All the actors in the world: don't record our shows
Carrie: time to watch a bootleg ❤👄❤
For real... 😂😂😂😂 She amazing.
Lol the off Broadway cast said without the bootlegs no one would have known who they were
@@quintkent FR😭
“I don’t think I played the Veronica everyone expected.” Your the Veronica we all needed, you are incredible! 🤍
I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with Carrie (or Heathers in general) this much but here I am, and I totally agree that we needed her as I Say No was the first little push that got me into Heathers
Imagine having tonsilitis, being completely on the verge of tears and STILL sounding that amazing!
She sounds better sick then i do not sick
During the “Blame your childhood, blame your dad”, that little choke, to me, makes the song feel a lot more authentic
It's so comforting to hear you talk about how emotional I Say No makes you. The part of that song that ALWAYS ALWAYS gets me without a doubt is the "BUT I LOVE YOU" and Veronica just goes "...dude." As somebody who was in an emotionally manipulative relationship for 4 years, and who listened to I Say No for the first time while still in that relationship and felt absolutely trapped, like, people who have been in similar situations know that the minute they say "but I love you" is the moment that you crumble, you give in, and you stay. The first time I heard Veronica just go "...dude" is the moment that I realized that if she can do it, so can I, and because of that, I was able to get out of that horrible relationship. I'm so glad that song exists.
i just saw this and cried. i’m so proud of you!
that’s fucking amazing. i’m so happy you got out of there !! :)
i am so heckin proud of you oh my gosh !! you are amazing and are so so loved !!
This actually made me cried, I'm really proud of you!
That one dislike is from JD
And the other two are Heather Chandler and Duke
Glen Coco and the new two must be Kurt and Ram, right?
He's mad Veronica hasn't opened the door
@@glencoco3077 I like Carrie, Veronica is the one I don’t like...
Says Miss Corn Nuts
I was in the audience on the premiere of I say no at the other palace, you were insane! Kevin asked me if I knew the show well as I was conveniently dressed in full Veronica costume and then told me to watch out for act two! I can confirm I was the girl hyperventilating with excitement of the fourth row 😂
Honestly, I once saw Idina Menzel perform when she was sick and you would 100% hold your own in a sick sing-off with Idina. Just saying. I can’t believe how great you sound in the video.
For the record, Idina Menzel is also a complete beast and managed to sing Take Me or Leave Me, Defying Gravity, and Let it Go while sick, so this wasn’t meant to be a knock on her, I just legitimately think you’re THAT good.
Jamie was soo o o o o gooood as JD. I was sitting there thinking, damn Jamie is so charismatic im so lucky to be watching him , and by the end of the show i was like "holy shit , i hope he doesjt look directly at me that man is scARY"
his face at the end of Our Love is a God is legit terrifying
@@patsykiniry3564 agree with you
I don’t care what anyone says, you were the Veronica we wanted and we needed. No one else, YOU! You smashed it!
we can compliment people without tearing others down
Angelika Joy no one is tearing anyone down...
Kiera Tonks ur essentially saying that carrie is the only veronica who smashed the part, when a lot of other actresses are amazing as well
Angelika Joy I haven’t at all. Some people were negative about here getting the part and she was worried what people thought of her. I’m saying she did well and she doesn’t have to worry about them. I haven’t said anything about anyone else, other actresses have done great as well. Don’t make that assumption of what I’m saying, because that’s not what I’m saying at all!
My favourite Veronica! Wish I'd gotten to see her on the West End 😫 I live for that album now tho 😍😍
I've been obsessed with your Veronica and Jamie's JD and I recently watched the whole play... I CANNOT believe you were SICK!!!! Absolutely amazing, I'm in awe of you.
how did you watch the whole play?
@@mia7407 slime tutorials ;)
is there a link to the whole show

Your welcome ❤😊
The fact that you wore blue to react to this is amazing
Yessss I was thinking that while watching this
Omg
I’m a singer myself and when I get tonsillitis I lose my voice completely so you are an absolute hero!!!! This is absolutely incredible, you would’ve never known in the slightest that you were unwell. Props to you!!
had a crappy day today, but “i say no, my vocal chords alao say no” is deadass the first thing that’s made me laugh all day, thank you Carrie❤️😂
I hope you're doing ok ❤️
💕
Sammy Tyler thank you❤️
It’s been a year, but I hope you’re doing well! Same goes to everyone else in this comment section :)
My favourite thing about Carrie's Veronica is that she seems more determined and in control to the point that it's actually hard to believe she "wanted someone strong who could protect" her (to quote Dead Girl Walking Reprise), and I think "I Say No" is a great way to reinforce that aspect of the character's personality.
Plus, the song is an absolute bop haha
Can we just appreciate how Carrie says she managed to hold back her tears the entire song, cause its so hard to do that ❤️👏
Please do a reacting to the Adams family with Oli!!
Yesssssssss
I say no is a top tier shower song!!
It is
I saw the evening performance on the day I Say No went into the show - you killed it! I also threw my scrunchie a little too hard during the bows and it landed on you, so I’m sorry for that 😂
Carrie: *watching herself belt Amazingly, Broadway Quality, Outstanding, Show Stopping, superbly*
Also Carrie: *pauses video immediately* OH DeAr I wAs SoOo SiCk DuRiNg ThIs WhOoPs 😆
(Love you Carrie ☺️)
No that was ABOVE Broadway Quality
its west end quality
@@britknee3019 Exactly
Did anyone else notice that Carrie is wearing a Veronica blue sweater in this video? (I love it!)
As an actor, this is pure gold! Getting to see you break down exactly what you were doing and thinking is a masterclass in performance and the West End experience in general. Thank you!
This video actually made me really emotional - hearing about the hard time you had during this show with illness but how the cast and team got you through is really powerful, especially when you can see the all the emotions in the bootleg. So much respect for you as a performer and a person
so i discovered heathers last week (my gateway drug was i say no . . . . the way it builds during the chorus is just goosebump inducing), and i am sad that i am so late to the party, because i have all these questions and thoughts and comments and no one to share them with!
my one of two main questions is why the show closed so soon when all the interviews i have been able to find talk about how unbelievably popular it was. if a broadway show is popular, it is just extended. is that not how it works in the west end? do shows stick hard to their original run dates?
and i do not understand how carrie was able to keep it together when interacting with jamie. (i am kind of being facetious but not really.) i have fallen so damn in love with the guy in one week, and i just cannot imagine someone playing opposite him being able to keep it together when they have such intimate scenes.
I commented this on the first one but I’m gonna comment again lmao 😂 I would love to see a reaction video to you singing dead girl walking because you were incredible in that song! (And this song too ofc!!) ❤️
Yesss! Still possibly my favourite song from the cast album
Preferably the reprise
I don’t know if it’s just me but I like when your voice slightly breaks at the slower / sadder bit of the song - it adds spice for me ☺️
You killed it as Veronica! I wish I could've seen it live 😭💕
Samee
Can't honestly describe how much I love "I Say No", such an empowering and emotional strong perfromed incredibly by someone so many people (myself included) look up to and respect to much! ❤❤
Omg that little wink story was so cute! I absolutely adore these videos.
I like how your voice sort of breaks because you’re near tears. It definitely adds to the acting.
You were a perfect Veronica and the WestEnd cast made Heathers one of my favourite musicals ever ❤️
1. This is amazing. 2. Carrie is a fantastic Veronica 3. Jamie smiling during I Say No is a super cute tidbit. 4. A reaction video for Dead Girl Walking would be amazing!!!
you were the veronica i love the most. your line delivery, your humour, your acting, your voice .. everything. i think you and jamie are the best veronica’s and jd’s by far, you both brought the characters to life in such a spectacular way and it’s so fascinating to watch.
this was so interesting, i love this kind of behind the scenes talk! and i'm amazed at how strong and beautiful your singing voice sounds even when you were so ill!
That timing was something I loved sooooo much. It didn't smack me back into reality with an "oh yeah, singing" feeling that I sometimes get with musicals. It was so seamless. Just beautiful.
I can’t believe you were ill during this song, you sound incredible! I can’t even get out of bed when I have tonsillitis 😂
I honestly feel like that little break in your voice adds to the emotions of the song if you get what I'm saying? Like, Veronicas at the point of crumbling and it just shows that so well! You were such an amazing Veronica, I wish wish wish I'd known about Heathers back then and been able to see your amazing interpretation of Veronica ❤
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate you "speaking out" (if that's the right phrase) about how exhausting that show/role was and how helpful it would've been to have an alternate. And I especially respect and I appreciate your mentioning the pressure from the people higher up for you to do every show unless it was absolutely impossible. Anyone who knows any of the "lore" about Heathers the Musical should know and understand how challenging of a role Veronica is and how much of a toll it can take on any actor. In general I feel like there's not enough respect for challenging roles in theatre ("It's just playing pretend") and while obviously it's not working in a coal mine, it's still very intense and involved work and certain parts can be really exhausting. I hope it can become a more common practice in theatre to have alternates for really taxing roles, and I hope that can happen for some of the women's roles out there as well. Obviously I know Hamilton started out having an alternate since Lin Manuel was very busy both working on the show itself and with being a new father, but I'm so glad that happened because it helped make alternates more "mainstream." Even with an alternate for part of the Broadway run, Ben Platt was practically run into the ground playing Evan Hansen and it took a lot of time for him to recover. Obviously shows like Dear Evan Hansen and Hamilton and Les Mis have much bigger budgets than Heathers did, but I really hope going forward the team will make an effort to have a Veronica alternate (especially for the tour!) so that no other actresses have to wear themselves out in the role. So- thank you for talking about this and not just brushing it off. Not overworking yourself is such an important thing that especially gets brushed off in this industry and I hope that as more people speak up about it, changes will be made.
I dont think you'll ever see this, but YOU are my favorite Veronica!!! I love your voice for her. You and Jamie are the true Veronica and JD in my heart!! Thank you so much for sharing your voice and yourself!
I remember sitting in the audience when the song started and I raved about it to all my friends because it’s the song we never knew we needed. Also the lighting on JD that made him look like he was in black and white was genius. Truly was Veronica getting rid of her demons and I think a lot of people can relate. You smashed it
Even though I've never been able to see one in person, I'm obsessed with musicals. I'll listen to the soundtracks and imagine my own version of it in my head. I prefer musical numbers to pretty much any other kind of music. So when Carrie started Heathers I immediately listened to the whole soundtrack and fell completely in love with it. I even showed it to my brother and he loved it too. When I Say No came out, my bro and I listened to it together and it became my favourite song in the soundtrack (Dead Girl Walking is a close contender though). Anyway, Carrie puts so much fire and emotion into the song that I can't help but cry every time I listen to it. It's so powerful. And when i'm having a bad day, I blast it on high and sing at the top of my lungs. It never fails to cheer me up.
Why have you never been a keep to see a musical in person? :( one day!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Emily Peplow I’m a big lady. I don’t fit in normal seats at theatres so I hide in my den of shame and listen to music on the internet 😂
@@AndreaMGC oops excuse my weird typo on the last comment there, its late 😂 I feel you. I'm just your standard curvy size but boy those seats are tiny and my big arse feels snug in some of them! They are very old and people used to be so much smaller in both height and weight when these theatres were built 😅 you never know, one day!!
That song is so powerful because of Carrie! Amazing doesn’t cut it. The whole show was so special and leading the company with so much talent and class (even with tonsillitis) as your first time! Girl, you are too much!
Carrie you need to react to Addams family with Oliver
Somebody give this woman 5000 awards and maybe it will come close to what she deserves because that is INCREDIBLE
I seriously can't explain how much I fell in love with Heathers after I found it through you. Your version of Veronica had feeling so fierce and like I could conquer anything. I made a version of your blazer and it just makes me so happy. Thank you for sharing your version of this performance because I've watched this and it gives a fresh look at what you went through. Really sweet of Jamie to give a bit of encouragement during such a tough moment. I almost cried watching this because of how much meaning I Say No has for so many young men and women (myself included). Sending lots of love to you, Oli, and Edgar. 🌻💛
Speaking of Olivia Moore, you should react to her singing "I Say No". She was amazing!
No one can beat Carrie tho
I watch this exact bootleg everytime and the woman in front likes to stand up alot 😂😂😂😂
@@alexanderjhogg if you type into TH-cam "crazy girl breaks into guys house to have s3x and then kills 3 people" it should come up or heathers slime tutorial
@@maceytiller1999 The one that comes up for me is not Carrie as Veronica
@@alexanderjhogg umm maybe just put in west end Heather's carrie hope fletcher 😊👍
@@alexanderjhogg The person has the videos unlisted. But! if you go to the channel (boo boo the channel picture is converse sneakers) there is a playlist with the videos
@@sierraharkess9744 Not all heroes wear capes! I have struggled with the idea of watching this boot but I think I will as a gift to myself after finishing my college prescreens! Thanks for providing the info if I decide to watch it!!
Just want you to know that when I’m mad, angry, sad, any emotion really, I can get in my car and drive and play I say no, and just feel 100% better. You’re amazing Carrie.
Carrie: I was sick
Me: wtf doesn't sound it at all!
this song is probably the most powerful song i've ever heard because i've been through traumatic relationships in the past and finally i stood up and said no
In response to all of the comments about your version of Veronica, I saw the show for my birthday, June 14th during previews at The Other Palace, and ended up sharing a bench in the lobby with Laurence's parents. They told me that they'd seen every version of the show up till that point and that they thought you were the best Veronica. It's incredibly difficult to make a role your own when the fans are expecting something else but you did an amazing job.
Les mis, Éponine bootleg is the most confusing sentence to people outside of the MT world 😂
I so wish I could have gone! The connection Carrie always seems to have with the audience is amazing. I would love to see her live in a show.
Your react-videos are definitely very different from the usual react-videos I see on youtube and I adore your videos for it.
You manage to describe you and your feelings and all the background information so well. So on point but with so bloomy descriptions that everyone can eactly understand where you are coming from.
And even when you give not so nice information, e.g. about the management of the musicals vs. the health of the actors, you are able to give it with so much care and no accusions or bitterness, that the viewer can really understand all the sides. Very reflective, very deep, lovely :)
I would love to watch more, if you decide and like to do more of them. :)
Greetings from Germany
I went to see Heathers at The Other Palace before I Say No, which was amazing. Two days after I went I heard it was put in, so I went back to try and get another ticket, and somehow there was ONE ticket left at box office at the best seat in the house tbh, right in the middle at eye-height with everyone on stage. Definitely did not keep it dry that day!
I remember i came to see it during the week of closing and i saw olivia as veronica, she was amazing!! however I wish i had seen you xx
This song is so powerful, I'm so glad it was written and I'm so glad that you were the person to bring it to life
I came to England on my study abroad from Canada and Heather's was my first and only West End show that I saw while was in the country ❤️ it was the most gorgeous musical I have ever seen ❤️ you made me feel so many emotions, thank you for being amazing 🥰
Carrie has seen this bootleg, which means Carrie has heard me "AWH" when she kisses JD after Dead Girl Walking and the whole fucking theatre laughs.
So she's experienced me being a fucking moron TWICE.
I am so sorry (but also not because I got a whole theatre to laugh at me)
oh my god I listen to that "aw" all the time in dead girl walking and it always cracks me up you're basically famous
OMG THAT WAS YOU???? good one mate
Laugh WITH you. That was adorable.
EVERYONE LOVED THAT
Carrie, you are such an amazing performer! The fact that you could belt that song while being sick just shows how amazing you are!!! That is one of my all time favorites that you sing. I have attempted singing "I Say No" but I cannot belt it like you can. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!
I’m so happy this video came out Carrie! Sending you love ❤️
The fact that you had TONSILLITIS and still sang as amazing as you always do. What a queen 🥳❤
Absolutely loved Carrie in this role, got goosebumps again watching this!
I was introduced to Heathers the musical through you and I have absolutely fallen in love with it the more I watched your vlogs and listened to the album.
I'm not that big of a fan of Heathers, but when I checked the West End version and heard this song I definitely had to add it to my musical tracks playlist! You're fantastic!
Ahahha, incase people don't have social media, there was a slight problem with overlapping clips ❤️
I would LOVE to see you react to the other scenes from this bootleg! It's amazing to know what goes on behind the scene!
PS. oh my god i can't believe you went and fixed the audio issues to make it perfect!
You were amazing in Heathers, the whole cast were just perfection. When I heard 'I say no' for the first time, I was one of those people in the audience that cried... such an incredibly powerful song. Thanks for being the most wonderful Veronica! ❤💛💚💙
You sound so phenomenal in this! and the fact you did it whilst conveying SOOO much emotion and also being really ill just boggles my mind! I wish I’d got to see the show and hoping to see Cinderella next year to be blown away by your vocals in person ❤️
im sobbing as im watching this. carrie one day i'll get to watch your magic on stage. thank you for giving so much of yourself through your art.
I have been watching this bootleg version since April because I'm in New Zealand so there's no chance I'd ever be able to see it live! But oh my god this entire show brought me to tears, Carrie is the PERFECT veronica - her mannerisms, her chemistry with the rest of the cast, her voice!!!! I love this show so much and it has really helped me get through lockdown
When you mentioned being super sick during this (btw I couldn't even tell bc you sounded great!) I wonder if, going forward, things are going to change with expectations, from both upper management & audiences, of performers going on despite being ill (or injured!). I really hope so, because the amount of stories I've heard of people going on when they probably shouldn't have is astounding! (myself included! it's very hard to be immune to the "show must go on" mentality lol). It's simply not healthy for anyone, not the performer nor the cast/crew. And given the current situation, that's not something one could even imagine happening if theatre were to go on as normal. IDK if you listen to the Daily podcast from the New York Times but in a recent episode they highlighted the one Actor's Equity sanctioned production going on right now in the US and it's Godspell over at Theatre in the Berkshires. there are very very strict rules with health and safety and the cast/crew are contained in quarantine bubbles. Super fascinating listen, makes you wonder if that's how things have to go in our industry moving forward.
Would love love love love to hear you sing it again !
The fact that she re-edited the video to fix the music shows commitment ♥️♥️♥️ we STAN
I feel like I SO relate to your illness problems finishing heathers. I’m chronically ill and was basically pushed out of my job around the same time. It’s so great that we both now have new exciting things coming up ❤️
Pleased you have something great coming up ☺️ I had to leave a job because of their awful responses to my health at the time. It was the best decision I ever made so I hope things work out amazingly for you ❤️
I was there on the last night, I had no clue you were ill until watching this! My dad (a 51 year old head teacher) has been obsessed with heathers ever since I dragged him along on that night. Absolutely loved it ❤️
West End Heather's always reminds me of Thailand, because I listened to the album SO much when I was in Thailand in March last year for my brother's wedding, it brings me right back to that first shower in the hotel, after the 14 hour plane ride, it reminds me of the pizza I always had there, of the trips we went on, such amazing memories ❤❤
It wasn’t until I heard I say no and listened to your cast recording that Heather’s became one of my favorite shows ever. You were the core reason for that and you are PHENOM!! Would have never guessed you were sick!
the second to last i say no was SOOO powerful and amazing you ROCKED it Carrie
Aah I was feeling sad yesterday and was binging Heathers to feel better. And then this turns up!
Loved watching this! When I went to see you it was unsure if you were going to come out as I saw it two weeks before it closed. When you came out the crowd went so wild! Think your a trooper for doing veronica so ill and you smashed it!
i LOVE the unique choices that you made!! as an actor u gotta bring your own interpretation to the role thats what makes it so cool!!!! 😍🤩😍🤩😍
I can confirm I was bawling my eyes out in the second row on that performance. Such an incredible show
I really need this song just now. Thank you
1st - I would love to sound like this with tonsillitis XD (Only had it twice in my life, but always f**ked up my voice)
2nd - I hope now that we know what a viral infection can mean, the "higher ups" and fans are more understanding if an actor is off for a week to recover. After all, we're not machines.
But allowing yourself to recover is the hardest I find - the pressure actors give themselves is probably the hardest.
I cried watching this. I came to watch the show in the final week at the Haymarket and it was phenomenal xx
Yep I was definitely one of those audience members breaking down during I say no. Sorry about that 😅
Also, it's incredible that you still sing so well with tonsillitis. How?!
I was probably one of those people you had to avoid looking at during I Say No as front row is my favourite place to sit. And being that close and seeing all the emotion pouring out of you and your incredible voice sent me crying and goosebumps. I miss it so much! 😭
Seeing you singing I say no live really makes me wish I could have seen you do it ❤️
i say no is genuinely my favourite song of the heathers musical, and probably in my top 5 musical songs in general
Honestly this was such a wonderful video to watch. I've been watching the music vid for this song hundreds of times recently because I created a backing track by ear and arranged it as a 7 part group number so I'm so used to thinking of it in terms of purely its parts and lines and music. But hearing you react and talk about how emotional it was for you and the amount you gave to the role really has made this song have an even bigger part in my heart, so thank you, and thank you for bringing it such life and making it such an incredible song 💙💙💙 (also I never thought about the "but I love you!!" as a scary moment until this and wow it adds so much)
Watched the whole show just the other day! It was so cool to see it after watching vlogs from the time :D
I saw you in Heathers to weeks before the end of the run as my 22th birthday present. It was everything! I have so much respect for how you did that whilst being so ill. Hads of to you 👏🏾👏👏🏻
this is my favourite bootleg! always always always get chills during I Say No and I always get so choked up at the ending!
Yay! I’ve been waiting for this video, these videos never fail to cheer me up x
You sound phenomenal! This song meant so much to me when it came out and now too aswell!! I love getting to know you!!!
I’ve never believed in watching bootlegs on principle and in fact have only very recently discovered slime tutorials. As a result of being bed bound since before covid though , I am now trying to watch a few now as a way of finally seeing some productions I love and wouldn’t get to see any other way and not just loving and appreciating musicals but it’s the best way of helping my mental health too as a result of being stuck inside for so long and not having any interaction with the world.
I love Carrie for listening to her growth, and her chatting about all things musicals, and her love of books too and she along with my daughter has inspired me to want to set up some kind of book club to when I move if I can.
People were talking about what they felt like being like during lockdown for five minutes. Yet suddenly the world opened up online after saying for years it was too difficult to do things.
Gradually things are going back to normal apart from things people have forgotten to take down.
It was lovely for that short time to have things accessible for us for once as music and shows especially just make you feel so happy and positive, no matter what is happening in your life.
I so miss live shows but hopefully when we move and finally get some care, I can potentially look at being able to get out of bed again and eventually get to see a show again before too long.
That is my dream anyway.
Love to all ❤
I REALLY enjoy all your behind the scenes videos.
You're a sweetheart for doing this.
I remember going to the second to last show of heathers at Haymarket, and it was just magical; if you would have told me that you were ill while performing I would have laughed at it, because it was nowhere to be seen or heard. even though bootlegs are iffy I absolutely love that one, because it has the exact same energy that the show I went to had; I can still remember Lauren and some other members of the ensemble standing at the side of the stage singing along to dead girl walking reprise, or Jamie dancing in a corner of the stage at a point where JD wasn't present. thinking of the show still makes me cry of happiness, which says a lot considering how 2018 was the worst year of my life.
I say no ended up being one of my fave songs, along with never shut up again - partly for the costume change😂 Also, I saw you as Veronica at the start of the Haymarket run and also when you had tonsillitis and you absolutely killed it even when you were so ill! You’ll always have that little voice in your head doubting yourself however can confirm the voice is wrong and you were fab as per usual👏🏻 And as a bigger girl I very much so appreciated a “curvier” Veronica and your choices were perfect. ps, thanks for all the videos through lockdown- you’ve helped keep me sane- Thank you🖤
