Last time I was this early taylor swift still had teardrops on her guitar(congratulations on the engagement btw)

[@k.hizzle5376]

Two Kat Steele videos two days in a row? What did we do to deserve this?

[@christophergarrett7082]

Note to all youtubers singing your apology just makes you even sound more guilty

[@Kath_Steele]

*cell block tango has left the chat*

[@alliethetheatreswiftie]

just imagine a youtuber fully belting “I DIDN’T DO IT, BUT IF I’D DONE IT, HOW COULD YOU TELL ME THAT I WAS WRONG”

[@juliaholzschuher]

Okay Kat coming through with the non theatre videos and pop culture videos. Also something that happened to me this year was I graduated college again but with a degree in musical theatre and I celebrated living in nyc for 2 years.

[@k.hizzle5376]

Oooo! Congrats to you!

[@henrycreel_draws]

I perfomed on the West End this year- I still cant believe it! ✨️

[@milkmilk8721]

Omg! What’s your stage name? I wanna look it up! :D

[@flickering-ghostlight]

Valid criticism of Taylor swift: SHE’S EMITTING ALMOST FORTY TIMES THE AVERAGE PERSON IN CO2 EVERY YEAR AND HAS FOR YEARS. FUCKING STOP?

[@kaleyrose47]

I loved “The Last of Us” so much! All of the Emmy noms are so deserved-I cannot wait for Season 2! Bella Ramsey’s performance in episode 8 broke me, and her and Joel reuniting at the end was just so beautiful. Also Pedro and Bella’s off-screen friendship is one of the most wholesome, purest things to come out of the show. Please do a video on it!

[@cloudriiboppin]

Happy new year and congrats on the engagement! I was gonna bring up two things actually- 1 - Hunger Games Renaissance. I wasn't a hunger games girlie growing up but I loved this so much? Everyone was so happy about it and it was just so sweet to see all of the fanartists, writers, old and new fans it was just so nice from an onlooking perspective. 2 - THE FNAF MOVIE. I may have mixed opinions on the movie myself but still, it brought a community together as a whole and the reception was just great? I know te fandom can be horrible but I met so many nice people thorough talking about it? I just. Yeah.

[@ramenjd6239]

I’m watching the Color Purple movie musical in a few days and I’m excited for it!!

[@kathycush]

Yes please to a Last of Us video!! Also yes please to hear about or see some gaming. Thanks for always being so positive and uplifting. Congrats on the engagement.

I got cast in my first lead in a musical in 2023!! (Bakers wife into the woods)

[@Kath_Steele]

omg yay! Congrats 🩷🎉

[@camicakes2]

In 2023 I made my Broadway debut with Parade!!

[@ely_sky]

that's awesome, dude. congrats!!

[@christophergarrett7082]

I can't wait to see wicked. The funniest is george santos trying to take credit for spiderman into the dark. Like if you were going to lie about being involved with a Broadway show you think you would pick one that wasn't a disaster

[@sophielem59]

Congratulations on the engagement! I wish you a happy new year! 🩵

[@paisleyrocco923]

AHHH! two videos in one day, soo entertained, congrats on the engagement too!!!! love you Kat ❤❤❤

[@tommydevito4105]

Congratulations on your engagement!!!!

[@Thatannoyingartist]

Omg congratulations on the engagement!! I love singing and recently discovered musical theatre and are now considering signing up to a stage school! Your videos have been a huge inspiration for me and I hope you had a great new years :D

[@Kath_Steele]

How exciting!! So stoked for you! (and thanks! 💗)

[@pandas4evr123197]

I would love to be a fly on the wall to hear some of Bo and Phoebe's conversations lol they seem to compliment each other so well, I hope they are both happy

[@Showtunediva]

Happy New Year!❤

[@tedioustotoro4885]

In 2023, after years of being an at the side theatre kid, I finally got see some actual shows. I saw six shows in all (though there was several that I wanted to see but couldn’t due to money/scheduling). I saw My Neighbour Totoro in January, SpongeBob in April, Groundhog Day in June, The Garden of Words in August, Lord of the Rings in September, and Everybody’s Talking About Jamie in December. I’m hoping to see even more in 2024 like Hadestown, Mean Girls, and Shucked (if it opens in London this year like they said) but the only show I currently have booked is Spirited Away in June. Also, one of my favourite video games of all time released, Stray Gods, it’s literally an interactive Broadway musical where your choices change the songs, I really hope it wins the Grammy that it’s nominated for because the amount of complexity and work needed to do that cannot be understated. It’s also got a pretty star studded cast, Laura Bailey as the lead, Grace, Troy Baker as Apollo, Ashley Johnson as Calliope (you mentioned your love of TLOU so those two will appeal to you), Felicia Day as Athena, Khary Payton as Pan, it even has Anthony Rapp playing Orpheus at one point. It went under the radar because it released literally like two weeks into the actor’s strike. But what I’m saying, Kat, is that this is the perfect game for you and that you should play it.

[@copper.canary]

Good omens season two!!! Broke all of us but what a moment oh my god

[@pumpkin_guineapig]

I’m sadden by Phantom’s closing. The real reason why Cameron Mackintosh and Webber closed Phantom on Broadway was because they did not want to pay royalties to the estates of Hal Prince and Dame Gillian Lynne. ALW should retire from the industry and spend more time with his family after his son died. Greed is what killed Phantom on Broadway. Looking forward to Wicked the movie though!

[@artsyfartsy748]

I thought it was Keith urban who accidentally heard launched, the relationship of Bo Burnham and Phoebe Bridgers I don’t think it was Nicole Kidman think it was Keith urban😂

[@lonellfletcher]

Personally, I love that Wicked is becoming two films. There's so much that is said and not shown in the stage production that would be great to see, as well as characterizations and plot points that will be fully realized now because of the space given.

[@jackharrington697]

Kat happy new year and congrats on the engagement girl!! Hope 2024 is great for you!

[@glossbones]

Happy New Year!

[@princesslilyfromtheisleoft2649]

I always love watching your videos Kat! I hope 2024 brings you nothing but happiness, joy, and success! Also, quick little theatre flex, I just got cast in my first High School musical! We’re doing The Addams Family and I’m one of the Ancestors! I’m so excited to start rehearsal for this show, my school theatre has been amazing and the theater kids have been so supportive and kind to me. I’m happy to have such a great group of friends. Also, for Christmas my mom told me that in April she and I are going to see one of the tour performances of Beetlejuice!!! This will be my first professional musical I see live and I’m really excited! Happy New Year Kat! 💖🎉💕

[@avengirl6479]

The way Phantom of the Opera closed on Broadway is just so sad. I still can't move on after this tragic time considering how much that show has changed my life

[@manuelorozco7760]

Happy New Year Kat! I’m hyped for the Wicked movie as much as you are! The show made me the musical theatre geek I am today as you probably may know right now!

[@paulgrahvays]

this is a great video but my jaw dropped at the sponsorship🎀

[@parkertruluck]

The spider man and beetle juice problems? Situations? Whatever they were, are one of those things I look at when I feel bad or stupid because, if all else fails at least I’m not these people

[@deaflepuff-abby6430]

I graduated with my Child and Youth Care Counsellor degree! Joined a choir and performed (many times in a short span of time), upgraded my RCM Level for Piano :)

[@winterburden]

Thanks Kat!

[@gabrielcastaneda9700]

I’d love to get your opinion on the color purple film that recently released

[@TonySolis99]

I love this video, but I was so caught off guard by the ad

[@lacookie292]

Right?! I was watching with my daughter and had to quickly fast forward. lol

[@MABACTS]

Great video, but it was absolutely exhausting to relive this year. lol

[@theakwardactor9788]

I would love, love, love, LOVE to see a video of you discussing the last of us!!

[@kaleyrose47]

Me too! I’ve never played the game, but am aware of the plot to come. I thought it wasn’t just a great adaptation, but a great show that can stand on its own! Bella, Pedro and the whole cast were incredible, and I can’t wait to see them reunite for the Emmy’s and other award shows in the coming weeks!

[@Virginiajaneisloading]

BEST THING THAT HAPPENED THIS YEAR!!! i got into a production of sweeney todd😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@okilodolicy]

Happy New Year! 🎉.

[@charlottehardy822]

Happy New Year and congratulations on your engagement 🎉

[@victorpascucci4]

I think the biggest S tier moment is Ms Gypsy Rose Blanchard getting released from prison bc wow did the internet blow up over that

[@JackieWarner13]

Bring on Mean Girls & Wicked p1. I can't believe some of these things happened this year. I have yet to update my twitter app to x bc I don't wanna. I won't be calling it x ever. I get to see Taylor next month woo I'm going to 5 shows in Australia.

[@jilliandonn3528]

My honorary mention: Rebecca *finally* had it's English-language debut (I saw it off West-End a few months ago and it was STELLAR)

[@amanday3103]

I’M SO HAPPY YOU LISTEN TO CHAPPELL ROAN AHHHHHHHHH

[@rachelfishbein1478]

The Lauren Boebert Beetlejuice scandal is the gift that just keeps on giving. The jokes are endlessly entertaining 🤪 Between her and the George Santos Spiderman lie, it's only a matter of time before Marjorie Taylor Greene has an absurd musical scandal of her own to complete the crazy congresspeople trifecta.

[@filmgeek520]

Things that happened to me this year: I finally went to Eurovision in-person, and I also finally got diagnosed as Autistic!

[@manuelorozco7760]

I have autism too. Been diagnosed since I was 3

[@kirstynquinn6602]

George Santos just in general was a trip

[@DessMelissa]

I have so many thoughts on The Last of Us season two as well! So yes! Video would be amazing!!! And also as a huge Swifty I A. Have been living this year B. Am sad to hear you have been seeing any negativity about Taylor and Travis cause overwhelming I’ve seen the positive! And also The Eras Tour Film is life especially for us girlies who didn’t get tickets. This year really has been wild

[@IcyIndigo]

Not this video being how I learned Bo Burnham and Phoebe Bridgers are a couple

[@jer9grant]

same

[@laxgoalie1177]

Hey kat! I watch all your videos and I have a really important audition for my dream role coming up in march! Do you have any tips for professionalism in theatre to impress directions?

[@laxgoalie1177]

I mean directors

Katherine!! I wrote a romcom book about Broadway called He Sang to Me. I'd love to send you a free copy 🥰

I would love to see a video on “The Last of Us”!!❤️👌

[@patriciawoodward9121]

Please do a video on The Last of Us ! :)

[@douglasrau5094]

I'm happy Phantom closed. There are only so many Broadway theatres and there's a lot of shows that deserve their due. 35 years....just feels too long. Like, it past Cats for longest running Broadway show eons ago.

Did it bother anyone else that she didn’t resize each graphic so it fit in the tiers? Just me? Cool lol. 😅

[@marlonmoncrieffe0728]

🙁 I wish Kat Steele would hide her Leftism much better...

[@rachelfishbein1478]

You don't need to be a leftist to recognize that certain politicians like Boebert and Santos are absurd human beings.
