Los Angeles VIP Premiere Party | Weekend in an Actor's Life | Vlog Part 1

Hi Friends!! Welcome to a (super fun) weekend in my life!!
WATCH PART 2 HERE: BACKSTAGE AT INTO THE WOODS!
• Backstage at INTO THE ...
This week, we've got part 1 of a weekend in my life (does it count as a weekend if it just takes place over Thursday and Friday? No? Oops). Today, we get to go behind the scenes of PIRATES OF PENZANCE presented by The Hypocrites, currently playing at the Pasadena Playhouse! Exclusive footage from opening night, plus the VIP premiere party. After that, you'll see some slightly more normal stuff (going to school, annoying my parents, etc.) and then a super neat Valentine's Day PR unboxing from Smarties! This vlog also sets up next week's video--which is PART 2, backstage at Into the Woods! If you guys didn't know, I'm a working actress currently in a professional production of INTO THE WOODS in Los Angeles. I'm playing Rapunzel and it's super fun. My friends are ridiculously talented and super silly so I can't wait for you guys to see next week's video.
If you're new to my channel, HI! I'm Katherine and I put out a new theatre related video on every #TheatreThursday plus bonus uploads throughout the week! My videos cover a variety of topics include musical theatre / acting advice, theatre kid lifestyle, performance reviews, and general broadway geekery. Additionally, I make usual KZbinr videos, but with a slight theatre-y twist.

[@alyssacalderon6244]

Pirates Of Penzance was the first show I had a principle role for in high school.

[@vicenteantonionunez347]

Omg I love Aquarius from Hair!!! (And honestly, singing to cast recording in the car? Me, except I can’t drive. It’s more like I sit on my school bus and sing cast recordings, because it’s so loud on the bus that nobody can hear my voice cracks).

[@lilahgene6008]

LOOKS LIKE SOO MUCH FUN! Love you, kath 😁

[@jessgill1686]

I relate to the thing you said about your friends liking your mum more. Literally my mum works at my school and when my friends see her they sprint over to her, scream her name and give her a ginormous hug will I’m laughing my ass off in the background

[@rosie85]

“My mom is corny collins” 😂😂😂 YES...not to mention MEAN GIRLS REFERENCE OMG.......qotd- CHEESECAKE! Like there are too many fabulous things she said in this vid to put in the comment...just....holy crap this vid was good

[@mikachine6560]

both of your parents are so cute!

[@rajaahmedsaeed3088]

Your mom is adorable ❤❤

[@lexig49]

You should totally do a stage makeup tutorial for Anya/Anastasia!

[@Kath_Steele]

Definitely on the list!! I just haven't seen the show yet :/

[@girlonabookshelf4922]

"This is what happens when you let the artsy kids do sports hELP!" The most accurate thing I've ever heard about artsy kids EVER!!

[@shaydee5041]

Kathrine is getting me in the theatre mood!!! I just got casted as jasmine in aladdin jr. and i’m soooooooo excited!!! And seeing you upload got me sooo excited

[@Kath_Steele]

Congrats!! 💕

[@margaretgiles]

Is that at a school?

[@shaydee5041]

Maggie_ Anne Yes

[@sarahkline8829]

My uncle used to play the pirate king- Kevin Kline

[@Kath_Steele]

That's so cool!

[@ElizabethMerritt]

I totally get the "this is what happens when you let arts kids do sports" part LOL!! Yesterday I was at rehearsal for my school play and the basetball game was going on at the same time. We ran down to watch them play, came back, and were questioned what people do at basketball games 😂😂✨✨

[@abbygotzkowsky4060]

I'm hiding in a car because what else is new? Lol love you Katherine😄

[@MrsLevitanBoss]

Your mom is so funny! 👑❤

[@jaxoxob]

YOU 👏 NEED 👏 TO 👏 DO 👏 A 👏 TAG/COLLAB 👏 WITH 👏 YOUR 👏 MOM 👏

[@Kath_Steele]

omg 😂😂😂

[@fergarzaaa3076]

the suspense!

[@evesperling9784]

I was quite confused during the opening of the package until I remembered that you live in the States 😂 in Canada, we call smarties Rockets, and Smarties are their own candy, pretty similar to M&M’s. Hope you have a wonderful run of Into The Woods and that everything goes as smoothly as you can hope for! ❤️

[@bellahuettner4904]

omg I’m in Maryland and literally nothing comes here !! I’m 100% gonna go see this it looks like so much fun !!!

[@two-face1041]

She was definitely THE theater booster mom lol

[@Kath_Steele]

President 2 years in a row, secretary for 1

[@haydenbethburwick2205]

this looks so fantastic!! I would LOVE to see it! my favorite dessert is brownie sundaes! brownies AND ice cream? heavennnn! :)

[@nakiahlawless3597]

SO COOL!!!

[@gracekrasny3073]

You should do more broadway bites videos I love those!! ILY

[@anneblackwood9013]

"This is what happens when you let all the arts kids try to do sports." RELATABLE! Whenever I have to play a game that's slightly sporty I just use the excuse "I go to an arts school!!! I'm a theatre kid in the choir and songwriting classes! We don't *_do_* sports!"

[@Niqhtmusic]

Anne Blackwood hahah! same

[@lilyisalizard]

Okay smarties in the uk are a completely different kind of candy I was really confused when you opened the box ahaha

[@MrsLevitanBoss]

My favorite dessert when performing is a mango! At any other times, probably a fudge sundae, puff puff (Nigerian food), or apple pie.

[@nakiahlawless3597]

My fave dessert is anything with sugar!

[@jessicahall658]

My fave dessert is definitely chocolate chip cookies, ya know I gotta go with the originals. 👌👌

[@taylorhanes8247]

My favorite dessert is either brownies straight from the oven OR chocolate and vanilla twist soft serve ice cream! Also, I definitely need to know how you did your hair to get those curls/waves cause they're AMAZING xxx

[@Kath_Steele]

Thank you!! I used a super tiny curling iron for extra tight curls!!

[@Kyndee123]

My first ever musical was Pirates of Penzanzce. I was cast as Edith, even though I was a Sophomore, which is very uncommon in my school! My old choir director and his wife met in this show, and its also where my fiance and I met and started dating. Pirates of Penzance will forever hold a place in my heart ❤

[@maggieoconnell36]

My favorite dessert is mint Klondike bars cause they remind me of my grandpa

[@ella-ri7pn]

OH MY GOSH KATHERINE! i had the worst slip the other day! so.. i’ve always wanted to play small alison ever since it opened, and when i got an ad for fun home auditions, i nearly fainted! i sent my resume, booked an audition, and talked with the casting director. from the nice words they said about my singing and acting, i was sure i would get the role. but.. i just realized then that the theatre was in california, and i live in a small town fourty five minutes away from toronto! 😂😂

[@MC-eq5mq]

OMG!! I SAW THEM PERFORM THIS AT BERKELEY REP A FEW YRS AGO!!!! Sooooooo much fun, especially sitting on the stage and in the kiddie pools at one point.

[@Kath_Steele]

Isn't it insane?!?! So fun!!

[@loveme1641]

My favorite dessert is EVERYTHING!! Lol, but I have a huge sweet tooth, so I really can't think of just one unless you count every Reese's candy as a dessert. Anyway, can you do a review of The Greatest Showman, I love it!

[@scottbarnes6437]

Your mom seems like such a lovely lady❣️

[@verynormalusername]

katherine, i just had the last show of my high school experience yesterday and im cryin in the club

Aaaaaah! Love you!!!! #theaterthursdayfam ♥️🎼 ALSO, wanted to tell u. I GOT CAST IN JOSEPH IN THE TECHNICOLOR DREAM COAT WITH THE CHRISTINE DWYER!!!! LOVE U GIRL ♥️💗💓💞

[@anneblackwood9013]

When I saw this,I was excited (of course), but I was like da like "Wow, the video's kinda long." But then I was really sad that it was over. Btw, I love ice cream.

[@willow3380]

8.5k views and not 1dislike...am I surprised...of course not💕💕

[@theresacarpinelli6627]

[@harpercarroll9670]

Cheescake is soo good! Nutella or Oreo... great vid looked so fun😄😄😄

[@fairytalebeliever8394]

Peach cobbler!!! And my god you are stunning

[@Kath_Steele]

[@youaremagick5935]

My favorite dessert is watching your videos.

[@jaxoxob]

Omg love you 💜💜💜💜 just showed you’re videos to one of my friends who’s starting to audition for theatre colleges

[@tyrakristiansen7188]

Also, WHAT KIND OF SMARTIES ARE THOSE?? Our smarties are basically mini MnMs!

[@loverlykylie]

That looks so fun!! QOTD: I have such a sweet tooth, so any kinda dessert will do lol. But I’m listening to Waitress a lot so probably just lots of pie!!!!💜

[@grace.elizabeth.altenburger]

I've always wanted a backstage vlog from Kath!!! (Internal screaming) also, my favorite dessert is cannolis because the RICOTTA WITH THE CREAM CHEASE UGH 😫

[@heartsunglassesrry1133]

Currently sobbing watching this video because I miss doing things like this before the world came crashing and burning down

[@maribarchi]

The first show ever coming to Maryland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sadiewootton6720]

I thought she was getting a giant box of ACTUAL smarties (the chocolate ones)

[@sophie_super_fan229]

My favorite dessert is everything! 😂😍

[@Kath_Steele]

^relatable

[@JulietteVeronica1201]

My favorite dessert is my mom's lemon squares. It has to be her recipe though because I've tried so many versions and none of them compare to my mom's.

[@michaelaalcordo1614]

Your mom is so adorable! ❤️ My favorite dessert is strawberry shortcake!!!! (But seriously pretty much every dessert is amazing 😂) I cant wait for part 2!!

[@ronnimcallister3970]

OMG I love these kinds of "In The Life" Vlogs! I mean, you got to see what looks like a super fun show, AND BE in a fantastic show (soooo looking forward to that Backstage video, btw!), and then you got free candy!?! It looks like you have a perfect life, and I say, the more time we all get to spend with you, the better! P.S. If I'm ever a parent, I hope I'm half as cool as your mom! ILYSM!!!

[@abigailharper4633]

I am currently playing Isabel in pirates of penzance jr!

[@mariafilo2688]

“This is what happens when you let all the arts kids try to do sports please help” 😂😂😂 just summed up my life

[@bway_car08]

I love Cheesecake and any cookies and creme

[@jonicebernard]

Yay new vid!! Also your hair is really cute 😁😁

[@Kath_Steele]

Thank you!! I wanted to go full '90s haha!!

[@Gcherry64]

Lava cakes are the best!!! Also, any other Canadians here confused when Katherine was talking about Smarties and then pulled out Rockets. Just to clarify, Smarties candies in America are called Rockets in Canada and Smarties in Canada are actually similar to MnM's. You're awesome Katherine!!! :D

[@chiarapower8434]

Yaaaaasssss. You are my favorite KZbinr! You have no idea how much you have helped me. Thank you so much!!

[@MidwestMermaid]

Anybody else really wanna know that that music in the background was at 4:15?? It sounded really good!

[@ashleyanderson6931]

My favorite dessert is cheesecake or BROOWWWNNIESS

[@dxnnxxmc]

Fav dessert: Cupcakes I die for cupcakes

[@sweetlifewithsav]

AGE OF AQUARIUS AGE OF AQUARIUS AQUARIUSSSSS sorry I love that song 😂 my theater is doing a collection of broadway songs and we are getting to perform at Disney World and Universal over the summer and one of the songs we are doing is Aquarius 😂

[@angie_thompson237]

[@jaredporikos2197]

O_O Magical Transitions !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@spacetrashpile7199]

Well now that you've included it, I've gotta know, which Hairspray cast/recording do you prefer?

[@kaitlinperry8214]

Favorite dessert????? My gosh Kath don't make me choose!

[@ansleyhendrix3381]

Sorry for the late response, but my favorite dessert? Definitely milky chocolate.. Creamy chocolate, Hershey's, Reeses' peanut butter cups!

[@jvmenjivar]

QUEEN 💕

[@Grace-sc5oq]

I always forget the US doesn't have our version of smarties (chocolate kind of like M&Ms) and we call your smarties rockets so I was very confused when you opened that package and all I saw were rockets😂

[@Kath_Steele]

Ooh that's so interesting!! 🍬🍬

[@gretteepham]

So I am auditioning for the arts school for musical theater and thank you so much ur videos helped me get a call back THANK YOU SO MUCH I just hope now I ace my call back and make it in

[@Kath_Steele]

[@Realbeatz86]

Favorite dessert: Dessert Ravioli

[@Mousy677]

I am...so thrilled about this production of pirates (that I will never see because I live in England. rip); I Really Adore gilbert and sullivan and I'm a sucker for modern adaptations. (it actually reminds me of ohio Shakespeare festival's production of the yeomen of the guard.) also I love.......cheesecake

[@emme1782]

Aww cutie💖(ugh I love your hair]

[@Kath_Steele]

THANK YOU! ❤️

[@EmRose.r]

Sometimes I forget that Smarties in America are Rockets in Canada and smarties in Canada is an off brand M&M...

[@alifeonlyonthestage]

This looks like such a cool production! And your mom seems awesome! I like a good tiramisu, but I also believe the importance of ice cream can't be overstated. Also, omg, can't wait for part 2! I love me some backstage footage.

[@justinebayne1556]

In Canada we call "Smarties" "Rockets", Smarties in Canada are a candy cover chocolate, so weird that they are different! also i

[@pey10shel10]

I love how there’s zero dislikes

[@JustJay]

I cannot wait for next week's vlog! :D

[@MidnightStarz111]

hi katherine! what brand of false lashes are you wearing? they look so good! 💖💖

[@chloe2525]

The premiere looks amazing! You're so lucky that you went 🎉
