I was wondering why this video felt so nostalgic, but it's because you're sitting in front of your bookshelves and this very much feels like 2014 Carrie video's :)

Still holding out for the day that you finally release your 'theatre memoirs' in a book - I, for one, am ready for all of that juice

I'm always enthralled by how badass excellent swings are covering as much as they do. The literal backbone of a show in some cases.

The thing about makeup is also that between the distance from audience to stage and the lighting, sometimes things don’t have to be picture perfect to look like it is. Like with Cats, you don’t have to take ages to get the look distinct and correct for stage. Or makeup made to age someone, it’s not going to be perfect up close but it’s going to work for stage.

Also I loved the face you made when you backtracked on “thrust into positions” 😂😂

I thought of Hannah Lowther when you were talking about swings/ensemble cast members who are so fab at everything the producer's want to keep a hold of her. I fully believe she could act out heather's on her own and be brilliant!!! x

Oh my god! That second to last question is something we talk about in Community Theatre a lot. I am usually always cast the smaller roles to help fill the acting in musicals or just the odd roles in plays. I used to feel weird about it until directors told me that it’s because I make the small roles bigger. Swings and covers and the lot are just incredible performers. I wish we talked about the politics more when it comes to casting! It is so interesting! Wonderful video btw 🥰

I love getting an insider look into something I'm so passionate about. Can't wait to see once, from what Ive seen online, it's gonna be incredible.

I love these videos because they are really educational on the world of theatre which I love! greatly appreciated!

I got massive pangs of pure nostalgia just seeing you do a sit down chatty video. All that was missing was the Fallen Snow tune in the back ground and I may have cried. May Myself and I

I can relate to some of this! I work in film & TV production and people assume it must be an easy job! They don’t realise the amount of prep that goes into it beforehand, sort of like theatre rehearsal/tech days, and the hours are long and it can be stressful! And the amount of people you will work with on one production, its insane! Once the job ends you lose contact with most of them as people move onto new projects but your paths sometimes cross again on future jobs and it’s always nice to catch up when that does happen, but yes not everyone will end up in your circle of friends. It’s not all glamour in the Arts! But we love it!

[SarahKilby]

Love these little snippets into behind the curtain theatre life. I have had my own assumptions throughout the years. Many of which, your insights have kicked into touch and I can honestly say that I have a greater respect for those working in theatre because of this. Thank you x
I cannot wait to see you as Madame T!!!
Cameron, if you are listening, make it happen 😉🤞🤞🤞😊🙃

I just suddenly remembered your channel today and I am so happy to see you’re still creating content!! God, like 2014-ish I loved watching your videos. I believe I first saw you in one of Phil’s videos, such a nostalgic era for me. I hope you’re doing well❤️

[stephcatto]

I love seeing these kind of videos back. I love seeing the bookcase background and cup of tea back

[polarvoyd]

Love to hear you talk about theatre, you're so passionate about it!

I would love to see an "Author assumptions" video as I'm sure there are lots if misconceptions about you specifically when it comes to writing given you were known prior to your books.

[milliemckeown]

Honestly for a person like me who is training to go into the industry and is nervous about casts and getting to know people this is so helpful. I also love how you can just sit down and talk about these things, I love all your videos backstage and at Disney etc but this just feels like you’re sat down and talking to me as a friend who wants that feeling of it’s okay to be nervous about those things. I thanks you 1 million times over…sending all the love ❤️

[DoctorBella]

Carrie, you did a cameo for me for Valentine's Day from my husband James. It was so meaningful. Thank you so much for the lovely words. Hugs from the USA!

[holly]

That green jumper/ring combo is glorious!

[ginat.]

Loved this! Like a blast from the past. I remember seeing you and Rob as Eponine and Marius in 2014, and many times since. Then when you were Fantine at the staged concert. Would LOVE to see you return as Fantine, but Madame Thenardier would be hilarious too. It's so nice to hear that you'd be open to return to Les Mis. Thanks for being so nice at stage door back in 2014 and later, you've brought me so much joy.

[lifeasnikki]

I haven't watched your videos in a while, but this one made me so happy and nostalgic and I realized I missed your videos so much <3 Plus, the bookshelves background is absolutely stunning!
