An Introverted Actress ♥ Dear Tom&Gi

[@simsamsammie]

I feel like sometime during Addams you really came into your own and stepped into the grown ass woman you were becoming and this whole album production and promotion cycle is you showing off the confidence you’ve accumulated and I’m LIVING FOR IT.

[@Carrie]

I totally agree! Somewhere in amongst playing Wednesday, getting the chance to play a different, vibrant kickass part in which I got to flex and hone lots of skills within MT I'd never had the chance to before, meeting Oliver, my friendship with Scott skyrocketing to dizzying heights and learning that it's okay to take time for myself every now and then, I feel like something clicked in my brain and I suddenly embraced exactly who I am. And I LOVE that even just one person has noticed that. Thank you!

[@imaginationlord]

I like the new background, the bed reminds me of the old hopeful days

[@ellie-rosehilton5912]

I love how the award has 'WA' on it for 'whats on stage awards', but you also won the award for Wednesday Addams... the award literally has the initials of the character you won it for on it purely coincidentally!! amazing! xxx

[@Carrie]

Ellie-Rose Hilton How the hell did I not realise that?!?!

[@littletalks3019]

Your What’sOn award has the initials of WA, Wednesday Addams. If that doesn’t show it was meant to be then I’m not sure what other signs there could have been! Congrats! 😊

[@hannahelizabeth5015]

I have literally never seen anyone so thoughtful and so considerate on social media as to record their blog posts so that they are more inclusive - this is wonderful :) love your videos x

[@GothGeekAnimeFreak]

As someone with dyslexia, I just wanted to say thank you for the audio option for the blog post :) that's very considerate of you xxx

[@Theearnestimp]

I think that might be one of the most thoughtful things a KZbinr has done for their audience. I’m superhuman dyslexic, I wish I could read blogs but I just can’t concentrate that hard for that long on a screen. Thank You

[@rubygrace3971]

Happy international women’s day! 💕

[@Mariaovchorley]

Amazing to hear about you putting an audio version of your blog out! I really appreciate what you are doing as someone that deals with dyslexia this makes this so much easier and enjoyable to take in! Once again much appreciated

[@Ali_and_Macy]

Being visually impaired ourselves, we think it's WONDERFUL that you are taking those types - and other types - of disabilities into consideration with your blog! We don't see that very often (no pun intended) and we think it's such a good idea! Thank you, Carrie, and happy International Women's Day!!

[@thequeenofbooks24]

Ali & Macy oh my goodness another visually impaired person/people *cries* 😭💕💕💕💕

[@Ali_and_Macy]

Yaaaaaaas!! Somebody get's it!!!

[@thequeenofbooks24]

Ali & Macy at last!!! 🙌😍

[@journalsbysophie]

I am so beyond proud of you! You have no idea! And the glasses you posted today! Are so Wicked Green Elphaba!!! 💜💜 You'll get that role any time soon I am sure!

[@pugssss3469]

I totally understood what you were saying the first time you talked about the stage door situation. Do what you feel comfortable with. It’s lovely to see people that support you but that also means supporting the things that make you more at ease.

[@kirstyrand1]

Thank you so much for doing audio versions as someone who cant read well due to my learning disabilities it really means alot when people consider how diffiuclut it is. sorry if this made no sence

[@HerroAllison]

The blog was wonderful. It's startling how people can forget you're human.

[@francoherrera5237]

I love that you are including an audio for your blog. I love listening to podcasts and audio books since I drive quite a bit for work. Thanks for being fab!

[@joenosenothing7602]

When I saw the Addams Family in Dublin (which was amazing, congrats on the award!ĺ) I went to stage door afterwards, yes I hoped to see you but I NEVER expected to see you and meet you or thought I was entitle or owed to meet you. I understood that's not your job, your job was to perform in the show which you did amazingly. It's so frustrating that you keep having to repeat this point because people just aren't listening!

[@julesmcnally7249]

Oh my gosh! I have dyslexia and I struggle to read for long periods of time and I am so (what’s the best word) thrilled that you you thought to do an audio reading of your blog. Now I have no reason not to “read” it. Ps still anxiously waiting for the audiobook of All that she can see... I know it’ll be worth waiting for it to be done by you and completely understandable that you haven’t found the time.

[@katys3022]

Thank you so much for thinking of us who struggle with reading. I hate missing out on you're awesome words because of a disability I didn't choose to habe. Once again you have shielded just how amazing, caring and inspiring you are. Love you. K

[@Rwededyet]

@6:00 Plus, you have a lovely voice that people enjoy hearing regardless of their interest in whatever topic you are discussing. Seriously, "Carrie Reads A Phone Book" would be a hit.

[@BlueGlow26]

Love that you’re doing a recording of your blog! Making it more accessible in multiple ways 😊

[@TheKarishy8]

do a house tour now your house is done more since your last one! I love your room Carrie, always look forward to your videos too!

[@meganmorris1061]

I just want to say that I love you so much and u brought me back into theatre when I was feeling down about myself so I just want to thank you for being so positive and for always making me happy with your videos! X

[@RannonsmrY]

I LOVE that you're reading your blog posts like that! That's such an incredible thing to do

[@rachaelegan9290]

Hearing your going do audio versions of your blog has literally melted my heart! Finally!!!

[@emilyhughes1628]

Huge congratulations Carrie! You truly deserved to win and it was an honor to vote for you! Also, I love your t-shirt, very cute :-)

[@annabellarowe741]

Thank you for reading and recording your blog! It's a lovely idea for people who enjoy it, but its also really great for accessibility and people who are vision impaired as well as people who have difficulty reading! You're great :)

[@TwinkTwinkle]

You are the best for reading your blogs for people who have trouble with or dislike reading!

[@lessthanthreeDCriss]

That's such a great idea to record audio for your blog posts! Love how thoughtful you are, you're really making the world a better place

[@kathycooke2501]

Congrats on the award!! You're an awesome actress so proud of you. 👏💗 And those points about stage door make perfect sense

[@sianturner93]

oh thank you so much for recording your blogs I have never read them even though I wanted to just because it hurts and makes me feel awful that i cannot enjoy words the world that writers can create is so beautiful and clear when i hear it but is just a jumble with i read and so many people don't fully understand the struggle​ of people who find reading challenging you are a beautiful creature (it has taken me 15 minutes to write this comment so far ... )

[@CiTrUsPoP20]

I think it is great that you are so honest about this. I think for a lot of us who are on the “fan” and “follower” side we don’t recognize the overwhelming nature of our adoration. It’s like a reverse funnel, we only see our little contributions to the massive out pouring on the other side. Social media is a fascinating phenomenon and I hope you continue to educate about and explore this, it may help some people realize how to interact in a healthy way with you and others in similar positions.

[@hannahlipka5266]

your t-shirt is so cute, love the stripes!

[@eleanorshellard2961]

Thank you for making the audio version of the blog it was really helpfull :)

[@theatrelover9920]

Loving the new background! Also just wanted to let you know I started All That She Can See this week and I immediately loved it, it's so, so good and so unique and fresh, the plot and characters are amazing but the writing is just beautiful and flows so well, you've come on leaps and bounds since On The Other Side (Not that that wasn't a great book too, it absolutely was, and you were a fantastic writer then too, you've just improved so much!) I'm so looking forward to When The Curtain Falls, absolutely love your books, you've quickly become a favorite author of mine!

[@LucySnewin]

I love those theatre seating pictures! They are so cute!

[@allie1914]

I read your blog post today and as a huge theatre fan I used to go to stage door a fair bit. I am now the same age as you and the appeal of stage door has somewhat waned. When I was younger stage door was never crazy busy, just a few people appreciating the actors whereas now they are generally similar to a crowd at a concert and I can't imagine how overwhelming it must be for performers. I think as well I am less enamoured by the idea of celebrities as they really are just regular people, unless someone has truly achieved something amazing or are particularly talented meeting them no longer appeals. I hope that one day soon the rude and scary people at stage door start respecting people more to make it more enjoyable for you and the other people who visit stage door.

[@charmorris6161]

congratulations on the award Carrie! definitely so deserving of it🖤

[@PatriotToby]

Been waiting for this! Miss your daily videos :) I loved that you did this video in your room... maybe you could do an updated tour of your lovely flat? PS “carried away” 😂 I couldn’t help myself!

[@xAbbieCx13]

So excited for the album and I can't wait to see you at the end of the month, its going to be wonderful!

[@kathryng9296]

Wowow I'm late to the game but you're just such a wonderful soul Carrie! xx

[@ianmilleruk]

You should see what the stage door is like at Hamilton, Carrie. Pop by the Victoria palace around 10:30 any evening and you’ll see the hugest line of people going down Victoria street. It’s extreme and bizarre. I’d imagine / hope they’ve bought in barriers and security by now to help the cast.

[@TheSoundOfDistantThunder]

Hi Carrie :) Just a quick post to say that it is wonderful that you are condidering accessibility with your books and blogs and that you are also being inclusive as these things are available to both fans with and without impairments. Yet another reason to love and respect you. :) With love, as always, Rose

[@maitlynvastag6923]

So what exactly is a “celebrity” or a “fan” we’re all people. I completely agree with you. No one is above anyone else. 💙💛

[@veronikamales3459]

I love you for always being so open about yourself and your work ❤️

[@indigowhisper]

That is a really lovely idea to do a vlog version of your blog. I'm happy to read the blog myself, but I just think it's a lovely thought. Nice one :)

[@theresamonsterundermybed9029]

The audio blog thing is such a good an thoughtful idea!

[@actress5256]

Carrie your hair has gotten so long! You look beautiful

[@gracielamia94]

Can’t believe you’re still having to defend this stage door stuff. How are people still not getting it?! Keep doing you Carrie! X

[@katefewings4304]

Congratulations on the award Carrie you deserve it !!! 💜💜

[@gemz2155]

I’d love to see an interview/video/blog post on ‘other’ jobs in the theatre world such as stage management... and how you can achieve this/what it requires!!

[@gibbayyyyy]

Your "today I look like this" is such a beautiful picture Carrie! Sorry that people treat you weirdly, that makes me sad. If somebody came and sniffed my hair I'd be pissed too!

[@minihobbitess]

Loved this video. Love the idea of the audio blog. While I have no issue reading I do work 12 and a half hour shifts (just finished one ) and I can't concentrate on words but would be able to listen to you 😊 oh and I have the same deffuser. It's stunning!!!

[@leahdowney2465]

Been watching since forever Carrie ur videos inspire me so much and I will always be a hopeful. Thankyou for all of your videos love u lots Carrie xx

[@opheliahawkeswood]

I’m so excited for your album Carrie and congratulations on your award I voted for you you were an amazing Wednesday 😄

[@lisafehst]

Love love love the idea of reading out your blog posts! ❤️ Such a lovely attempt at making it available for everybody 🤗🙇‍♀️ u go girl!

[@annabelyates5219]

We're back under the bed!

[@marjoleinvanvulpen2482]

Love the idea of "audio blogs" 😍

[@moonshoespotter6142]

Love the new background!!

[@leeleedivinelight]

I went to see you in the Adams family it was the best thing I'd ever seen !

[@maxluvsgeese]

Congratulations, Carrie!!! You definitely deserve that trophy, regardless of whether or not you dropped it on the train! 😂👌❤️

[@ShaunaLynn]

Congratulations on your award! 👏🏻 xx

[@BooksMichelle]

Just letting you know that if you ever do a European concert tour I would TOTALLY come and see you!

[@LydiaCarlton97]

I like seeing different different rooms of Fletcher Flat.

[@MindaTori]

It’s a nice new spot to see you film from 😍

[@sinead6712]

I like the new background it's a change 😁

[@andiekahl3143]

I love your tshirt!

[@jessaysmile]

My dyslexia makes it so hard for me to read that I actually caused myself to need glasses because I read so much as a tw/teen. Didn’t know I had any form of dyslexia until I was 20 and now all my university papers are on blue/cream paper. Audio recordings of your blog posts is an amazing idea. Human brownie points

[@mollyrabung]

You should look up para social relationships. I love hearing your side (celebrity side) of them because everyone knows what the other side feels like but not everyone knows about the other side. There is a really good ted talk on para social relationships.

[@oliviaskipsey4138]

I love your shirt!!!

[@jesscowhig1087]

💛💛 glad to find another introvert

[@glennewton7034]

when ever i watch one of your videos it always makes me wanna make videos

[@darciaglaucerica]

Glen Coco Go for it! ❤️👏🏼

[@aakanshathinks]

It’s back !!!

[@deniseng76]

❤️ love the posters

[@lilyglezz3530]

Wait! You're doing the "today I look like this" again. I've missed it!

[@CasandraKrammerDesign]

I am waiting for the audioversion to come out!

[@JadeHasProblems]

I hope to act or work with you one day! You’re brilliant with an amazing personality

[@harrietjones2435]

We love this set up!!! #ZeatArt

[@Juulx1]

Carrie you're great I love you so much but if I had a penny everytime you talk about stage door I'd be able to afford going to every musical I want! LOL XD

[@Hippolyta.]

love the shirt

[@henrikssonlina]

I love your shirt!! 😍

[@AnnaLilleyify]

I can always do your books for you! I'm a book keeper/ management accounts.😊

[@ellyharries8199]

Dressing up as Wednesday Addams for a belated World Book Day at my school tomorrow. 🖤🖤

[@girlonabookshelf4922]

I would say Wednesday isn't from a book, but then again, she originally appeared in a comic BOOK so...

[@ellyharries8199]

Meghan Robertshaw she is actually from a newspaper. World Book Day is about all forms of literature. Plus I have a gorgeous Wednesday Addams type dress that I haven’t worn yet and I’m dying to!! 😂😂

[@floralspectre]

Congrats on the award (I thought you were amazing as Wednesday)!! and congrats on going to become an aunty for another Fletcher baby 😋

[@Caifranciss]

Well done carrie I saw the addams family musical and voted plus you mde my day by stopping to talk to me thanks

[@Creating.in.hibernation]

I love that your award has WA on it and you got it for Wednesday Addams!!

[@girlonabookshelf4922]

I'm not even a stage actor but I get SO NERVOUS at Stage Door! It can get very crowed and loud and people shove and push you! I went to see Les Mis 3 years ago and I kid you not someone was pushing their way through the crowd and shoved me into Rob Houchen (who was lovely and didn't mind that I almost fell on him! 😂) so yeah, I completely understand your anxieties Carrie! Also congrats to you and the Addams Family for winning! 💜💜💜💜

[@robertrichardson1011]

I prefer this set up ;) more colourful

[@specialfaiths]

Audio blogging is a fantastic idea! Any chance you would consider releasing them on platforms where one would normally get podcasts?

[@Goldkehlchen20]

If you haven't done so already, you might want to check out the term 'parasocial relationships'. There is actually a pretty good video by the channel StucciMovies on the subject. Very, VERY interesting, especially in the age of KZbin.

[@TillieMurray]

Awesome video💞

[@Deancolby]

new to vlog will eventually go earliest but what does "Dear Tom&Gi " mean? prob something I should know-so forgive-:)-bedroom works for me if your happy with it-:) Going over to your blog now sounds like a great topic. I will say as to having been bothcoming from stage door and waiting for someone at stage door. I met Topol when I was very young-and he showed me the fiddler stage-and made such an amazing experience. Then seeing how a musical or play can make an impression on an audience and makes them happy to meet you-is such a nice experience of the theatre. I feel bad for those audiences who are just weird and have no concept of personal space-it ruins others experiences. Well done Carrie!

[@sarahc5904]

Dean Colby tom is her brother,gi is her sister in law(their all authors and bascially really creative) ,they do videos to eachother because they dont get much time together as toms in mcfly and has children snd carrie is touring alot so this is like them chatting to eachother. Xx

[@Deancolby]

Thank uuuuuuuuuu!

[@sarahc5904]

Dean Colby you're very welcome xx

[@whereismybookmark]

THIS ❤️

[@cochlearkid]

I like the idea of audio blogs, how about making a section specially for deaf people (like myself) who don't have English as first language but BSL (British Sign Language)?

[@MrColeSTW]

Great video, where did you get your diffuser? X

[@dimduk]

I am an old man in Minnesota and I will tell people about something cool you did and I just get back blank stares. So if you ever get tired of the spotlight just move to Minnesota, but bring a coat, the cold is for real here. :)

[@arielmarie8493]

Congrats💜💙💙💛

[@Kama1506]

Great video Carrie! Love your top? Do you know where it’s from please xxx 💜

[@adtoz]

haha You said "Like doing my taxes" as I was opening up my own taxes lol I'm with you they suck!

[@CuriosityRocks]

Are you attending this year’s Olivier awards?
