7 Things I NEED Backstage! | My Top Performance Must-Haves 2017

Hi FRIENDS!!! It's me, Kat, and TODAY I'm going to share my top 7 backstage essentials. Basically, the things I love bringing with me when I'm going to do a performance.
COMMENT YOUR BACKSTAGE ESSENTIALS DOWN BELOW!
Like I mention in the vid, I'm not going to mention stage makeup or character shoes anything like that because things I actually use onstage differ depending on the show. Additionally, I like to do my stage makeup at home because it can get kinda crazy backstage.

[@sarahj5161]

I'm fairly certain that shows run on bobby pin power.

[@05RoadRunner]

Same

[@rainybopz]

I swear yes

[@faithlee8675]

I’ve literally lost HUNDREDS of Bobby pins and I don’t even know how...

[@oliverrodriguez6444]

MY MUST HAVES ARE: Touch up makeup water sour patch kids goldfish cough drops my steamer cell phone script headphones listerine strips hair brush bobby pins wig caps motovational quotes on a piece of paper a picture of my family and MORE WATTER And Deodorant/spray

[@eelthan]

okay but goldfish is just it’s an essential i don’t know why but it just is

[@cheesyfruit4401]

i agree the only other thing for me is chapstick

[@izzied8874]

I literally have a pencil pouch with me at every show, and I set it out at my station for everyone to use. It always include fruit snacks, ibuprofen, hand sanitizer, cough drops and Bobbi pins(honestly same with these they disappear so quickly) and then I switch out what ever I'm feeling like! I love you Katherine thanks for this video!

[@aesthetictrash4641]

Izzie D everyone needs someone like you in their theatre

[@toriiwoodd]

In addition to all the things you mentioned, I also have a little journal/diary that I keep backstage during performances and so when I’m off stage I can write. I like to write down how I’m feeling and how the shows going and stuff so that when I’m stressed out and sad I can look back through my performance journal and remember how happy performing makes me😊💗

[@calebjdavisnc]

Tori Wood this is a great idea!

[@katygoodrich3256]

I always bring straws because of mics and stuff like that.

[@theblackcat2792]

Good idea

[@dakotadominique9063]

That’s such a great idea!

[@Annesglitter]

Tori Wood oh my gosh, that’s so clever!

[@hiraethsystem3001]

Three essentials for me: Hairspray! I have extremely curly hair and I do a lot of period shows because my voice is more classical, so to get the sleek look that was popular a lot in the 19-early 20th century, I have to have extra strength hairspray. Gum! My director for Les Miserables this summer introduced me to the magic of chewing gum constantly if your voice is having a bit of trouble. That plus orange juice and a lemon juice/honey mixture every night kept me from missing shows/rehearsals during a very intense week of shows for Mary Poppins and all-day music rehearsals for Les Mis. Water! I drink an incredible amount of water on a daily basis but when I'm performing I drink even more. Water is magic.

[@madisonmae7513]

Hufflepuffs Are Cool Too who were you in les mis?

[@hiraethsystem3001]

Amelia Simmons I was a turning woman!

[@madisonmae7513]

Hufflepuffs Are Cool Too lucky I've always wanted to do les mis I want to play Enjorlas even though I'm a girl

[@kirstyharrington7587]

Hufflepuffs Are Cool Too I heard hairspray and corny Collins just started singing in my head "IS IT CHARM IS IT POISE NO ITS HAIRSPRAY!"

[@imxginxry8477]

Hufflepuffs Are Cool Too Who were you in Mary Poppins?? I'm performing this year as Mrs. Corry (owner of mrs. Corrys talking shop) 💕

[@ourlittleways3451]

[@julie-anne756]

Hope your day got better! 💕💕

[@maevewissinger1295]

Have a good day it's maeve again

[@sageyikes]

i usually bring the bare minimum lol like my phone, pads/tampons, water, stuff like that. watching this late lol but #theatrethursdayfam!!

[@charlottelarkin755]

I like bringing my script with me even when I’m off book, just so I can check when I next need to come on and from way side of the stage. It is also helpful for me to go through the script if I get nervous so I know that I can remember the lines and ques and I don’t panic on stage

[@jasminaj3682]

I've been on a binge watching session of your vids! You are so smart and resourceful! You're also really positive and your personality and enthusiasm is infectious! Keep up the amazing work 😊 xxx

[@lalalalaaAa123]

I gotta bring headphones! A lot of the time I have a playlist for the character I'm playing on my phone that gets me in the mindset before the show!

[@emilybrooke3432]

I'm currently in Big Fish right now and we open next Friday!! I will definitely be using these! Thanks Katherine🐟💓

[@mallorysmith7281]

I always make sure to bring my script so I can study up to make sure I don’t forget any lines. It actually really helps even though I’m normally off book within like a week. It just helps to make sure that you don’t forget

[@CalcioDramatica]

You are so fun!! I’m in a Broadway Sings show this coming weekend and packing for it now. This helps! I’m going to bring my Instax - didn’t think of that before seeing this. I’m going to do my stage makeup at home now after being rushed last time!

[@hannahschutzler569]

These videos always make my day feel 110%

[@evesperling9784]

Love your videos, as always! ❤️ I'm so happy there is such a wonderful theatre-related KZbinr out there!

[@Kath_Steele]

+Eve Sperling ah THANK YOU! 💕

[@evesperling9784]

Katherine Steele I just watched your Wednesday Addams tutorial video and you're 21?! I never would have guessed, you hold yourself very maturely! I'm 20 myself 🙈

[@aleenasoto431]

these types of videos are honestly my favorite though!!

[@somethingnexttonormal]

The one time I was on my phone backstage I missed my entrance

[@harrisonkendall2883]

Omg I was feeling sick this morning and ala Katherine Steele, I drank copious amounts of water and felt better by the end of the day. Water ftw!!

[@user-vo3cm8zl5f]

So helpful! I have a show in two days and I am definitely using these tips :)

[@sophgrace7625]

Love you so much 💕💕💕

[@ellyb.349]

I've been doing pantomime for a couple of years now and I also do shows with my dance school and a lot of my necessities are the same tbh! I always make sure I have water, some snacks (not really chocolate for panto though because it can make my throat a little clogged which isn't good for singing), mints/chewing gum but I find mints better because you won't accidentally leave them in, and then just some stuff to do when I'm not on stage e.g. my phone, a book, maybe some homework/revision, just general things like that, plus my glasses. Also, deodorant and maybe perfume so I don't stink, and makeup to top up/finish off when I'm there! Love your videos Katherine!! xx

[@aria.9485]

I just came back from a rehearsal and I saw this. Made my day much better.

[@emdawkins4605]

ahh backstage I always a dressing gown or a change of clothes because on a two show day we go out for lunch and I don't wanna be looking sweaty aha, love you Katherine!! ❤️❤️

[@Yokodono]

These videos are hyping me for doing drama next year at school. StoOOoOoOoOOp I'm already waiting for it.

[@hemmelgarndesigns]

I always bring: - cough drops - bobby-pins - stage makeup - facial cleanser, or makeup wipes - phone and charger - safety pins (just in case) - a robe (mine is thin and lightweight and easier to pack than a big jacket) - flats (to wear around before I’m in costume)

[@ShannonLeighMusic]

Yay this will be so helpful when I’m performing!! I’m in a show & this will be awesome ☺️💕

[@Sarahandthevintagebooks]

And I keep repeating the part of you singing ❤️❤️❤️ so beautiful :O

[@Uhhbyeee]

I was looking forward to this. YAY backstage

[@rachelflanagan1977]

My theatre performance kit: water, makeup, big pringles tube (to keep up the energy) hair bobbles and pins

[@nataliemiller7821]

dude I am obsessed with your videos omg!! I have always loved theater and Broadway but I am just now really starting to get into it because newsies on Broadway is on Netflix (lowkey watched that a minimum of 8 times) but yeah I love you so much you du best

[@Kath_Steele]

+Natalie Green aw thanks love!! 🦄🌙🙌🏻 #TheatreThursdayFam 🎉💕🎭

[@jjnorth2359]

Hi Katherine I have a little 'tool kit' in my show bag - scissors, sewing kit and safety pins are always included for last minute wardrobe panics! Also my own roll of mic tape (it's like gold dust)

[@maeve8029]

Hey Katherine, I'm not sure if you already filmed one yet, but for your monthly makeup-character look for October you could do a really cool Into the Woods Witch look! I just thought of that character out of nowhere and I thought it might be good for Halloween! 🎃💕xxx

[@adeleb4112]

I always have a blanket...always...one time we did a play during winter that was set in summer.... having a blanket made it so much better

[@muchadoaboutliz]

I generally have some throat coat with me during shows. Especially if they're longer shows or during the winter. I also have homework that I bring to work on when I'm not on stage.

[@lynternet]

I for some reason get sooooo unbelievably thirsty during shows so I always make sure that I have a water bottle with me that will inevitably get refilled at least twice during the duration of that one show. I also have to make sure I have my inhaler because all those nerves can make my chest a little tight.

[@bamboo72498]

I haven't done a show in like a million years, but when I did, this is what I kept in my bag: Costume (if I brought home pieces), dance shoes, a hoodie or jacket (similiar reason as yours, Kath), water bottle, a pen, a pencil, the current book I'm reading, music and maybe a speaker, pixi stix (literal crack!), and a deck of cards (I learned to play blackjack during a show). There might be more, I can't remember, but that'e the gist of it.

[@allisonjouett6681]

You're a queen!! 👑👑👑

[@guineapiggirlforgod4549]

I ADORED THAT GODSPELL REFERENCE!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lp-wz7re]

makeup, gum, caramel hard candies, hairspray, curling iron/straightener, brush, change of clothes, extra contact solution, hair ties, chargers, water, deodorant, extra shoes, and a bluetooth speaker (if my cast mates dont mine😉) i gave you a complete rundown, sorry!😂

[@thattheatrejen9987]

I did the school musical and I was in the ensemble. We all brought HUGE jumpers to the shows because, in the opening of the show, us girls had to wear this sleeveless dresses. Backstage, it was freezing so we were all walking around in huge (like giant) sweaters with our stage make up on, our hair done and our dresses under our sweaters and we all looked ridiculous. That is such a good memory i have from that show.

[@sophiepowers3013]

Hey Katherine, I got the lead in the school show and this is my first LEAD EVER ! A bunch of people are going to see the show. (Plus a bunch of other directors I will work with in the future) is there any other advice you have? My rehearsal bag is pencils, pencils, pencils, did I say pencils?

[@sammiephilp2637]

Sophie Powers omg congrats!! I’m still trying to get a lead... 😭 what show is it??

[@lp-wz7re]

congratulations!

[@julie-anne756]

Congrats!! I wish you luck with rehearsals!

[@sophiepowers3013]

Thanks guys I am doing Tammy : the coming age story about a girl who is part trex. As you can tell this is an abstract show. I am Tammy!

[@sierrapop6563]

Sophie Powers OMG SAME OMGOMGOMG

[@bellyworth7380]

Yes! I thought I was the only one who bring sour patch kids to every show! I also always keep them around during tech week in case I need a pick me up during million hour rehearsals

[@kyraditto997]

1. Water or Gatorade, always 2. My phone and earbuds 3. Some touch up makeup and regular makeup 4. Reese’s cups 5. Body spray and deodorant 6. Blanket or Jacket 7.Breath mints or gum 8. Granola Bar

[@sarahg7800]

must backstage things 1. fuzzy blankets/ jackets 2. touch up makeup 3. Bobby pins and hair ties 4. 16 ounce water bottle ( we usually do multiple performances in a day) 5. phone 6. All of my dance shoes (jazz, tap and character shoes) 7. strapless bras (for strapless dresses and what not)

[@adriannazones5833]

hairspray is such a must for me. i use it so i don't slip with the bottom of my shoes and of course my hair too. but i was just in a production of hairspray and oh my God i used like 4 or 5 huge cans of it within 4 shows + a few tech rehearsals.

[@piperdoolen8260]

What I bring backstage -my script and dance shoes -touch up makeup -a pack of jolly ranchers (same idea as the sour patch kids) -a jacket -pens and my journal -a book -body spray -my phone and earbuds -so, so, So, SO MUCH WATER!! (Yay hydration!!)

[@emilyewins5842]

Hi Katherine ❤️ I always bring some colouring or knitting or something to the theatre. I get a bit stressed so it's nice to get distracted also our stage manager really likes to tell us every five minutes how long it is until the show starts from like an hour before it actually does 😂😂😂 love you loads you are amazing !!!

[@Kath_Steele]

+Emily Ewins ❤💘💕💖

[@ulvenkun2618]

my theatre bag -water bottle -makeup pallete,brushes etc. -vaseline -ludens -brush -hairspray hairgel -BANDAIDS (im clumsy) -script -phone earbuds and charger -snacks for my dressing room/pals -DEODORANT

[@diannegrecording7213]

Ive never been in a show but I’ve started on screen acting lessons sooooo wish me luck Love ya Kath

[@sarahshepherd2559]

I always put lemon wedges in my water - it tastes great and it clears my throat, especially if I'm sick

[@faithhnix7042]

I'm... im so early wow I dropped everything I was doing because I'm a loyal fan 😂😂❤️

[@sofstanganelli]

am I binge watching your videos because im excited for my performance and need someone to geek out with??? maybe....

[@emme1782]

Also i love you so much kat!!💖

[@benthomasgrant1081]

The biggest must have: Paperclips, staples or folders for loose pages in script or sheet music. Also I'm playing Seymour right now and I have breakable glasses for when Orin shoves me and they fall off, so I am constantly having to tape them during intermission.

[@daniellepady]

IM SO EARLY, HI KAT I LOVE U

[@Kath_Steele]

I LOVE U 2!

[@theo7000]

I usually bring makeup wipes, my phone, a charger, fooooood, either a board game or a card game and a book so I can write if I'm feeling bored. I'll definitely think of being my instax camera though!

[@emilykazoo]

Last time I was this early Julie Jordan was a working woman💕 Also I always bring a portable speaker (everyone will thank you for it) dry shampoo, and if I'm feeling extra a facial steamer

[@yeehaw3309]

So I'm watching theatre Thursday with my 2 year old sister and after the intro she goes, "and the worrrllldd"😂❤

[@lauragunning1533]

Yes!! I LIVE for sour patch kids both backstage during a show and just in my everyday life. They're my favorite candy. I always have bobby pins, safety pins, honey lemon lozenges & vitamin C drops, hair elastics, clear nail polish(for ripped tights), band-aids, Advil, lots of hairspray and of course my water bottle. I'm also a big fan of doing my stage makeup at home ahead of time but then I always bring my giant makeup case with me to the show too because you never know when someone has forgotten something when packing their stuff. Same goes for my dance shoes I'll always bring my big duffle bag of shoes ( I have multiples of each kind of dance shoe bc of different styles, colors etc) at least twice I have had people running around backstage bc they're forgot to bring their shoes 😂 basically I'm terribly over prepared. And in case you're wondering how I carry all of this stuff I usually haul it back & forth to and from my car during shows in a laundry basket, it's a little trick I learned in high school & it works pretty efficiently.

[@maleaniesen2433]

Ahh! I just got the main role of Winnie foster in tuck everlasting! It is one of the first productions off broadway!

[@aiya3130]

My top backstage must-have (after water) is apples! :) The pectin in them is great for your voice (learned this from a director who talked to a voice specialist at the Met), and the sweetness helps with nervous dry-mouth.

[@melodydyk6170]

If you could I would kill for a video that is a conglomeration of every time you say "AND THEN THE WORLD" it would take a lot of work but it would be so funny XD THANKS FOR THE TIPS KATH perfect as always :3

[@dylanyearslay2329]

My must haves are dental floss, toothbrush, charcoal toothpaste, chai tea bags, safety pins. Love you xxx

[@isabellayow8901]

Love youuuu!!!

[@michaelaalcordo1614]

This will totally help me whenever I do get into a production! I'm just so nervous and scared that I strayed away from auditioning ;-; Anyways, love you Kat! ❤️❤️

[@kyosgirl92]

I haven't been in a play in seven years. (Basically since my senior year of high school. But the one thing I have never been able to go on stage without pixie sticks. It was something we started in like 5th grade and I think the one time we didn't have pixie sticks one of our main guys (who was all stage makeuped up) went to the nearest drug mart to get up some.

[@kyrah.13]

Here's what I bring to every performance: Makeup Wipes, personal mirror (that way I don't have to crowd around a wall mirror if I'm sharing a dressing room with a ton of people), bandaids, stage makeup, water, a book (depending on the show, like if I am absent for quite a few scenes and have nothing to do), Bobby pins, a giant Winnie the Pooh button down shirt (same reason as your jacket, I just like my Winnie the Pooh shirt), stage makeup, water (Yay for Nathan Jr.!), my glasses, and slippers (the character shoes I have right now are super uncomfortable, so I get out of those whenever possible.)

[@alexishickey3867]

This is pretty much always in my performance bag; an apple ( I eat one before every show), cough drops, water, an assortment of tea bags, all the Bobby pins, hair spray, extra tights (I always seem to rip mine on something), and a book (reading something before a show, other than my script, helps me get out of my head and calm down my nerves)

[@twicetism]

Omg I take my instant and digital camera to shows (I take my digital just in case I run out of film) and I take all these adorable pictures

[@elliemedina5606]

Best day of the week!!!!!!! #theatrethursday

[@DuckPuppet]

YASSSS NATHEN JR!!!! WORK IT!

[@LondonLadybug]

Vocalzones!! Not sure if you have them in the US, they're little menthol lozenges you take before you sing and they're amazing for making your throat feel nice and clear!

[@hannahschutzler569]

My must haves are my make-up in case for any touchups, my water bottle, my jazz or character shoes, Bobby pins, and my phone

[@livy7443]

YOUR MY FAVOURITE KZbinR❤️

[@Kath_Steele]

+hamilton trash !! THANK YOU!! ❤💘🌙🎶💫

[@lexislifestyle9887]

My stuff usually varies but I always have dance shoes, makeup, sweat pants (my over clothes) water, and bobby pins

[@ahnehagen8141]

I always bring lemon juice. like the one people use in their tea or for cooking food. It really helps if I have a sore throat. I also always bring deodorant and/or perfume, especially if I know I'm gonna be all up on another person. I also bring paracetamol and cough drops just in case.

[@emmaregister5009]

Performances for the production of Legally Blonde I'm in start Friday of next week and I normally bring sour patch kids, a charger, snacks, body spray, makeup (for touch ups--I hate doing my makeup at the theater), hair stuff (ie hair brush, spray, bobbie pins, etc), and WATER (especially for Legally Blonde because I'm jump roping and dancing and everything

[@sophiawoods9799]

My rehearsal/performance bag: - E-reader - Phone - Earbuds - Script - Water Bottle (Her name is Lily) - Hair Ties - Performance notes - Backstage journal

[@catherinejohnson9541]

I’m a dancer so my must haves can include peppermint oil for my ankles and Achilles. Bandaids seem to be a highly needed item, even if it is not a ballet.

[@emmaliztv]

Dropped everything

[@Juliaroselester]

YES RED SWEATER YES HIGH PONY YES CHOKER WOWOW YOU LOOK STRIKINGGGGGG

[@saharbrown1751]

My backstage must haves: bobby pins, Lysterine breath strips, water (sound familier?),😊 deodorant, makeup, hair brush. I love the idea of taking a big jacket, I will have to add that one!
