[@NatalieWalcott]

Only children of the theatre get excited to get humidifiers as gifts... xD

[@kimichan5]

+lalaland19991 OMG so true! lol

[@alizzahGrace]

lalaland19991 I WANT A HUMIDIFIER SO BAD

[@redhood-ej5xe]

Im not a theater person and i want a humidifier.

[@ThatGirlCalledGrace]

Lara needs to be a daily blogger. She's fantastic

[@ev_green_]

theater people have the best speaking voices so melodic and pretty cause they are so in shade with their voices

[@CalTheTactician1993]

I volunteer with orchestra pits (clarinet), and every opening night, I make cupcakes for the pit. Nice to know there are Broadway sweethearts like Laura Osnes that have similar traditions as me :)

[@ari_mz]

cool. I also play the clarinet

[@maryannkoretoff1023]

I want to do this so badly. I WANT TO KNOW THE JOY OF OPENING A SHOW. I know it's going to take a lot of hard work and I have been working hard. I practice every day, learning the songs and dances. I've even put together a rep book just for practice XD Don't give up on your dreams y'all. I'm 13. Follow your dreams.. P. S HUMIDIFIERS ARE THE BEST GIFTSSSSS

[@evierichmond1425]

how are you doing now? :)

[@maryannkoretoff1023]

@@evierichmond1425 I just closed my first leading lady production. I played Sammy Lane in an original musical of the book "The Shepherd of the Hills". God has been so good and taught me so many amazing things. This is only the beginning!!

[@xaykocysthesecond]

I was smiling throughout the whole video. Laura has this sweetness that totally carries itself through camera. She seems like such a wholesome, down-to-earth person

[@alexbam2006]

She loves animals, she bakes these little cute cupcakes, she has a step mother, and she writes beautifully. Yep, I conclude, she's really a real-life Princess.

[@sona12331]

Cinderella should be brought back out to Broadway!!

[@greasedlightnin5918]

I agree I would watch it a thousand time and if they don't they should D bring back the original cast to do a week of special performance

[@hannahrosereviews5073]

Can I just keep Laura? She's just adorable!

[@JT-jd7sz]

Before Frozen I just heard Santino's voice but now all I can hear is Hans

[@dawncordobes2879]

I know right

[@kimichan5]

+Evolutionary Potato seriously! lolol

[@rocknroll20024]

I know right?

[@janaeburney6472]

Did you also know that Jonathan Groff, who used to play King George in Hamilton, played Kristoff?

[@springdayisnottoday371]

Evolutionary Potato yes lmao

[@live_for_the_music8292]

I'm obsessed with your outfit Laura!!!!!! Particularly your hat... I may be buying one of my own!

[@avajewel2769]

How ironic. Laura has a stepmother. XD

[@MegaMorphTronpages]

i LOVE HER OUTFIT AT THE START OF THE SHOW!

[@annabethelston8101]

[@woowoolip]

[@carliem9005]

[@miriluvs2s1ng]

[@juliacleary21]

Awww santino's dressing room is called topher's tavern!

[@mamaluvsherbabes]

Laura and every one is so down to earth...just normal, genuinely nice people! Love it! God bless them! :)

[@hannahtuck7144]

'We can't kill him' You heard her, Santino. You can't kill him. dONT BE A HANS sorry

[@ari_mz]

[@GabyGibson]

Goodness gracious, she's adorable!

[@dancemusicsinging]

I CRIED LIKE FOR REALLY. I LOVE THE MOVE. IM SO HAPPY THAT THEY FINAL MADE THIS INTO A MUSICAL. THEY NEED TO MAKE THIS A FULL TIME SHOW IF ITS NOT

[@Th3mast3r69]

Nice meeting you the other day!!! Your the perfect Cinderella. We will miss you!!!

[@VICKIKO22249]

Love you, Laura! You are always the same sweet girl (young woman) no matter who you play on Broadway! I hope someday to see you in New York! Missed you in Grease when you were on Vacation in Feb. Best Wishes on Cinderella. My Grandson, Jake, who is 12 is a Aurora, Illinois, Paramount Production of "Fiddler on the Roof," as one of the Jewish Boys. Can't wait to see him next week. He loves musicals. Thanks for being true to yourself and your faith, no matter who you play on Broadway.

[@greasedlightnin5918]

she was s my very favorite and my idol and hero

[@greasedlightnin5918]

she is my still my idol and every thing else your the best laura

[@ethalinia]

She is one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen...such a classic beauty, and although she doesn't resemble Grace Kelly, she has the same beauty (you know, the creamy skin, the refined cheekbones...) :)

[@lio7076]

Sometimes i just come back here when i had a bad day 😁

[@meredithashleyellis]

She is so beautiful on the inside and out!

[@lwclark96]

Laura is sooo sweet!! I am so happy for her.

[@iloveflute3133]

andy jones now plays prince topher on the cinderella tour :')

[@hpfan]

She and the entire cast were great. It's a really fantastic show. We caught the last of the previews before opening night, but I absolutely recommend the show! Laura, who I had the pleasure of meeting at the stage door, is the perfect Broadway princess. The cast could not be more talented or nicer, and the magic in the show - particularly the costume changes - is jaw dropping. Congrats to the cast and crew of such a magical show!

[@broadwaymike92]

RIP Herman The Fish

[@Katieclaireh]

Michael I. Haber I think it is sad that Herman died of heartbreak when the Cinderella show ended on broadway........ it was real sweet of Laura to get a goldfish for Santino as an opening night gift.........

[@eleanorharries1201]

she's honestly just a magical person.

[@OddsandEndsandOtters]

SHE'S PLAYING QUEEN IN HER DRESSING ROOM!

[@ashleyleake3598]

I thought that was awesome too, the perfect way to prepare for Cinderella ;)

[@71crm]

Laura's so modest, when Peter Bartlett calls her "a beautiful creature", she goes "I'm a dirty mess!"-I like that in a person!

[@evabower1951]

6:09 "We can't kill him." RIP Herman...

[@ajitter89]

Saw her as Cinderella, if she does not recieve a nomination in some form or the other, their is something truly wrong with this world. She was just so sweet and lovable, and you could tell she was having a blast.

[@Rinarenee0627]

Ahh I always loved this show and my school is doing it this fall!

[@kateoconnor30030]

This is my fifth time watching this vlog. I regret nothing

[@Maybethistime15]

her towel has disney princesses on it

[@ruthe.2292]

It’s Herman!!

[@grace5033]

HERMAN? Gregory James…

[@Damianarose]

And thus the herman legacy begins....

[@harajukukevin6657]

when I saw her opening night party dress, I totally cried.

[@misslizzie1204]

I think they use the wigs since they hold the styling best (the curls won't fall out), and then when you have to change hairdos in the show you can just yank one off and put the next one on instead of e.g. making an updo from scratch (quick changes, not so fun). Plus, its the same every night or when an understudy comes in

[@e50e1]

like i'm having physical trouble handling how adorable she is

[@andorthethis]

you should watch the "fly girl" series with lindsay mendez...it's another behind the scenes video except its for wicked. But the whole cast is super goofy and down to earth too and its funny to watch them haha.

[@ZoraTheberge]

Who else would like to see Sierra Bogess as Ella?

[@springdayisnottoday371]

Zach T Nah, she’s always going to be Ariel, with her red hair and all

[@ttryon_65478]

It's probably just me.... But I would love for Laura to be Christine!

[@ari_mz]

same. Although idk if she can sing opera

[@iam2sweet29]

This is such a good video!

[@Forgotten_Lore]

One thing I love about Laura (and only a certain few others come off this way) is that she seems SO down to earth and loveable and everything, she REALLY does seem to be the totally awesome girly friend you can just go hang out with and have fun with etc. As i said, there are a few like that but some of the stars do come off as snobbish or bitchy a little but she is one of the ones that just seem like an awesome girl who would be fun to hang out with.

[@corrinecrazycow]

SHE SOUNDS JUST LIKE ELLE WOODS IN LEGALLY BLONDE

[@pashleyrince]

Santino with a fully stocked bar. Huzzah!

[@mitchonbroadway]

why am i not on broadway, ugh this is not fair! :( love you laura!

[@springdayisnottoday371]

I didn’t know Laura was already married!

[@yfblackbird]

OMG she plays Cinderella, and has a stepmother in real life!

[@reidmason2551]

Is that the guy wolf-whistling over her evening dress off-camera at the end her husband? I can't imagine it being Mr. Fontana.

[@Footloose4ever]

Yeah, it's her husband, Nathan.

[@71crm]

Yeah!

[@GreatBroadwayFan]

Laura Osnes is the SWEETEST human alive!

[@strangehobbyist]

Thanks Laura, for reminding me of all those beta fish I had to take care of throughout my WalMart career... XDD

[@Laaura270]

OMG Laura you are my idol, my name is also Laura and I was Cinderella too, I love broadway and I hope be in there :3

[@1S1NGG8]

YES

[@RegencyBookworm17]

[@benjamincollins8559]

I remember Santino saying he won a gold fish at a fair, his mom got rid of it. Laura full filled Santino's prize.

[@WinonaWijaya]

i can't believe that the guy in the fish shop didn't freak out because he met Laura Osnes and he got 10-seconds of fame on broadway.com

[@miriluvs2s1ng]

Omg Zack-T I was thinking the same exact thing!!! Lol!

[@addybeals1317]

[@eponinethenardier9188]

[@ProfessorTheFox]

Cinderella is closing date is on January 03 2015

[@Pichipichiprincess]

No, the musical (1957) came after the movie (1950). Although this musical is obviously based on the 1957 R&H tv movie musical

[@sophiekelly-hedrick7399]
