“I don’t think I played the Veronica everyone expected.” Your the Veronica we all needed, you are incredible! 🤍

[@yee-raplantar-maximoff4318]

I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with Carrie (or Heathers in general) this much but here I am, and I totally agree that we needed her as I Say No was the first little push that got me into Heathers

[@clarev5099]

Imagine having tonsilitis, being completely on the verge of tears and STILL sounding that amazing!

[@cuzwhynot253]

She sounds better sick then i do not sick

[@orbiter277]

During the “Blame your childhood, blame your dad”, that little choke, to me, makes the song feel a lot more authentic

[@agreenpar]

It's so comforting to hear you talk about how emotional I Say No makes you. The part of that song that ALWAYS ALWAYS gets me without a doubt is the "BUT I LOVE YOU" and Veronica just goes "...dude." As somebody who was in an emotionally manipulative relationship for 4 years, and who listened to I Say No for the first time while still in that relationship and felt absolutely trapped, like, people who have been in similar situations know that the minute they say "but I love you" is the moment that you crumble, you give in, and you stay. The first time I heard Veronica just go "...dude" is the moment that I realized that if she can do it, so can I, and because of that, I was able to get out of that horrible relationship. I'm so glad that song exists.

Honestly, I once saw Idina Menzel perform when she was sick and you would 100% hold your own in a sick sing-off with Idina. Just saying. I can’t believe how great you sound in the video.

[@gracieliz95]

For the record, Idina Menzel is also a complete beast and managed to sing Take Me or Leave Me, Defying Gravity, and Let it Go while sick, so this wasn’t meant to be a knock on her, I just legitimately think you’re THAT good.

[@sarahpealing6463]

I was in the audience on the premiere of I say no at the other palace, you were insane! Kevin asked me if I knew the show well as I was conveniently dressed in full Veronica costume and then told me to watch out for act two! I can confirm I was the girl hyperventilating with excitement of the fourth row 😂

Angelika Joy I haven’t at all. Some people were negative about here getting the part and she was worried what people thought of her. I’m saying she did well and she doesn’t have to worry about them. I haven’t said anything about anyone else, other actresses have done great as well. Don’t make that assumption of what I’m saying, because that’s not what I’m saying at all!

My favourite thing about Carrie's Veronica is that she seems more determined and in control to the point that it's actually hard to believe she "wanted someone strong who could protect" her (to quote Dead Girl Walking Reprise), and I think "I Say No" is a great way to reinforce that aspect of the character's personality. Plus, the song is an absolute bop haha

I saw the evening performance on the day I Say No went into the show - you killed it! I also threw my scrunchie a little too hard during the bows and it landed on you, so I’m sorry for that 😂

[@claddagh1826]

so i discovered heathers last week (my gateway drug was i say no . . . . the way it builds during the chorus is just goosebump inducing), and i am sad that i am so late to the party, because i have all these questions and thoughts and comments and no one to share them with! my one of two main questions is why the show closed so soon when all the interviews i have been able to find talk about how unbelievably popular it was. if a broadway show is popular, it is just extended. is that not how it works in the west end? do shows stick hard to their original run dates? and i do not understand how carrie was able to keep it together when interacting with jamie. (i am kind of being facetious but not really.) i have fallen so damn in love with the guy in one week, and i just cannot imagine someone playing opposite him being able to keep it together when they have such intimate scenes.

[@alexrossdaniels4227]

Carrie has seen this bootleg, which means Carrie has heard me "AWH" when she kisses JD after Dead Girl Walking and the whole fucking theatre laughs. So she's experienced me being a fucking moron TWICE. I am so sorry (but also not because I got a whole theatre to laugh at me)

[@ishauni_x]

You were a perfect Veronica and the WestEnd cast made Heathers one of my favourite musicals ever ❤️

[@AmeliaBell28]

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate you "speaking out" (if that's the right phrase) about how exhausting that show/role was and how helpful it would've been to have an alternate. And I especially respect and I appreciate your mentioning the pressure from the people higher up for you to do every show unless it was absolutely impossible. Anyone who knows any of the "lore" about Heathers the Musical should know and understand how challenging of a role Veronica is and how much of a toll it can take on any actor. In general I feel like there's not enough respect for challenging roles in theatre ("It's just playing pretend") and while obviously it's not working in a coal mine, it's still very intense and involved work and certain parts can be really exhausting. I hope it can become a more common practice in theatre to have alternates for really taxing roles, and I hope that can happen for some of the women's roles out there as well. Obviously I know Hamilton started out having an alternate since Lin Manuel was very busy both working on the show itself and with being a new father, but I'm so glad that happened because it helped make alternates more "mainstream." Even with an alternate for part of the Broadway run, Ben Platt was practically run into the ground playing Evan Hansen and it took a lot of time for him to recover. Obviously shows like Dear Evan Hansen and Hamilton and Les Mis have much bigger budgets than Heathers did, but I really hope going forward the team will make an effort to have a Veronica alternate (especially for the tour!) so that no other actresses have to wear themselves out in the role. So- thank you for talking about this and not just brushing it off. Not overworking yourself is such an important thing that especially gets brushed off in this industry and I hope that as more people speak up about it, changes will be made.

[@bludelight]

That timing was something I loved sooooo much. It didn't smack me back into reality with an "oh yeah, singing" feeling that I sometimes get with musicals. It was so seamless. Just beautiful.

[@PetitChouPumpkin]

I like how your voice sort of breaks because you’re near tears. It definitely adds to the acting.

[@Lydibbetson]

I remember sitting in the audience when the song started and I raved about it to all my friends because it’s the song we never knew we needed. Also the lighting on JD that made him look like he was in black and white was genius. Truly was Veronica getting rid of her demons and I think a lot of people can relate. You smashed it

Ahahha, incase people don't have social media, there was a slight problem with overlapping clips ❤️

[@AndreaMGC]

Even though I've never been able to see one in person, I'm obsessed with musicals. I'll listen to the soundtracks and imagine my own version of it in my head. I prefer musical numbers to pretty much any other kind of music. So when Carrie started Heathers I immediately listened to the whole soundtrack and fell completely in love with it. I even showed it to my brother and he loved it too. When I Say No came out, my bro and I listened to it together and it became my favourite song in the soundtrack (Dead Girl Walking is a close contender though). Anyway, Carrie puts so much fire and emotion into the song that I can't help but cry every time I listen to it. It's so powerful. And when i'm having a bad day, I blast it on high and sing at the top of my lungs. It never fails to cheer me up.

1st - I would love to sound like this with tonsillitis XD (Only had it twice in my life, but always f**ked up my voice) 2nd - I hope now that we know what a viral infection can mean, the "higher ups" and fans are more understanding if an actor is off for a week to recover. After all, we're not machines. But allowing yourself to recover is the hardest I find - the pressure actors give themselves is probably the hardest.

[@RhoadesLessTraveled]

I seriously can't explain how much I fell in love with Heathers after I found it through you. Your version of Veronica had feeling so fierce and like I could conquer anything. I made a version of your blazer and it just makes me so happy. Thank you for sharing your version of this performance because I've watched this and it gives a fresh look at what you went through. Really sweet of Jamie to give a bit of encouragement during such a tough moment. I almost cried watching this because of how much meaning I Say No has for so many young men and women (myself included). Sending lots of love to you, Oli, and Edgar. 🌻💛

In response to all of the comments about your version of Veronica, I saw the show for my birthday, June 14th during previews at The Other Palace, and ended up sharing a bench in the lobby with Laurence's parents. They told me that they'd seen every version of the show up till that point and that they thought you were the best Veronica. It's incredibly difficult to make a role your own when the fans are expecting something else but you did an amazing job.

Two days after I went I heard it was put in, so I went back to try and get another ticket, and somehow there was ONE ticket left at box office at the best seat in the house tbh, right in the middle at eye-height with everyone on stage.

And even when you give not so nice information, e.g. about the management of the musicals vs. the health of the actors, you are able to give it with so much care and no accusions or bitterness, that the viewer can really understand all the sides.

[@whatdoyousuppose]

When you mentioned being super sick during this (btw I couldn't even tell bc you sounded great!) I wonder if, going forward, things are going to change with expectations, from both upper management & audiences, of performers going on despite being ill (or injured!). I really hope so, because the amount of stories I've heard of people going on when they probably shouldn't have is astounding! (myself included! it's very hard to be immune to the "show must go on" mentality lol). It's simply not healthy for anyone, not the performer nor the cast/crew. And given the current situation, that's not something one could even imagine happening if theatre were to go on as normal. IDK if you listen to the Daily podcast from the New York Times but in a recent episode they highlighted the one Actor's Equity sanctioned production going on right now in the US and it's Godspell over at Theatre in the Berkshires. there are very very strict rules with health and safety and the cast/crew are contained in quarantine bubbles. Super fascinating listen, makes you wonder if that's how things have to go in our industry moving forward.

[@luxy8703]

I’ve never believed in watching bootlegs on principle and in fact have only very recently discovered slime tutorials. As a result of being bed bound since before covid though , I am now trying to watch a few now as a way of finally seeing some productions I love and wouldn’t get to see any other way and not just loving and appreciating musicals but it’s the best way of helping my mental health too as a result of being stuck inside for so long and not having any interaction with the world. I love Carrie for listening to her growth, and her chatting about all things musicals, and her love of books too and she along with my daughter has inspired me to want to set up some kind of book club to when I move if I can. People were talking about what they felt like being like during lockdown for five minutes. Yet suddenly the world opened up online after saying for years it was too difficult to do things. Gradually things are going back to normal apart from things people have forgotten to take down. It was lovely for that short time to have things accessible for us for once as music and shows especially just make you feel so happy and positive, no matter what is happening in your life. I so miss live shows but hopefully when we move and finally get some care, I can potentially look at being able to get out of bed again and eventually get to see a show again before too long. That is my dream anyway. Love to all ❤

I remember going to the second to last show of heathers at Haymarket, and it was just magical; if you would have told me that you were ill while performing I would have laughed at it, because it was nowhere to be seen or heard. even though bootlegs are iffy I absolutely love that one, because it has the exact same energy that the show I went to had; I can still remember Lauren and some other members of the ensemble standing at the side of the stage singing along to dead girl walking reprise, or Jamie dancing in a corner of the stage at a point where JD wasn't present. thinking of the show still makes me cry of happiness, which says a lot considering how 2018 was the worst year of my life.

[@feitocomfruta]

I just discovered this song earlier today. Two hours later I had it memorized, then bought the sheet music. I think what is so good about it is that it’s Veronica taking agency back after kinda losing it to the Heathers and JD. It’s her saying “I know I’ve done some fecking shitty things, this isn’t who I am. So instead of letting it continue or wallowing in self pity, I’m gonna do the right thing. Y’all are gonna make my life suck, but I’ll be better for it.” The other reason I fell in love with it is because it’s a distinctly 80’s sound as well. I hear hints of Heart, Roxette, Pat Benatar, and other 80’s “rock chicks”. It’s honestly some of my favorite musicians, and your delivery is up there with them.

I’m so happy this video came out Carrie! Sending you love ❤️

[@paigekknapp]

It wasn’t until I heard I say no and listened to your cast recording that Heather’s became one of my favorite shows ever. You were the core reason for that and you are PHENOM!! Would have never guessed you were sick!

[@francesmmarsh]

I love that you weren't playing the veronica people "expected", I think that's whats amazing about theatre - every actor brings something different and I loved your take on it!

[@abiengland2883]

Man this song. Used to play the cast recording on repeat when I decided to leave a situation where I wasn't happy or healthy. Ultimate 'you know what, f*ck this' anthem.

more reactions to heathers peweeeese-SO GLAD I SAW THIS BL-just to get a chance to see the show after watching heathers vlogs. Well done Carrie!!!

[@suzanvisser11]

So I agree with every single comment under this video about how great you are, Carrie. But Jamie in this snippet gives me absolute chills as well. His posture alone is making me feel all sorts of things about his character. I know what the character of J.D. is supposed to be like, and this is bloody amazing. And he has barely any lines in this snippet!

I really need this song just now. Thank you

[@naomivlasblom8013]

I was introduced to Heathers the musical through you and I have absolutely fallen in love with it the more I watched your vlogs and listened to the album.

[@naomilorenzo4488]

i LOVE the unique choices that you made!! as an actor u gotta bring your own interpretation to the role thats what makes it so cool!!!! 😍🤩😍🤩😍

[@caitlin_leanne]

the second to last i say no was SOOO powerful and amazing you ROCKED it Carrie

[@nathancreek6086]

I saw one of the shows towards the end where you had just started to get really bad and honestly if I didn't watch your vlogs I would not have been able to tell anything was up because the voice cracks work as part of the emotion of the song

[@itsmekatiep]

Watching this and for some reason sobbing. Haha my six year old just came up to me grabbed my face, wiped my tears and said, "you need to stop watching that show mama."

[@ZebrinhahDesrosiers]

I watch this final show of heathers as I watch my friends on graduation day. Don't know why but it just feels the same. The show looked like a wild ride start to finish and Carrie had to juggle so many responsibilities, hardships and expectations. Idk why but I just feel really proud watching this hahaha

[@owentaylor9053]

Who came back after the Audio was fixed lol

[@jt34915]

I would so pay to watch a recording of this show with Carrie in it

[@skips9761]
