My Time In Chitty ✨ Show-verview

[@MeganLensink]

looove these! i remember watching your vlogs of these shows as they were happening, but it's so fun to hear about audition processes and unheard show stories in the mix too! ❤️

[@Carrie]

Ahhh thank you! ❤️

[@lauren-maryoutram9599]

Yes! I agree... 🥰 It's surreal remembering back to when Carrie was sat on her bed at her parents, part of Les Mis... An now after all this time (I promise I'm in my mid twenties, so don't bite my head off for saying that 😋) These show-verviews really hit me in the feels 🥰

[@magicshooooop]

I distinctly remember when you were in Chitty, and you made a video where you said “if you have the time, and you have the money, you NEED to come see this show”. I realized that I could make it happen, and that is the whole reason I travelled outside of the US for the first time

[@fearnevlogs]

The fact your outfit coordinates with your bookshelf just makes my heart happy 😆 I’m teching Chitty in May so this is so cool to watch !

[@Carrie]

hahaha I hadn't even realised!

[@bcoolfool1014]

When I heard, "but more on that next time... thanks for watching". I was like no. No. No, no, no. Carry on. Carry on. Why are you stopping? I want to hear the next bit. Totally enthralled. Could've listened to those stories for hours. And I will, when the show-verview playlist is complete! It's easy to see why you're such a good writer. You tell a story so captivatingly Xx

[@ella-louiseffitch749]

i loved seeing you play Cinderella on stage You're the best I have always wanted to see you perform and it was a dream come true

[@MaileEric]

I am living for this series!! SOOO fascinating! Of course, I love all of your content, you are AWESOME! So cool to see your old pictures from when you were a kid, especially with Michael Ball, ESPECIALLY because of the amazing Les Mis concert where you are both perfection! ❤️

[@georgiagamba5864]

You and Scott are honestly the definition of best friends. I adore you both so much! You are such an inspiration to me love you 😗💕

[@KellyIsShort]

I met and saw you during the Plymouth part of the tour. Still one of my favourite shows and experiences.

[@KatzePiano]

This was such a cosy watch. I think because I've been subscribed for such a long time and remember when you were on the tour, it felt a bit like an old friend recounting shared memories. Really enjoying this series!

[@richardlaundon]

I love these reveal all episodes as it reminds me of my 14 years in musical theatre. I'm sure every actor could fill at least 5 books with stories abot their time on and off stage. My best story would be from doing Sound of Music where Maria and one of the kids were meant to be on stage together with a fairly large scene but Maria didn't turn up as she had got ready into her Act 2 costume. This left "Brigitta" on stage alone for what seemed like an age before one of the other cast wanders on and strikes up the same conversation that Maria was mean to have.

[@annabel4313]

My parents took me to see Chitty in MK! It was the perfect show to see as I was such a massive fan at the time (as in, still love you now but I was a crazy 15 year old then haha) but also Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was the movie that I watched pretty much every day as a small child so my parents were excited to take me. I remember genuinely being in awe of your voice, especially in Lovely Lonely Man, and also thinking that Scott stole the show - without knowing who he was at the time of course! (I've always had a soft spot for comedic characters). Also, I still have my copy of All I Know Now that you signed at stage door - thank you so much for taking your time to come out and say hello!

[@jessica23claire]

My god what a throwback, I remember seeing you cut your hair for Truly and it was An Event ™️ (I’ve been here for a while….) That photobomb of little John McCrea is PRICELESS. Took me ages to find out he was Fergus in the Catherine Tate Show as well.

[@ginabeall7022]

Love hearing these stories

[@wednesrae]

such a cool series!! its so inspiring to be able to have a peek behind the scenes of these incredible shows, thanks carrie

[@taycario]

I Love this series! so different from the vlogs and its so fun seeing an insight from an amazing actress. totally off topic BUT Seeing Cinderella (alw) was absolutely amazing all the cast are so talented ❤️ chitty and Cinderella are most definitely in my top 5 musicals (love your book shelf way to much)

[@madeline4065]

ive been in chitty when i was about 6-8 years old and i forgot how much i loved it

[@DobbysSock]

I watched Chitty in Milton Keynes! I'm kind of sad now it wasn't the opening night 😂 I was so excited to see you in a show though!

[@DeeHazel]

Omgoodness I've only watched the first minute and I can tell that this is going to cheer me up no end (and I seriously needed that this evening) so thank you! I saw Chitty in Birmingham twice and it was magical!

[@EmKing1992]

I met you when you came to Cardiff in 2016 with chitty and it was the first time I’d ever waited at stage door - I haven’t done it since either. My family and I had been going through the mill - husband and I had been trying for our first baby for a while to no avail (all good have a 4 and 2 year old now) and at the time your book OTOS and chitty vlogs just gave me sparks of happiness - meeting you was just cherry on the cake that year. Love ya fletch.

[@katiebigglestone446]

I'm obsessed with Carries book corner

[@sweetl0litas]

cryyyinnggg at the “good DAY sir !!” 😂😂😂

[@gemma9021]

Lovely I love this show

[@rosylyon1992]

I saw your first night in Milton Keynes… the show stop just made it more special for us. I also saw Chitty as a kid but I’m not sure who played Jemima when I went all those years ago but it was my first west end experience so felt full circle for me in 2016 😊

[@artikapoor1209]

I loved watching your vlogs of these shows and going back to hearing you talk about this one was so much fun!! Can’t believe it’s been so long, either! Your friendship with Scott is so funny and adorable, I love that you met in such an awkward way that you can totally laugh about it now. Looking forward to the next as always!

[@Ministf]

It's so refreshing to hear stories of forgetting lines. I've considered leaving my dream behind because the pressure and the fear of forgetting lines has grown so big after not having done much performing lately. And I've never really forgotten anything, but that feeling of not knowing if you'll remember the line is just the worst feeling. So knowing that big actors do the same, but you just sort of keep going, knowing it's not gonna happen at every line (which it won't let's be real) is just so good to know.

[@Cetty22]

Thanks for making these Show-reviews Carrie! I've only done community theatre thus far but hearing from you what it's really like for professional theatre in your lovely, jovial way is refreshing!

[@kportz19]

I’ve been watching you for nearly 10 years now and it is so fun to hear you talk about Chitty. I remember the vlogs like they were yesterday. It’s crazy to think I was 12 when I found your channel and am 21 now!

[@georgiebutler3950]

Carrie I’ve missed you I am so happy your back I love you and your videos so much

[@fallintofiction9884]

I absolutely adore watching these!! I’ve seen most of the shows you’ve been in and have always kept up with the vlogs, so this feels like a gorgeous trip down memory lane🥰

[@DarknessHasFallen666]

This brought back such fond memories of all your vlogs during that time - love this series Carrie, hope Covid isn't hitting you too hard

[@lilymae3762]

hey, i saw you in cinderella tonight and i'm actually mind blown. i was outside the theatre when you came out and i know you guys can't do stage door stuff anymore but i wanted to shout hi or wave or something but i got really anxious about it so i came here just to tell you how amazing you were. 'I Know I Have A Heart' is one of my favourite songs right now and i will genuinely never forget being only a few rows back, and being able to see you sing it so beautifully. i had chills, it was just an amazing experience, thank you so much! (i'm also loving With This Kiss btw) x

[@kryptotasticc]

you had a show in wimbledon where i think jack howard and a few other friends of yours showed up, that same show was my first ever time seeing a live musical. i travelled from argentina (lat america) to see chitty cause of you and because it was my grandfathers's favorite musical. i was having my first nando's when u walked down the street to go into the theatre and i remember i got so shy but my mother urged me to say hi and we took a picture together. i was 14 and i look very dorky but that whole day was so frigging special to me.

[@bethanybanana7447]

love these, im tears from laughter at the stories. Sounds like a wonderful time!

[@ashc6520]

These are some of my FAVORITE videos! Helps cure my theatre bug when I’m not in a show 😩 also you’re a musical theatre iconnnnn

[@Carina5707]

Your last story reminds me of goof up in a production of Cinderella I was in. It was a bizarrely hilarious adaption with tons of extra characters. Like six step sisters, six heralds, three fairy godmothers and 3 “goddesses” played by little girls. Anyway, after Cinderella runs off into the audience, she loses her shoe on the stairs. A scene or two later, the prince is supposed to pick up the shoe and has a conversation on the stairs with all his heralds. For one of the performances however, one of the heralds, for some reason, grabbed up the shoe and was holding it. The prince couldn’t find the shoe on the stairs and just ended up miming the entire scene with no shoe. It wasn’t until the end of the scene that the mortified herald presented the shoe, and the actor playing the prince just burst out laughing and went down the steps to retrieve it. The audience laughed and clapped. It was great. It was the performance that was recorded too 😆

[@TessaOswin]

My school did les mis and we had moveable things for the barricade which where one each side of the stage and moved together. Each end could be used as sit during lovely lady ect. Every performance there was a big gap behind one of them so the cart would fit through so it could crash, except the one night we filmed the play where the cart got caught on the set and the guy who was meant to Get run over stood there for a second then fell over for no reason, John Val John I think ended up lifting a cart which was on the other side of the stage than it was meant to be. I still have the video.

[@carlaheinsch7929]

thanks for sharing the stories! So fun!

[@koenmeier8553]

I remember watching those vlogs and there were some epic moments that I recall hearing it.

[@musicals4ever1]

I'm just always so happy when I see you! Great video, thanks Carrie!

[@dramaqueen_94]

Love this series remember coming to see this in Cardiff for my 21st birthday best gift I got x

[@CrystalEyes83]

I love these so much I cannot even begin to articulate it properly. Thank you so much for doing this series Carrie. I hope you’re starting to feel better and back to Cinders soon xxx

[@alison5673]

Lovely to see you back making videos!!

[@powerfulwitch666]

I Loooove to listen to these!! You could make them an hour long, i'd be down for it

[@emilyhughes1628]

That Jason Manford story - how sweet!

[@rosiescott1531]

You're a wonderful storyteller! Keep these showverviews coming x

[@annabelyates5219]

I adored seeing this show! I still have my signed bits!

[@sammy431]

Yay! The perfect thing to watch while I cook dinner tonight. I love the Chitty vlogs so much, especially the covers with Matt and ghost hunting with Scott.

[@HowCaseySeesIt]

I’m living for these videos

[@florriefightingale5161]

I would LOVE KZbin videos for Cinderella and future shows where you treat us as someone shadowing you, and you teach us your track, kettle boiling and all!!!!

[@teresaharris7832]

I just love hearing your theatre stories Carrie. Thank you x

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

Those stories are so funny! I saw the show that October I think (after you'd left) and it was such a joyful experience!

[@rhiannondaye1263]

I was there on your opening night, it was the first time seeing you and my first and only show stop. I remember the stop being slightly earlier in the show but I'll bow down to your knowledge. I never knew that you had a dress run, then a week off beforehand, you couldn't tell. Jason Manfords voice bit was so funny though 🤣 ❤

[@christycox9882]

I LOVE watching these, it made me smile and laugh so much and pulled back some memories of watching you during that time and what life was like then 💕

[@Nao_Craft]

Absolutely loving this series! Even though I watched your Truly vlogs, it was delightful hearing more behind the scenes stories. I especially loved hearing about your blossoming friendship with Scott! Can’t wait to watch the next one 💕

[@jackm.t.4073]

As someone who is about to graduate with a theater degree, these videos are such a fun way to get behind the scenes stuff about the industry!

[@karenwoodward7737]

I love listening to these showverviews. Find it so interesting. I did Peter Pan pantomime with Brian Blessed when I was about 9. He was Captain Hook of course and was amazing and all of us kids loved him. 😊

[@LesMisPhantom1]

Absolutely love these! Love hearing all the stories and memories and could listen to you talk about them for hours!

[@Flowofwhimsy]

Thank you so much for sharing those little nuggets of musicals memory! They are really enjoyable to watch!

[@ryanwinch2642]

It’s lovely to see you back on KZbin. We’ve missed you.

[@KittyCatThang]

Your and Scott's friendship is the most adorable thing I've ever seen and I love it.

[@jenny6161]

These videos are my favourite and they make me smile SO SO much. Love you Carrie! 😍

[@something673]

Awww those happy funny moments make me happy

[@snailsandwhales2788]

Absolutely loved this video! Remember when you did all this, can't belive it's been six years! Your amazing! I laughed so much watching this x

[@jusmarch3740]

Absolutely loved this !!! so interesting.... and so funny. Thank u x

[@Lisa-nk3oh]

Show-verview is my favorite videoes of yours!

[@creativereindeer]

Love a behind the scenes. Or here ‘curtain’ - remember coming to see you in it in wimbledon I think! Fun times!

[@elexneonabingdon]

I saw you in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in London, it was great! My friend and I met Lee Mead in the coffee shop round the corner before the show :)

[@FanaticalLove]

Loved hearing these stories

[@samanthanavarro5839]

This is soo cute!!! I need more stories of you and scott!! I love your friendship. I've watched all the vlogs. But I need more stories!!!

[@jenn_ivy]

Missed your theater stories

[@Alexlouise98]

Love hearing about all the stories and I can't believe that Chitty was so long ago. I saw one of the opening performances in Leeds and can't believe how long ago it was. I also cannot wait for the Cinderella version as I am hooked on that show. Saw it for the first time last month and have already seen it once more and am seeing it again on Wednesday and couldn't get over how incredible you were as Cinders both times and greatly look forward to whoever I see play Cinders on Wednesday. ❤️

[@Carrie]

I know time really flies! When I start looking back even I'm surprised by how long ago it all was!

[@Alexlouise98]

@@Carrie I'm sure I will. I can't wait to see who it is and im sure they will be amazing at it . 😍

[@terminallyelleofficial]

You've lived a life I could only dream of. Thank you for sharing 🥰

[@JoGirl]

I can’t express how much I adore this series!! I always enjoy your content because when I’m not booked and blessed, it makes me feel like I’m still attached to theatre. I learn so much from these stories but I also just grin like an idiot because theatre is such a goddam joy.

[@KiraBa.]

I remember you telling the second story (about you sitting on that motorbike) in a video before, so I knew what was going to happen, but it never fails to make me laugh harder than I should. 😄

[@beverleymartin9788]

I definitely think this is my favourite kind of video and I love the hilarious stories!!

[@mirandaggrace]

i absolutely love these videos!!! it's so interesting to hear you talk about your shows years after i watched the vlogs of when you were in the show. i hope you continue on with this series!

[@emmal7091]

Lovely insight and it must feel so special to have gone straight from Les Mis into another show that you’d done when you were little. Mary Poppins one day for the hat trick maybe…?! 😊

[@Carrie]

Haha I would love to be in Poppins one day! ❤️

[@amymay7032]

I’m I’m

[@Blawwmkw]

All these stories are so good, but I'm absolutely cackling over the roses and card with "Truly...please?"

[@Liezjeuh]

I love these stories and pictures and memories and all the things. :-) Thank you for sharing these with us, Carrie. These must be such precious memories for you. I can't believe how blonde you were though. I was the same as a kid, same blonde hair and now it's almost brown(and the grey starts to show up here and there aaahhhhh 😞) Omg yes, that purple jacket, I think I had a few things of that same sort of material, it was so weird and 'space'-like :-p It is good to see you smiling and happy, I hope you are doing ok. 💝

[@millie4306]

Missed you Carrie !!

[@HeatherH1984]

Jason Manford now has the chitty car in his garden

[@alaynakrastins9812]

Chitty was the first soundtrack I listened to without even knowing you were in it, Chitty was also a movie that lays close to me as I used watched it with my grandma who sadly passed earlier this year ❤️ I bet it’s crazy to think you played Jemima nearly 20 years ago!

[@isobel6196]

I knew what you were going to say about the show stop and the recording! From lockdown

[@amandajennings4033]

I think my favorite part of this video was your Scott impressions. Absolutely spot on, thought I was watching him for a second there instead of you.

[@katiewheatcroft945]

I just wanted to say Carrie that you are OUTSTANDING as an actress your amazing I saw you in Cinderella and you were amazing!! And your voice is just wow I loved it I just wanted to meet you, I saw you on stage and I kept saying can I go see her, I want to be her friend you were amazing keep going!!

[@rowan7147]

It's really nice to hear even amazingly talented professionals get nervous for an audition; I'm watching this two hours before auditioning for a community theatre production and I'm quite nervous 😂
