The "to get me some dinner for after I'm dead" just made me cry of laughter🤣🤣🤣

[@floralspectre]

Lotte Meinona Same!! (I was looking for someone who’d commented this)

[@nathancreek6086]

He did that stair thing so well I thought he found a secret entrance to the pit

[@mattk8460]

Same it was literally scary

[@phoeberose2046]

Ahaha but there’s no pit the orchestra are on stage!

[@nathancreek6086]

@@phoeberose2046 there's still a pit, it's just not in use

[@helenhoneytv]

It's so strange to think that while I was bawling my eyes out on 26th august pretty much through the entire show, you were comfortably reading a book!

[@chloe01010]

The tin of pins cracked me up Carrie 😂

[@abbychrist]

Dear Carrie, Long ago, I watched your cover of Pulled in 2014. I was so inspired. I went to my vocal teacher, and we learned it. I entered a local Idol competition, and made it to finals singing Pulled. Ever since then, I've never stopped singing musical theatre. These vlogs make my day to watch. Thank you so much for adding a joy to my life that I would never had experienced without you. You probably won't see this, but thank you.

[@fruitbowl-dh1mp]

My friend saw you the other day and she said you killed it!!!! We both adore you

[@eileenfoley4089]

Carrie, I’ve just found out my school is doing the Addams Family as our musical! Since it’s an all girls school, I’m going for Gomez, ( Cameron’s left an impression! Ahah). Love you lots x

[@olivia_vermast]

Eileen Foley that’s so fun!! Good luck!

[@kermit5478]

I'm sure you'll smash it! Break a leg :)

[@eileenfoley4089]

Katie thank you so much x

[@eileenfoley4089]

Olivia V thanks so much x

[@TheAshyAshton]

Update us on how it goes!

[@petersaunders5296]

I came to watch you in Les Miserables at The Geilgud and I have to say you absolutely smashed it. My mum didn't really know you before the show but was left crying by your rendition of I Dreamed a Dream. The rest of the cast and crew were also incredible. Have a great rest of the run 😁

[@justinekelly7677]

i met you at stage door yesterday. thank you so so much for being so lovely and kind and agreeing to take photos!!! it was honestly amazing to meet you and watch you perform!!!

[@madelinerobinson367]

I love seeing your backstage videos at shows so much! I find it so interesting to watch and always feel really inspired and motivated after. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration to so many people and for always using your platform for good. Please ignore the hate and always remember that the Hopefuls love you so much! xx

[@cassiescorner2906]

Thanks!♥️

[@sarahpealing6463]

I saw the production last week, I’ve seen you before in productions but seeing you as fantine was indescribable, you smashed the role. Best fantine I’ve seen, so powerful. Standing ovation during bring him home was unbelievably deserved! Loved every minute!

[@ChiB2004]

Hi carrie, You will probably never see this but i would just like to thank you. I used to be scared to perform and i got Wednesday (Addams) so i looked up tips. You came up and i was so inspired! So thank you! Keep doing what you are doing! Chiana xx Ps if you do find this let me know by liking or replying, okay thx bye!

[@itsramonalove]

always knew carrie was a hard worker but I didn't appreciate just how much of an understatement that is until I saw this. shes such a beacon of positivity and I love that. keep being you ms fletcher x

[@TheLoullas]

Is there any chance to see your performance of i dreamed a dream in the future? Or that you upload your version as Fantine on your channel?

[@tomgallowitz]

TheLoullas she’s probably not allowed since that’s technically bootlegging only a professional with permission can do that

[@meganmweemba]

She sings I Dreamed A Dream on her solo album, you can listen to it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4DOZZdviLCBi5o (Not the same as the live one I know but still great!)

[@oswinaltava]

they did a filmed version of the concert production of the show that's now available on dvd/streaming on amazon!

[@mewlue]

These videos never fail to make me feel a bit more positive, even under great stress. Thank you for the light that you cast, Carrie x

[@emmarohe2532]

I really want to see a video about how you warm up and take care of your voice such as steamers. Maybe a west end favorites or necessities

[@anikaphillips1372]

It is so lovely to see how much you have grown over the years.

[@draganfly]

We visited London last year and found that hotel short cut, just while wandering, and it's soooo pretty!

[@ionalane]

hi carrie, i’ve for a while wanted to me a musical theatre actress like you and you have showed me that even though it’s only a dream right now. it could at some point become a reality with hard work and dedication!! thank you for inspiring me.

[@Lifeonasofa]

The most amazing cast. I bought my bf along so see his first west end show. And we both cried several times. Outstandingly talented people on that stage. Love these vlogs Carrie xx

[@cassandrarose5369]

Carrie I just wanted to tell you how much I look up to you, and how much your videos make me smile. This year has been incredibly difficult. Six months ago my father passed away and then a month ago my sister passed away unexpectedly. Whenever I need a smile I turn to your videos. Being an actress myself I find myself in situations that you have been in. ( definitely not to your caliber but hopefully one day.) Thank you for everything that you do! 💛💛💛💛💛

[@LolaGabriella]

I am so sorry for your losses. I can't imagine what you're going through but I'm glad Carrie's videos are helping you. They've helped me in some dark times too. Sending lots of love ❤️

[@cassandrarose5369]

LolaGabriella thank you so much. It has been difficult but I am getting through! I am thankful that this group of people is so loving and supportive of one another! It definitely makes my days a little better 💛

[@hannahlou5176]

Awwh, that backstage bit was the show I saw! It was honestly so amazing! I've seen les mis many times and that was the best I've ever seen!

[@MasiaMaksymowicz]

"Its my time on my own" - did only me notice this :P

[@lydiaclarkson5122]

You are one of the most amazing people, Carrie, please never feel like you're the most hated person in the world, it couldn't be further from the truth! X

[@emilyslinger759]

Im Inspired by you Carrie! I’ve always wanted to be an actor and your whole channel has just made me want to do it more I love it soooo much!!! Thanks a ton xx 😘😘

[@hramsden1697]

My mum and I came tonight & you were just completely magical. The cast blew us away & there were a few tears from us (& many sitting near us!) - thank you SO much for such a wonderful evening!

[@Celimion]

It is always such a pleasure to see pop in my notification box! I couldn't get tickets for the time I was in London but I'm sure you're amazing as Fantine. Lots of love from France 😍😘

[@charlottewellman3090]

I saw the show on Wednesday and I was so gobsmacked. The whole cast was absolutely amazing and honestly for my first time ever watching les mis... I loved it!

[@seananthony9356]

This is absolutely adorable!! How one person can inspire us this much is beyond me!! 💖

[@katieleighh]

I’m going to see Les mis in two weeks and I can’t wait!!

[@mauralavenders]

Oh my god that last but reminded me of how my sister ended her run of madame Thénardier in our local production by dabbing at the end of that part.

[@indiagale7918]

I really love these videos, they're super relaxing somehow.

[@vickymitchell5707]

Wait... The bit that was closed off was near that restaurant (five guys i think it's called) I went there in July for my birthday (saw wicked for the 2nd time!!)... I'VE WALKED THE SAME GROWND AS CARRIE HOPE FLETCHER!!!! Carrie I'm not even kidding when I say I literally worship the ground you walk on.☺

[@sammyabbott1054]

Saw you last night in Cinderella absolutely wonderful thank you for a wonderful night xxx

[@liv27.]

Hi Carrie! Just wanted to say that you’re incredible and inspire so many😊

[@sapphire38127]

I came to see the concert on Wednesday the 4th (last night) and it was the most amazing experience of my entire life- I didn't stop crying from beginning to end and then sobbed dramatically when I saw you !! It was simply beautiful and I'm so thankful for the incredible patience and loveliness you have for all at stage door, it was my dream to see you and I'm so glad I got to finally do it!! I hope you love your letter, and have a great day!! Alfie boe was also sensational .... Bring him home had me at the edge of my seat in awe! Simply brilliant, much love!! Xx

[@amycsloth7900]

Your videos give me such joy, Carrie. I try to save them to watch in the mornings over breakfast, so afterwards I feel twice as productive and ready to face the day. :)

[@Namath9013]

Loving the weekly updates!

[@ells1263]

nothing better than getting in from a busy day, dressing gown on, cuppa tea in hand and carrie's vlog's - just perfection

[@jimmyking511]

I got to meet Mina and Lima at Harry Potter Celebration at Universal Studios Orlando a couple of years ago! They are so nice and have done such amazing work!

[@opheliahawkeswood]

You’re an inspiration Carrie 💜

[@lucyandizzy3968]

We saw the show on Tuesday evening and you were absolutely incredible! I dreamed a dream was beautifully sung, had a tear in my eye. Thank you for stopping to say hi and take a photo outside stage door afterwards when you must have been tired. Best of luck with the rest of the performances - Lucy xx

[@rubylee4588]

That moment when ur favorite actress is working with the guy who directed your Christmas show last year Ahhh I’m fangirling

[@rubylee4588]

It’s earl carpenter if ur wondering ^^^

[@rubylee4588]

^the stair guy

[@emmabutton7105]

Yyyeeesssss. I love these so much. Please keep them coming x

[@fabulousbookfiend9127]

I have read & enjoyed all 3 books you bought & Miranda’s book you mentioned-thanks for all the bookish content this week!

[@lilys191]

these videos are so chill i love it💓

[@charlotteconybeare1417]

Hi I saw you in Les Misérables on Friday night and I’m so glad to have had the privilege of watching you and that fabulous cast perform as well meeting you at stage door! Honestly such a dream come true. Your passion when performing is honestly beautiful and inspirational. Love you so much!!!

[@phoebeeowens]

I’m coming to see you tonight and i am so excited!!!!!

[@katiemunro1887]

Just what I need after a terrible stressful first day back at school! Thank you Carrie ❤️

[@jenniferchristian8115]

Katie Munro hope you’re okay xx

[@reginaphelange9241]

I’ve really been looking forward to this video 💙

[@Laraaxmovies]

Who could ever hate you? You’re such a kind, wonderful person 💞 best of vibes Carrie ✨

[@xtamsin]

I look forward to these vlogs so much! Xx

[@lucyevelyn4833]

I came to see you tonight! I’ve been wanting to see you in Les mis since you were last in it years ago and you were incredible, 100% the best I dreamed a dream I’ve ever heard and I’ve seen les mis 6 times ❤️

[@jessscopes498]

It was so lovely to see and meet you last week. You were amazing 💕

[@mirandamarvin6489]

It makes me so sad that you sometimes feel like the most hated person on the planet 🥺 please know how loved and respected you are! If people are willing to waste their time spreading hate and negativity then that should be their problem and not yours; (I know it’s easy to say that when you’re not the person receiving the hate !) I love these videos so much and I’m so grateful that you share these parts of your life with us 🤩💛🦄

[@Marja1992]

I freaking love your vlogs. Thank you for sharing so much with us

[@laurenkatie9021]

Coming to see this tonight and I’m so excited! Begged my mum to come from Blackpool just to see you as Fantine! Wish I could meet you to tell you how much you’ve inspired me but watching you in Les Mis (fave musical) is the dream!

[@JustTheAmanda]

Hank Green's book is wonderful! I bought it for my brother for Christmas last year and read it after he had finished. It's a very engaging and thoughtful read, with twists and turns you don't always see coming!

[@abigailboucher8171]

I love you and you’re vlog so so so much. Thank you for everything you do and make my day❤️❤️❤️

[@ElinorMahoney]

Coming to see you on Wednesday Carrie!! Can't wait x

[@n.2706]

That ending was the cutest thing ever!! 💛

[@fool4spuffy]

it’s back!!! yay!!

[@Deelove24601]

Every day, you inspire me.

[@amymia5605]

Was waiting for this video!! Xxx

[@gracepaisley3919]

Love your videos,you are so inspirational❤️ Love you 😍

[@saskia4303]

AART is the best book I've read in years, it's amazing

[@prestonne2673]

Hello Carrie, I've never read your books or seen you in a show as yet but I always watch your KZbin videos they are always uplifting and make me smile. PooPoo to the haters there is just no way to dislike Carrie. 🙂

[@hannahdarcy9048]

I love love love these vlogs!!! ❤❤❤

[@NicoleFoti]

Love this day in the life!

[@monkeysinsombreros14]

I fell down the steps at minalima onto the marauders map floor and it will always be one of the funniest stories from my time in London 😂

[@colecerys123]

I saw the show on Saturday 31st and it was absolutely incredible, one of the best things i’ve ever seen!! I met you at stage door me and my friend Emma were the last people you met xx

[@creativereindeer]

This is such a joyful video! I've had a stressful few weeks and off on our 'official' honeymoon as it had to be delayed and this was so much fun after doing loads of fine editing a charity video - frame by frame watching to then just see a whole week of adventure. 1) so glad that thing wasn't a rat 2) we're here for the tin of pins. Thanks so much for working at the vlog-art-form-thing. This was GREAT.

[@jamielee65]

I loved Hank Greens book! It's brilliant.

[@andyouwereacrow]

Matt Haig is wonderful! I actually spent this morning reading Reasons to Stay Alive and Notes on a Nervous Planet is sitting on my desk waiting for a re-read

[@Ponypal1108]

I walked passed the theatre you work at earlier today. Love your channel 😍

[@Deancolby]

Negativity just shows that someone has to be unkind to make themselves feel better-it has nothing to do with the person who's being hated upon. They have to live with themselves with their own heart and soul. I live kindness and it's so satisfying ❤ Well done Carrie xo

[@lilianastanzione6598]

Love this Carrie ❤❤

[@simsamsammie]

Oh I can't wait for you to read AART, it's my second favorite book I've read this year! (Miseducation of Cameron Post being my favorite, truly a modern classic)

[@melaniewright5964]

I love these vlogs!!! I want to know if there are any other west end/Broadway stars who also vlog?

[@lucyknight7881]

You never fail to make me smile I love you ❤️💙💚💛

[@Waggers789]

Love the ending of this video.

[@mechanicadam2011]

Wooo another video 😃

[@xarnarappold9711]

I enjoyed the claps - felt connected to your outro! x

[@charliepope2016]

absolutely adored hank's an absolutely remarkable thing!! so fun, i really hope you enjoy :D if you're willing and able, i'd love to see more videos about books you love!!

[@AlyssasTheatreVlog]

After years upon years upon years of watching your backstage vlogs and adoring your every move, I've finally started up my own vlog! And bonus, I'm about to move to the UK (from Canada)! Woop woop!!

[@Ali_and_Macy]

Oooooh An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green is SUCH a good choice! We both read it last year when it first came out and it immediately climbed to the top of our list of favorite books! Hope you enjoy it too!

[@belles8095]

Needed this to cheer me up💓💓

[@sophiawitkowski1082]

Love all your video xx

[@miauaslano]

Ahhhh Wabis is my favourite!! I always get mochi from there when going through new street!

[@mixha1757]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who keeps their hair pins in old mint boxes, my musical theatre ones currently reside within an old tic tac box 😂💖

[@RachelRocksDisney]

that ending was the best!!!

[@josieanna6584]

Love this ✨💗

[@mustbeinwantofawife]

Would be interested in hearing your thoughts about How Do You Like Me Now? when you get round to reading it! Also watching you moving around London is making me really miss being there 😭

[@tomgallowitz]

Palace Theatre is also Les Mis’s original West End home before Queens/Sondheim

[@todaywithing694]

You have the best job in the world !!! 😍😍😍😍

[@beckemmen9702]

The content I wait for

[@k1tkat-kate]

An Absolutely Remarkable Thing was a very good read, hope you enjoy it!

[@EmilyAnnTalbotzie]

I probably won't get a message back but I'm a huge fan of yours and your vlogs somehow always make me smile even though my depression is really bad at this time xx

[@miriamschneider2432]

YAY

[@sweetl0litas]

I missed a good ol vlog!!
