saw you playing Eponine on my 18th birthday, and I adored it so much, I've followed your videos since about 2010 and I loved every video. Brilliant series idea!
I really loved seeing this review! It's always amazing to look back on our lives and I agree- your 20s are a HUGE time of growth! You're practically an entirely different person at 30 than 20. It's so cool to see that in terms of a theatre career.
I remember meeting you at stage door in your first year as Eponine! I also remember when you got the part of Eponine and I ran down the stairs, after watching your announcement video, to tell my parents that my favourite TH-camr had landed their dream west end role! How time flies ❤️ x
I’ve been following you since your Twitter LittleFletcher days. I subscribed when you launched the channel. I’m so proud of everything you’ve accomplished.
I remember being so excited for you when you got Eponine.
Also meeting you that one time at Disney world 2 years ago was so lovely because you are lovely!
Thank you for sharing this! Such a wonderful journey Carrie! Hope you come to NYC one day!
I watched you in les mis in 2013 (I am 20 now and I was 11 then!!!) and I have been watching your videos since you where sat on your parents kitchen floor after shows. I have also played eponine and fantine and little cosette in my time (not in the west end though lol) and im now a children's nurse. I miss theatre loads but I feel like my theatre dreams are lived vicariously through you :)
Proud to have been watching you since before Les Mis! I remember when you announced you'd got the part and being so excited for you. I adored watching your videos and living out my performing dreams through you 😂 It's lovely getting a bit more insight into what it was all like for you.
I have a les mis programme from about 2015 when I was 8-9 years old and I found it today and I decided to see if you were in it as Eponine and you were! And it was really funny- I’m 15 now so the programme is falling apart but it was acc rlly funny.
seeing you play her was ligit one of my highlights of my time at university, you are just brilliant
Wow I enjoyed every second of this video, the audition process, the how it works onstage, what was going on in your life at the moment, the learnings along the way, these could last an hour each and I'd be excited to go grab my popcorn when I see there's a new upload and learn more about the backstage of it all every time 😊 thank you for sharing!
I remember those days.
It's been so long!!
You were finishing up Les Mis around the same time I was out of high school and since I'd known you, I'd never lived in a world where you weren't Eponine.
I also remember crying when you were leaving because I didn't get to see you :c
But it's so nice to look back on it.
I can't believe I've been following you for 9 years! It's been so lovely to grow with you, both as a theatre maker and as a person
yes please please do more videos like this!!!
