my favorite meme is “this is so sad, alexa play despacito”

I was in Annie in February, and it was awesomeeee, and I saw the girl who played Cecile at the fair UwU. I know it's not a question from the video tho

Katherine Steele Favorite costume: My hat as a turning woman in Les Mis! Hands Down! It's just beautiful ☺️

[@saschahoupt6177]

“I have made out with a lot of tenors” That may be the most musical theatre sentence I’ve ever heard.

I had a pretty stressful day, but seeing this made everything so much better. I haven't sat down all day until a few hours ago, and seeing this made me so happy! Thank you for making my day, Katherine. :)

[@char9240]

i’m probably going to broadwaycon next year, i hope you get to go too!!!

[@bowtiemouse]

I think I have two favorite costumes. I loved my costume for "Fiddler on the Roof", because just putting on the skirt immediately got me into character. There was just something about it that made finding my character easier. My second favorite was a dress I wore for the first song of "My Favorite Year." I had never worn anything that sparkly or sleeveless before and I felt pretty damn gorgeous in it. Also, the fact that when I tried it on for our first costume fitting, all the girls in my dressing room went "GUUUURRRRL YOU LOOK GOOD IN THAT" so that was a nice confidence boost. :3

[@rebeccamethod8193]

Your videos make me so happy. They're just honest musical theater geeking out, and I love it. Thank you for spreading the sunshine!

[@jaelynn6087]

i love hearing you talk about love’s labour’s lost!!! i wouldn’t be made if you made a coUple behind the scenes videos or just more story times! also oMl when i saw this thumbnail i thought: “kath looks so good as a blonde?!? literally a sun-kissed goddess.”

[@free_siobhan]

That bit about the line that you guys memed reminded me about when I was in a production of Groovy. During one of the songs, one of the characters says “I don’t smell that!” And none of the cast ever got over it. We just said it whenever we had an opportunity.

Hey, I'm obviously not Kat, but definitely try to get some voice lessons! Belting is great to be able to do if you learn how to do it safely without hurting your voice. Break a leg!

I know this comment is from 4 years ago but just wanted to pop in and say that I hope your senior year went well. Happy singing if that's something you're still interested in doing! :)

[@meggypeggy9142]

You are so right with the theatre memes. Honestly sometimes they make no sense but they are literally the funniest things in the world. I was in legally blonde a few summers ago and we made all the boys in the cast do the bend and snap and one of them was like surprisingly really good and it was such a meme. Also we drew calling an in many different ways. Ex. Christmas Callahan, Easter Callahan. America callihan. There was a whole callihan thing and it kills me to this day

I have naturally blonde hair but my inner soul is a brunette and when I dyed my hair brown it just felt soooo much better! :)))

[@juliaflores257]

Talking about show memes, it reminds me of one in the show that I’m in. I’m in Newsies, and one of Jack’s lines in the middle of the fight scene after Seize the Day is “Cheese it, fellas. It’s the bulls.” Honestly it’s one of the dumbest lines in the whole show, but it’s hilarious. So now every once in a while someone will say, “Bulls it, cheese it. It’s the fellas.”

You're the funniest person ever, Kath! I'll never tire of your Q&As xD Also, I just want to say something about the hair question. You look amazing as a blonde, and I totally think it suits your bubbly and fun personality. But I just want to say that you totally *did* rock the brunette before as well. In the first of your videos that I watched you were still a brunette, and I distinctly remember thinking "omg, the dark hair makes her light skin seriously glow". No kidding. Anyway, just wanted to tell you that you're most definitely beautiful now, but you were beautiful before too =)

Hi Katherine! I need help figuring out my future...I want to go into musical theatre as a profession but i don't know how to get into it all. Right now, I'm only doing shows at my highschool

[@thelifeofelle1389]

That experience will make people more willing to cast you in college shows; you can also look for a community theatre to get more experience, which can lead to more connections. Those two things can really help you out. Oh one more thing!! Try backstage.com if you want to find more professional stuff.

[@griffin1837]

Try community theatre or summer camps! Do as much theatre as you can !!

[@annika6815]

Seize any opportunity for roles, obviously make sure that you'll have the time and its manageable in your schedule. But just look for community theater productions and maybe some professional ones? Ik I like to audition for my cities (professional) theater, even if you dont get cast, your name is now in the minds of professional directors and such, so that helps, getting your name passed through the grapevine.

[@ryleecamp1647]
