As a more velumptuous lady myself, seeing you playing Veronica (and Wednesday for that matter) was unbelievably affirming. It's one of the few times I've seen someone shaped like myself in a musical, and they were both women who knew their own mind, got what they wanted and could sing the f'ing house down. Please remember that for every troll are 10 people feeling uplifted at seeing someone like themselves.

I had never been emotionally affected by hearing “I Dreamed A Dream” until I saw you as Fantine in the concert version and witnessed your portrayal of her. I had never cried at that song until I heard you sing it and something resonated so deeply within me that I found myself in floods of tears during that scene. So no matter what others might have said at stage door, I want to thank you for playing Fantine because I never truly connected with her story until I saw you play her. ❤

I thoroughly agree. I Dreamed a Dream is so iconic I think I had got a bit jaded by it, but seeing Carrie treat the song and story of Fantine in her own way completely changed the way I see that character. I've seen Carrie perform twice live in roles I'm familiar with (Fantine and Beth in War of the Worlds) and I can confidently say she brought a new perspective to each character that made me see them a little differently. Superb performances, both 👏

Ooooh I have so much to say! 1. My local theatre is doing The Addams Family Musical (in German) and I'm going to the premiere in two weeks. I am so excited to see it but also scared of the translation. 2. I was blessed to be able to see you in the full production of Les Mis as Fantine! In January 2020, on my birthday, I flew to London to see you and I bawled my eyes out. You were absolutely fantastic as was everyone else in that cast, I've never seen so much talent on one stage. 3. I may or may not have seen the slime tutorial of Heathers. I know you were not well when this was filmed and it was your last (?) performance so emotions were heightened, but even if this wasn't your best, you were still incredible. I cannot believe anyone could do that. 4. I'm glad you talk so openly about Cinderella. As an outsider, I admire how the cast and crew held together and even though the public knew very little about it while it was happening, everyone was very civil about it when it finally came to light. You were mistreated and I hope that this is a wake up call for the responsible party to change their way. I for one will no longer be supporting them. 5. This is an incredible set of roles to have successfully played. I am very much looking forward to everything that is to come. That's it. That's my rant.

It's so sad to hear that Cinderella was such a... train wreck... behind the scenes. I was so excited to come and see it, as it was an ALW show I thought it would be on for long enough that I'd get a chance! So, of course I was upset by its closing. But knowing what we know now, I'm glad it ended when it did for you all - even if it was a terrible way of going about it - since as you said, relief came with it. Has that experience dulled your view of ALW shows? Would you be in another ALW show if offered?? I have only SEEN you in Addams Family, which was so amazing. But there have been many shows that I wanted to watch, and saw west end lives of or snippits of through promo etc... I am glad to see that you had a lot of fun at the majority of your roles and they weren't all just turmoil / too much of a challenge. Thank you, also, for introducing me to Heathers because it is up there as one of my favourite shows now! :) (sad to see that end as well!)

What a fab video and such a real reflection on varied parts you played. Was at last night of cinderella and the whole cast smashed it you all rose above it and its been incredible watching what you have done since. Open book tour was immense and just back from seeing Crown Jewels today its brilliant laugh. Keep being who you are there is no stopping your talent. ❤❤❤

Ahh, challenging or not, you smashed the roles you’ve on taken so far and I can’t wait to see what you get up to next. Saw you in the Crown Jewels today and you looked like you were having a blast! Such a great show! ❤

This was wonderful to watch, as an Adams I will forever be gutted my ncs meant I couldn't see you in Southampton. But seeing you in the les mis concert will always be a special memory as its when I got to meet you ❤ But also heathers was my first trip with my best friend to see a theatre show on our own and we now go 2-3 times a year together! It started a wonderful tradition. I'm so sorry you had such negative comments on veronica you were incredible ❤

It was so exciting to see you in a very new genre. I really want the caucasian chalk circle official recording! The songs uploaded on youtube are brilliant and interesting.

Love this video! I ended up playing a game along with you and trying to see if I could guess which role was in which category! So much fun to listen to and watch 🥰 You have an amazing catalogue of work ❤️ I got to see you in Cinderella and then again in Caucasian Chalk Circle - they were both incredible but Chalk Circle was something else - and then we got to meet you after. Just an absolutely amazing play!

As someone who lives in Australia who doesn't get to see you in really any shows I'm just glad I got to see you at least once in a show even if Cinderella wasn't your favourite experience. At least you have the friends from that time that's a positive. Can't wait to see what's ahead in the future for you Carrie 💜💜💜

Love this video! It's always nice to hear about the shows from an actor's point of view, because we just get to see the finished product and so it's nice to hear about what went into making those shows so great. :) Also it was fun to look back at where I was in my life when you were playing each of those roles , because I've been around since 2012. Awesome video.

I’ve never seen you perform so I really appreciate this list. I’m from America and now I think I have a few new dream roles. Hopefully I’m not too old now to play some of them. Congratulations on your pregnancy Carrie! ❤

Despite the troubles with cinderella i think you did a beautiful job. All of you. And i love the show and the music. Thats whats remembered now. And the broadway is being compared to your performance anyway as theatre does and, you lot as a cast will always shine through to us ❤ and how you guys handled it is a testament to that xxx

As a musical theater nerd that has been following since before your Eponine days this was such a fun video to catch up with! I’m heartbroken to hear that so many people were so nasty regarding your performance as Veronica - I personally LOVE your recording of Dead Girl Walking!! I’m planning a trip to London this November would love to see you on stage. Will you still be in the same show then?
