Fun fact! I used to work with the dressing room type contracts. The "blue m&M's" type specifics are so that someone can quickly spot if the contract was followed! So it's less of a "I only eat blue candy" behavior, and more of an efficient check point for management!
I was just coming into the comments to say this 😂 the blue sweets thing came from a band with very finicky equipment and it was so they knew if they had to check all their equipment before the show or not
Yes! It was Van Halen. They wanted to have M&Ms with all the brown ones removed and they did it so they could make sure that the venue was paying attention to their requests and not cutting corners. They were one of the first bands to tour with really heavy equipment and they did it to make sure that the venue had taken everything into account, as missing something could result in an injury.
@@Voldycat Yes, that's the one! I believe they had a stage collapse because it hadn't been checked. No one was hurt, luckily, but they realised they needed an easy way to see if their requests had been read. They had the sweet thing in capitals and highlighted but several pages in so it was really obvious if that had been missed then everything had been missed
Carrie, This is so wonderful!! To think that 10 years ago, you were only a few weeks away from your opening night at the Queen's, with such an exciting journey ahead - this show feels such a celebration of everything you have achieved so far and it is absolutely spectacular! We are all so proud of you - and I think 'Ponine would be too. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful 10 years of Musical Theatre with us all...and throwing one awesome Honey & Lemon tea party at the end!! Xx
My mum and I came to see you in Bradford it was the most magical evening! We were sat on the end of a row and there was an usher stood near us, on the way out the usher asked me of i was ok because she said everytime she looked over at me I was crying 😂😂 I grabbed my mums hand in a vice grip when you sang 'stars/ on my own' and wept! Wonderful night it's been my dream to watch you live for years and truly a dream come true!! ❤❤
Lovely little insights that you did well to capture at what must have been a very nervy time. The show is a master class in story telling and the best imaginable celebration of your creativity, talent, humanity and voice. It’s an absolute triumph, and I hope you’re feeling that and believing it and revelling in it. xxx
10:11 The reason for complicated riders is to make sure that it is actually read. If the artist walks in and sees there’s no “sky blue M&Ms” then they know it hasn’t been read. Sorry kids, who are looking for something to mock, but it’s just effective solution to a problem. And standard practice for touring bands for decades. From Wikipedia: Notable rider requests Van Halen requested in the technical rider that a bowl of M&M's be provided in their dressing room with the brown ones removed. Failure to do so would not only mean that the band would not perform, but the venue would still have to pay the full fee.[3] The objective of this was not due to any excesses on the part of the band, but was a method to determine how much attention to detail the crew at a local venue paid to the requests specified in the rider. Should the bowl be absent, or if brown M&M's were present, it would give band members reason to suspect other, legitimate, technical and safety issues were also being performed poorly or were outright overlooked.[4] David Lee Roth stated in his autobiography that this request was made as a result of faulty workmanship at a venue on an earlier tour which nearly cost the life of a member of Van Halen's road crew. He added that at Colorado State University-Pueblo, where he found brown M&M's, the management's failure to read weight requirements in the rider resulted in the band's equipment sinking through the floor and causing over $80,000 of damage.[5]
I really ❤🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷 the combination of📚 and theatre; I enjoyed the show in Birmingham. Thank you Carrie Hope Fletcher for singing Bubblewrap, it’s one of my favourite Mcfly songs 😊
It sounds as if you were loving the people of Bradford. I recently visited the city and was also amazed by how many genuinely friendly and humble people I met there. It was remarkable 💞
I still cannot get over how bloody brilliant you were at Bradford. Mum cried buckets at the les mis segment and I was almost in the floor after you did pulled and bubblewrap! Hope you're having a lovely time on this tour!
The night in Southampton was so magical and such a night to remember! Thank you for giving us the gift of love and happiness, you're like a big sister to everyone ❤
I came to see you in Nottingham and it was the most wonderful experience ever! You were so lovely at the meet and greet and after hearing/seeing you perform for the first time, my mum said “I would absolutely see anything that she’s in: she’s amazing”!
It was an absolute pleasure to watch your show in Llandudno your show is amazing and made me cry! Thank you for sharing your talent with us and giving my mum and I a wonderful evening we'll never forget!
That night in Sheffield was so magical Carrie. You should be so proud of yourself to be performing an incredibly special show every night of your tour. Can’t wait to see the future vlogs 📚✨
Hi Carrie! I met you on opening night in Bradford, and whilst I know the chances of you seeing this comment are slim to none, I just wanted to let you know that it was probably the most incredible night of my life!! We had meet-and-greet tickets, and I gave you a little felt Edgar and a rainbow, along with a letter? You also asked me if there was a particular story I was hoping to see, and I said, "I Say No", and then screamed bloody murder when you said I would probably be quite pleased with the show. Sorry about that, haha. It was honestly a dream come true to meet you and see you perform. You've been my idol for years, so I kind of forgot how to function when I entered the room and actually saw you. You were the lovliest, kindest, most patient person ever, even with my incessant babbling, and you just gave me a massive hug when I couldn't formulate any more words. I think I did murmur that it was probably the happiest I've ever been whilst you were hugging me, and it was no exaggeration whatsoever. (I've been hyper basically non-stop in the weeks since, and - more than once - I've had to pinch myself to remind me that yes, it did actually happen!!) I just about managed to hold it together in the room, but I immediately started sobbing the minute I walked out, because it felt so surreal and I was so overwhelmed and overjoyed. (Also: my poster, lanyard, programme, pin badge and hoodie are now my most treasured possessions, and it WILL come to blows if anyone dares to touch them without my permission.) I loved the show from start to finish! It was such a clever concept, and such an amazing, intimate experience being inside a rather cluttered corner of your mind for a couple of hours. I sobbed from start to finish and actually hurt my throat screaming, "BUT I LOVE YOU!!" during ISN. Your voice is even more incredible in person. I don't even have words to describe how magical the show was. We didn't do stage door, because I thought I had already bothered you enough before the show, and one interaction with chaotic, crazy, showtune-blasting me is probably enough for anyone per night. I just needed to find some way to thank you for my favourite theatre experience ever. Please never, ever stop doing what you're doing; it's so inspirational to so many people, more so than I can even explain. I absolutely cannot wait to see where this next chapter takes you!! The best luck in the world for the rest of the tour - you're going to absolutely SMASH IT!!!! ❤❤❤
I saw you in Bradford and thought it was such a magical evening, your set made it all but your humour also said it all too. If I’d had to chance to see you twice and meet you that would probably have made my year. Maybe next time xxx
Hi Carrie! Me and my mum came to see you in Newcastle on Saturday and it was the most magical night of my life. As soon as you came on stage, I was in happy tears because of how much i love you and how much you have helped me . I’ve been watching you since your veronica vlogs (i was 7) and your talent has inspired me to pursue a career in acting. I came to see your show straight after my after- show party from when i did shrek but you were phenomenal ❤
I saw you in Southampton it was an amazing show, I have never seen the Mayflower so full and busy. The audience was buzzing th whole tme, well done and thank you for such an amazing night out x❤❤
You are truly a force to be reckoned with! You are so deserving of all this love it’s unreal, you are a VISION on stage! Everytime I think back to Birmingham, I get slightly emotional, I’ve been having a hard time recently but that whole day was an absolute dream! Hearing “Pulled” again after so long really got me same as “I Say No”, Addams being my first show for you and Scott and Heathers being my first West End show. You’re truly special Carrie, and this TOUR IS HISTORY IN THE MAKING, I just know it!! Thank you for always sharing your journey, see you again in BATH!! 💚✨
I loved every minute of it! I flew over from Germany because I wanted to see you perform again, the last time being in Les Mis in 2015(?). So glad I did. The room was filled with so much excitement and love and happy faces, it felt really special to witness. Thank you for an amazing experience ❤
carrieee! i saw (and met!) you in milton keynes the other day and i have never been happier. It was such a magical night filled with laughs and cheers and a night i'll remember forever. I can't wait to see more vlogs from this incredible tour
It was so lovely to meet you at the meet & greet at Nottingham! It was a beautiful show, with lots of heart and warmth (and not forgetting Geraldine). Thank you for being brave enough to be your true self. X
Saw it in Birmingham and it truly was like watching a UA-cam video of yours and it was a brilliant concept of a show and I hope this tour gave you the confidence to do more because I could’ve of watch this show every night and thank you for the photo and meeting me you truly are my inspiration and I’m rocking my curls because of you.
Seriously! Your hair! Looks absolutely amazing! The colour is very fiery! If you had a magic power it would be fire and I'd think the ends of your hair would be small flames. Sounds weird but I'm a writer and that is what I'm imagining! Have a lovely tour!
Carrie I just went through a awful breakup right before I saw you in Endingbruh, but I have to say you absolutely lifted my spirits and your voice just opened up a bit in me which I hadn’t seen since I moved out of my home and you are such a inspiration to me ❤
Been a huge fan of your work and watched your videos for many years and have finally made it into one! It was so amazing to meet you at the Bradford show! It was honestly amazing and you have such a kind heart and are such a lovely person! Thank you for such an amazing experience 💙
The show was amazing Carrie, you are so talented. I saw it at The Palladium - such a great idea, very YOU! I am glad you realised how much the audiences would be on your side and there for you. We all love you! I loved the dress too; I had wondered if you would wear different dresses at different shows so glad this answered that! I guess it fitted with the idea of each show being its own unique, special moment, and it truly was a special evening.
I saw the show in Southampton and it was the best evening ❤️ I was so nervous, yet excited to meet you and you couldn’t have been lovelier 🤗 It was a dream to see you perform live as I’ve never yet managed to get to London to see you in one of your shows. Wow!! I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more 🎭 What a show. I was on cloud nine on the drive home. If you’ve considered releasing an album of all the songs from the shows after the tour that would be the cherry on top ⭐️ 💿 Thank you for the opportunity to finally see you perform live, I can’t express how incredible you were, I loved every second 😍
Carrie you’ve done a brilliant tour, so happy you challenged yourself & did this tour. Myself & my mum loved your Birmingham show, I especially loved that you performed mcfly, heathers and addams family songs along with a punk/rock medley 🤘🏻🎶 Also thank you for taking time to meet everyone at stage door, thank you for being so incredibly lovely; It was fab to see you again after nearly 5yrs. You're smashing it girl! 👏🏻 ❤
My mum and me came to Southampton, it was truely amazing! Mixture of tears and joy, great selection of songs. Thank you for also meeting us, as the queue was very long! Enjoy the last few shows❤, what word/praise do the books make when all put together on the shelf?
I came to your Nottingham show and wish I was coming to your Leicester one it was so amazing I wish I had booked VIP tickets. You are an inspiration to girls and I love your personality. Carry on being carrie. Xx ❤
Just been to see the show in Newcastle and it was absolutely phenomenal, loved the way it was set out with the different stories told. And my personal favourite was Carrie singing stars ⭐️. Also massive shoutout to the supporting act Trinity who were unreal! Their rendition of anthem is the best I’ve heard. Also just a warning for anyone who has bought VIP tickets: My mam hadn’t realised that the VIP tickets included a meet and greet tickets- as the email and tickets didn’t give any information about having to arrive early etc. apparently there was meant to be an additional email sent but there were a list of people who didn’t get sent it, including us! They were nice about it and we still got a signed poster, and I wasn’t too gutted as I didn’t know we were meant to meet her anyway until the interval when we got talking to another audience member! So just in case it happens to anyone else!! As I say- still had a class time. But I feel bad that my mam paid for it and we missed it- even though we weren’t to know. Totally ticketmaster’s fault- but never mind!
I also saw it in Newcastle! She was fantastic and I was so happy when she sang Heathers, Les Mis and Mean Girls!! My sister didn’t know any of the songs bc she doesn’t like musicals but I loved every song!! The supporting act was also really good!
absolutely loved it in newcastle last night, i was genuinely SOBBING as soon as i heard the chords for pretty funny and was a mess throughout hahaha - thank you so much for doing that song, it’s my favourite! ❤️
I am coming to see you tonight in Nottingham and I cannot wait - this looks like a truly magical experience! I also just found out I got my dream job today, so this will be extra special - what a way to celebrate. I'm crying from watching this, so know I will be a mess tonight. Thank you for letting us have a snapshot into songs and memories that are personal to you ❤ xx
@Carrie Hope Fletcher it was honestly amazing! We ended up booking tickets for DeMontfort Hall so can't wait to see it again on Tuesday 🥹🥹 hearing you sing certain songs (don't want to ruin it for others) was a dream come true! Love the stories too - you are so funny xxx
I know this video is from a month ago, but I love your videos. All of your videos and vlogs are really cool for me to watch. I have been watching your UA-cam videos for a long time. I started when you were in the Addams Family! You are absolutely amazing and so freakin cool! I know I'll never get to meet you because I can never afford to travel and I'm in the US, but if I ever did get to, I'd be thrilled! I've watched everything I can on UA-cam that you've been in from Heather's to Addams Family and Les Mis! You are so real and down to earth and that's so awesome! I hope everything you do goes well and I'm just so happy to see you happy and healthy. I look forward to watching any other videos or vlogs you post! Hope you have a fantastic evening! ❤
i'm so glad you're vlogging this tour, can't wait to see more!! Especially the bits from Llandudno to Birmingham as i was following the tour for those shows (trying to complete song bingo as I went). I couldn't think of a better way to have spent my week off than watching you living you best life on those stages.
carrie your show was the best! most magical night of my life and i will treasure it forever, thank you so much. ps, i will never be the same after hearing you sing i say no and on my own
Fun fact. I worked with an Academy and Tony award winning author. In a film, the lead actress “rider” required a new set of silk bloomers with tag on every day. That was unusual!
carrie, honestly you’re an inspiration to me and so many. i watched you in london and it was so beautiful and emotional. i graduate next year and would love to perform beside you one day, sending all the love! 🤍🫶🏼✨
Carrie I’m coming to see u twice when u do Panto in Crawley this year once with my mum in a matinee and another evening performance with my dad and I saw u at the Palladium and u were AMAZING!!!!!!
I saw you at the Palladium, I'd been waiting since October to see you as it was my 29th birthday present (libras represent!) And I had a joyous evening, my highlights were Treason, I Say No and Bubblewrap (particular bonus knowing your family were in when you told that story/song). It was worth the wait, such a clever and creative idea- I did a creative project at university that was based on a similar construct in that it was playing songs that had a particular music memory attached to it, so it was really quite moving and a wonderful birthday present! ❤❤
This show is so magical I came to Bradford and Salford and I’m so glad I got to see it and also meet some of my hopeful friends that I’d never met before at the shows! Thankyou so much for creating such a beautiful show 🤍
Hi Carrie! 💕 I met you at stage door after Birmingham’s show the other week and I asked if you’re filming this tour. You replied saying no nothing professional, I meant for UA-cam - so whether we both missed what the other meant there, either way I was so happily surprised when I saw this video come out! Turns out you are filming it! So exciting! 😆💜
I'm so awed by what you've achieved Carrie, you should be so proud of youself. It just shows that you can be a nice and good person and still reach for the stars. You're awesome. Keep being awesome. And i just want you to know that I'm so happy to be on this journey with you. Funny side note. I bought a copy of 'when the curtain falls' second hand, and as i opened it, i was so excited to see it was signed. Yes, it was for someone called Laura (I'm Lian) 😅 but you don't understand how excited i was 😂😂😂 what a happy surprise!
Your videos always bring such joy to my day! 😊 Thanks for sharing a little of what your tour is like. Being from a different country I can’t come and see any of your shows but just having a little behind the scenes vlog makes me feel like I can be a part of it too. Break a leg on all the venues still to come! Xoxo
I am sooo gutted that I live in Germany and cannot come to your tour 😭 from everything that you share, it looks like a terrific night ❤ hope we get to see a few more bits and bobs here 🤞
I would love to see what the ear rings look like! Also to do a virtual window shop at your etsy storefront - as a US Hopeful I can't come to the tour, but some fun bookish earrings would be a fun way to support :)
Can't wait to see you in Glasgow, we have been lucky enough to meet you before 1st time was at Heathers, my son was 18 at the time and was speachless after meeting you. We also were in the queue behind you and Tom at the rockinroller coaster in Disney last year 🥰
You hide your camera so well during the m&g in Bradford! Can't believe I made it into the Vlog. The show was incredible and I really hope that you get to perform it again or there is a recorded performance because I would love to hear it all again. Can't wait until after to find out what all the stories I didn't get to hear were and what songs were hidden within them.
Haha sneaky sneaky! I'm also hoping ti gets recorded so we can do a little album or something! Crossing my fingers! Thanks so much for coming and I hope you enjoyed!
The show is amazing, everything from start to finish is just stunning! My fiancé and I saw you in Oxford, which was fantastic, and then we got to see you again at the Palladium which was just. Absolutely breathtaking energy from that audience and I definitely got teary 😅 You’ve got such a commanding stage presence that somehow feels like a cozy chat at the same time. Can’t wait to see more tour vlogs and can’t wait to continue politely but insistently asking the production company for an album or live recording 😂 (Also you may want to make and pin a comment with a flashing lights warning for the first tech run - 2:18 to 2:41 💜)
Thank you so much! I'm so pleased you enjoyed both shows and I think you got slightly different set lists? Maybe only by one song but I hope it was still a little bit new! (Thank you!)
Came in Salford and it was amazing! I can honestly see this show getting a west end limited run and I would be there as much as possible! Good luck for the rest of the tour ❤
I love the stage! Such a cool concept! The whole show is positively stunning. I’m so glad that people all over the UK, who don't necessarily get to see you in London shows are able to see all of your amazing talent. Do you find it more nerve wracking doing a show when you have your friends and family in? Also intrigued as to how it came about that Trinity would tour with you, they are great!
Isn't the stage amazing! The team did such an incredible job! And yes it's been so lovely to be able to travel to people as opposed to everyone having to come to London. Yes performing to 10 family members is way more nerve wracking than performing to 1000 strangers 😂
What a wonderful vlog! I’m bummed I couldn’t get tickets to your tour but I absolutely intend to see you in Crown Jewels this summer! Bravo Carrie! ❤❤ ❤
As someone watching from the US, anything you are capable of filming is welcome. Also, having a rider doesn't make you a diva. It makes you a touring musician.
I wasn't trying to imply that having a rider makes you a diva. I was just making the point that there's nothing I would ever need to put on a rider that I wouldn't just be able to get for myself and tour myself. I totally get why riders would be necessary for others in other areas but I'm cool with my lemon!
I loved this vlog! Always so cool to see behind the scenes ❤ I saw you in Southampton and oh wow it was a phenomenal. The songs, the staging, just everything i loved it! Also is your etsy still live? Id love to order some earrings to support you.💖
Some people need stuff in their riders for health and safety reasons, and I think I've heard that a lot of artists put stuff on their riders specifically to know that the venues are reading the riders for the health and safety of both themselves and other artists with more important needs.
Saw the show last night in Southend and I was absolutely blown away by it. Just brilliant! Does anyone have a list of the songs as I didn’t’t know them all - obviously I know that there are different ones depending on the choices but if anyone has a list that would be great!
Yes love this .. can’t wait for the next one so happy that I have seen this show you were fantastic and thank you for being sooooo lovely when I met you in London I cried sooo much when you sang stars and the inevitable all the best with the rest of the tour xxx
I saw the show last night it was incredible. Your voice, storytelling and absolute quit whit and reactions to audiences comments (still not over, ‘you’re not pretty… b****ocks’ 😂) were just great. I know you have mentioned your nerves and fear over the show but it really doesn’t show on stage. Either your faking it until you make it really well or you are really truest thriving on stage. Nevertheless, the show is something special. You, Ben and the rest of the team have taken the idea of a tour and created a full on one women show with such a fitting and unique concept Xx
Hahah I have in-ears in during the show so I didn't quite catch what was said! Ahh thank you so much I am definitely faking it until I hopefully make it 😂 So pleased you had a good time when you came to watch
Carrie you are just pure magic in a person 💜 its so cool to see a behind the scenes of how tours work and what goes into as this has eoakwd my curiosity for years!! Also .. can you drop yoir etsy shop link 📚👀💜

@@charlottesreadsthings211 ah we had the bittersweet story at the Palladium and it was a song I wasn't familiar with but it wasn't Pulled ❤

You were so good the show was incredible love the portrait of Edgar!!
This show could have a Westend run it’s amazing your are just phenomenal Carrie ❤

Hi Carrie!
Me and my mum came to see you in Newcastle on Saturday and it was the most magical night of my life. As soon as you came on stage, I was in happy tears because of how much i love you and how much you have helped me . I’ve been watching you since your veronica vlogs (i was 7) and your talent has inspired me to pursue a career in acting. I came to see your show straight after my after- show party from when i did shrek but you were phenomenal ❤
I saw you in Southampton it was an amazing show, I have never seen the Mayflower so full and busy. The audience was buzzing th whole tme, well done and thank you for such an amazing night out x❤❤
The set for the show looks gorgeous! So proud of you for facing your fears and doing the solo tour, you're doing an amazing job :)
You are truly a force to be reckoned with! You are so deserving of all this love it’s unreal, you are a VISION on stage! Everytime I think back to Birmingham, I get slightly emotional, I’ve been having a hard time recently but that whole day was an absolute dream! Hearing “Pulled” again after so long really got me same as “I Say No”, Addams being my first show for you and Scott and Heathers being my first West End show. You’re truly special Carrie, and this TOUR IS HISTORY IN THE MAKING, I just know it!! Thank you for always sharing your journey, see you again in BATH!! 💚✨
Thank you so much, Willow! See you in Bath!
I wonder what beautiful ring you will pick that will represent your tour! Congratulations!
An absolute dream come true. You are brilliant. What is exciting is that this is the start of a whole new chapter! ❤
Me and my sister came to see you in Southampton and it was the best night ever! I enjoyed it so much you were amazing! ❤️
I loved every minute of it! I flew over from Germany because I wanted to see you perform again, the last time being in Les Mis in 2015(?). So glad I did. The room was filled with so much excitement and love and happy faces, it felt really special to witness. Thank you for an amazing experience ❤
carrieee! i saw (and met!) you in milton keynes the other day and i have never been happier. It was such a magical night filled with laughs and cheers and a night i'll remember forever. I can't wait to see more vlogs from this incredible tour
I'm coming to see you in Milton keynes! So excited to see the show 😊
It was so lovely to meet you at the meet & greet at Nottingham! It was a beautiful show, with lots of heart and warmth (and not forgetting Geraldine). Thank you for being brave enough to be your true self. X
Saw it in Birmingham and it truly was like watching a UA-cam video of yours and it was a brilliant concept of a show and I hope this tour gave you the confidence to do more because I could’ve of watch this show every night and thank you for the photo and meeting me you truly are my inspiration and I’m rocking my curls because of you.
Seriously! Your hair! Looks absolutely amazing! The colour is very fiery! If you had a magic power it would be fire and I'd think the ends of your hair would be small flames. Sounds weird but I'm a writer and that is what I'm imagining! Have a lovely tour!
Carrie I just went through a awful breakup right before I saw you in Endingbruh, but I have to say you absolutely lifted my spirits and your voice just opened up a bit in me which I hadn’t seen since I moved out of my home and you are such a inspiration to me ❤
Been a huge fan of your work and watched your videos for many years and have finally made it into one! It was so amazing to meet you at the Bradford show! It was honestly amazing and you have such a kind heart and are such a lovely person! Thank you for such an amazing experience 💙
BRADFORD WAS AMAZING!!! It was amazing!
The show was amazing Carrie, you are so talented. I saw it at The Palladium - such a great idea, very YOU! I am glad you realised how much the audiences would be on your side and there for you. We all love you!
I loved the dress too; I had wondered if you would wear different dresses at different shows so glad this answered that! I guess it fitted with the idea of each show being its own unique, special moment, and it truly was a special evening.
Joel saying “sorry darling” in the background was so adorable 🥹
I saw the show in Southampton and it was the best evening ❤️ I was so nervous, yet excited to meet you and you couldn’t have been lovelier 🤗 It was a dream to see you perform live as I’ve never yet managed to get to London to see you in one of your shows. Wow!! I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more 🎭 What a show. I was on cloud nine on the drive home. If you’ve considered releasing an album of all the songs from the shows after the tour that would be the cherry on top ⭐️ 💿
Thank you for the opportunity to finally see you perform live, I can’t express how incredible you were, I loved every second 😍
I saw you last night in Newcastle and you were just incredible! Thank you for such a fantastic evening, loved every minute xx
Your videos are always so cozy
Carrie you’ve done a brilliant tour, so happy you challenged yourself & did this tour.
Myself & my mum loved your Birmingham show, I especially loved that you performed mcfly, heathers and addams family songs along with a punk/rock medley 🤘🏻🎶
Also thank you for taking time to meet everyone at stage door, thank you for being so incredibly lovely; It was fab to see you again after nearly 5yrs.
You're smashing it girl! 👏🏻 ❤
My mum and me came to Southampton, it was truely amazing! Mixture of tears and joy, great selection of songs. Thank you for also meeting us, as the queue was very long! Enjoy the last few shows❤, what word/praise do the books make when all put together on the shelf?
I came to your Nottingham show and wish I was coming to your Leicester one it was so amazing I wish I had booked VIP tickets. You are an inspiration to girls and I love your personality. Carry on being carrie. Xx ❤
I was at the Bradford show and got a hug from Carrie at the stage door 🥰🥰
Just been to see the show in Newcastle and it was absolutely phenomenal, loved the way it was set out with the different stories told. And my personal favourite was Carrie singing stars ⭐️. Also massive shoutout to the supporting act Trinity who were unreal! Their rendition of anthem is the best I’ve heard.
Also just a warning for anyone who has bought VIP tickets:
My mam hadn’t realised that the VIP tickets included a meet and greet tickets- as the email and tickets didn’t give any information about having to arrive early etc. apparently there was meant to be an additional email sent but there were a list of people who didn’t get sent it, including us! They were nice about it and we still got a signed poster, and I wasn’t too gutted as I didn’t know we were meant to meet her anyway until the interval when we got talking to another audience member! So just in case it happens to anyone else!! As I say- still had a class time. But I feel bad that my mam paid for it and we missed it- even though we weren’t to know. Totally ticketmaster’s fault- but never mind!
I also saw it in Newcastle! She was fantastic and I was so happy when she sang Heathers, Les Mis and Mean Girls!! My sister didn’t know any of the songs bc she doesn’t like musicals but I loved every song!! The supporting act was also really good!
absolutely loved it in newcastle last night, i was genuinely SOBBING as soon as i heard the chords for pretty funny and was a mess throughout hahaha - thank you so much for doing that song, it’s my favourite! ❤️
I am coming to see you tonight in Nottingham and I cannot wait - this looks like a truly magical experience! I also just found out I got my dream job today, so this will be extra special - what a way to celebrate. I'm crying from watching this, so know I will be a mess tonight. Thank you for letting us have a snapshot into songs and memories that are personal to you ❤ xx
I hope you enjoyed the show last night!
@Carrie Hope Fletcher it was honestly amazing! We ended up booking tickets for DeMontfort Hall so can't wait to see it again on Tuesday 🥹🥹 hearing you sing certain songs (don't want to ruin it for others) was a dream come true! Love the stories too - you are so funny xxx
Looks like your having a blast! Cannot wait to watch at the de montfort hall on tuesday!!
I am! See you on Tuesday and I hope you enjoy it!
I know this video is from a month ago, but I love your videos. All of your videos and vlogs are really cool for me to watch. I have been watching your UA-cam videos for a long time. I started when you were in the Addams Family! You are absolutely amazing and so freakin cool! I know I'll never get to meet you because I can never afford to travel and I'm in the US, but if I ever did get to, I'd be thrilled! I've watched everything I can on UA-cam that you've been in from Heather's to Addams Family and Les Mis! You are so real and down to earth and that's so awesome! I hope everything you do goes well and I'm just so happy to see you happy and healthy. I look forward to watching any other videos or vlogs you post! Hope you have a fantastic evening! ❤
i'm so glad you're vlogging this tour, can't wait to see more!! Especially the bits from Llandudno to Birmingham as i was following the tour for those shows (trying to complete song bingo as I went). I couldn't think of a better way to have spent my week off than watching you living you best life on those stages.
I'm giving it my best shot but it's so hard as we're moving so quickly! Thank you so much for coming to so many shows!
carrie your show was the best! most magical night of my life and i will treasure it forever, thank you so much.
ps, i will never be the same after hearing you sing i say no and on my own
Ahhh thank you so much! I'm so pleased you think so!
Fun fact. I worked with an Academy and Tony award winning author. In a film, the lead actress “rider” required a new set of silk bloomers with tag on every day. That was unusual!
carrie, honestly you’re an inspiration to me and so many. i watched you in london and it was so beautiful and emotional. i graduate next year and would love to perform beside you one day, sending all the love! 🤍🫶🏼✨
Thank you so much! Break a leg when you graduate and hope so see you on stage very soon!
Saw you in Manchester. The show was amazing! You should be really proud of yourself xx
It's always cool seeing you perform on your own, I'm always crossing my fingers for a tour in America someday 💓
Carrie I’m coming to see u twice when u do Panto in Crawley this year once with my mum in a matinee and another evening performance with my dad and I saw u at the Palladium and u were AMAZING!!!!!!
My wife and daughter went to the Sheffield show.
Both said it was fabulous.
They missed cinderella due to covid.
I saw you at the Palladium, I'd been waiting since October to see you as it was my 29th birthday present (libras represent!) And I had a joyous evening, my highlights were Treason, I Say No and Bubblewrap (particular bonus knowing your family were in when you told that story/song). It was worth the wait, such a clever and creative idea- I did a creative project at university that was based on a similar construct in that it was playing songs that had a particular music memory attached to it, so it was really quite moving and a wonderful birthday present! ❤❤
This show is so magical I came to Bradford and Salford and I’m so glad I got to see it and also meet some of my hopeful friends that I’d never met before at the shows! Thankyou so much for creating such a beautiful show 🤍
Yay I'm so pleased you enjoyed both shows!
Hi Carrie! 💕 I met you at stage door after Birmingham’s show the other week and I asked if you’re filming this tour. You replied saying no nothing professional, I meant for UA-cam - so whether we both missed what the other meant there, either way I was so happily surprised when I saw this video come out! Turns out you are filming it! So exciting! 😆💜
I'm so awed by what you've achieved Carrie, you should be so proud of youself. It just shows that you can be a nice and good person and still reach for the stars. You're awesome. Keep being awesome. And i just want you to know that I'm so happy to be on this journey with you.
Funny side note. I bought a copy of 'when the curtain falls' second hand, and as i opened it, i was so excited to see it was signed. Yes, it was for someone called Laura (I'm Lian) 😅 but you don't understand how excited i was 😂😂😂 what a happy surprise!
🎉🎉🎉 have a great time on your tour ❤
Still highly recommend coming to Australia next 😊😊😊
Your videos always bring such joy to my day! 😊 Thanks for sharing a little of what your tour is like. Being from a different country I can’t come and see any of your shows but just having a little behind the scenes vlog makes me feel like I can be a part of it too. Break a leg on all the venues still to come! Xoxo
Ahh thanks so much I really appreciate that!
Saw you guys amazing and had the best time😍🎶
Literally messaged Ben as soon as I saw it how much I love the set😍
Carrie I need you to come to the US (specifically ny!!) the show and the set look absolutely incredible, break all of the legs
Really enjoyed the show! Please can you record the set list as an album?!!
I am sooo gutted that I live in Germany and cannot come to your tour 😭 from everything that you share, it looks like a terrific night ❤ hope we get to see a few more bits and bobs here 🤞
Wish I can and saw you on tour in Norwich. But I hope you had a lovely tour x❤
My friend and I went to your Norwich show, and it was so brilliant!! I can't wait to see the other vlogs!
Carrie I'm so proud of you omg I've been watching you since 2018 ( also you are gorgeous)
I would love to see what the ear rings look like! Also to do a virtual window shop at your etsy storefront - as a US Hopeful I can't come to the tour, but some fun bookish earrings would be a fun way to support :)
Oh PLEASE come to the States!
Can't wait to see you in Glasgow, we have been lucky enough to meet you before 1st time was at Heathers, my son was 18 at the time and was speachless after meeting you. We also were in the queue behind you and Tom at the rockinroller coaster in Disney last year 🥰
You hide your camera so well during the m&g in Bradford! Can't believe I made it into the Vlog.
The show was incredible and I really hope that you get to perform it again or there is a recorded performance because I would love to hear it all again. Can't wait until after to find out what all the stories I didn't get to hear were and what songs were hidden within them.
Haha sneaky sneaky!
I'm also hoping ti gets recorded so we can do a little album or something! Crossing my fingers! Thanks so much for coming and I hope you enjoyed!
@@Carrie enjoyed it so much. Dying to see more
And we’re back‼️
Ps: that is a great view‼️
great vlog carrie
The show is amazing, everything from start to finish is just stunning! My fiancé and I saw you in Oxford, which was fantastic, and then we got to see you again at the Palladium which was just. Absolutely breathtaking energy from that audience and I definitely got teary 😅 You’ve got such a commanding stage presence that somehow feels like a cozy chat at the same time. Can’t wait to see more tour vlogs and can’t wait to continue politely but insistently asking the production company for an album or live recording 😂
(Also you may want to make and pin a comment with a flashing lights warning for the first tech run - 2:18 to 2:41 💜)
Thank you so much! I'm so pleased you enjoyed both shows and I think you got slightly different set lists? Maybe only by one song but I hope it was still a little bit new!
(Thank you!)
Ahh thank you so much! What a compliment! I'm so pleased you had a good night!
@@Carrie I think only one song was different but honestly it could’ve been the exact same show and I would’ve been happy to see it a dozen more times!
Your show looks magical! Are you still selling earrings? This earring enthusiast would so buy a pair! 💖
Came in Salford and it was amazing! I can honestly see this show getting a west end limited run and I would be there as much as possible! Good luck for the rest of the tour ❤
Awww maybe one day!
@@Carrie no problem at all! 💗
Have you ever considered taking the show to The States or going abroad? If so you should come to nyc!
Carrie, Congrats on you and Joel having gotten married!!!!
Coming too see it tonight so exited 🎉
I love the stage! Such a cool concept! The whole show is positively stunning. I’m so glad that people all over the UK, who don't necessarily get to see you in London shows are able to see all of your amazing talent. Do you find it more nerve wracking doing a show when you have your friends and family in? Also intrigued as to how it came about that Trinity would tour with you, they are great!
Isn't the stage amazing! The team did such an incredible job! And yes it's been so lovely to be able to travel to people as opposed to everyone having to come to London. Yes performing to 10 family members is way more nerve wracking than performing to 1000 strangers 😂
Thank you so much for this vlog, I really needed this ❤
What a wonderful vlog! I’m bummed I couldn’t get tickets to your tour but I absolutely intend to see you in Crown Jewels this summer! Bravo Carrie! ❤❤ ❤
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy Crown Jewels! I think it's gonna be a laugh!
The tour in Birmingham was so so cool and omg I want a signed poster so bad wish I had the money for VIP! Haha!
Ahh I'm so pleased you had a good night! Thank you so much for coming!
As someone watching from the US, anything you are capable of filming is welcome. Also, having a rider doesn't make you a diva. It makes you a touring musician.
I wasn't trying to imply that having a rider makes you a diva. I was just making the point that there's nothing I would ever need to put on a rider that I wouldn't just be able to get for myself and tour myself. I totally get why riders would be necessary for others in other areas but I'm cool with my lemon!
I loved this vlog! Always so cool to see behind the scenes ❤ I saw you in Southampton and oh wow it was a phenomenal. The songs, the staging, just everything i loved it! Also is your etsy still live? Id love to order some earrings to support you.💖
Some people need stuff in their riders for health and safety reasons, and I think I've heard that a lot of artists put stuff on their riders specifically to know that the venues are reading the riders for the health and safety of both themselves and other artists with more important needs.
Carrie! Have you got a specific perfume you’re wearing for the tour?
Saw the show last night in Southend and I was absolutely blown away by it. Just brilliant! Does anyone have a list of the songs as I didn’t’t know them all - obviously I know that there are different ones depending on the choices but if anyone has a list that would be great!
You were amazing in Newcastle last night ❤🎉
I can't wait to see you when you come to Glasgow!!
I totally resonate with the driving thing. But now I have my own car and all the nerves are gone (except when I'm abroad)
Yes love this .. can’t wait for the next one so happy that I have seen this show you were fantastic and thank you for being sooooo lovely when I met you in London I cried sooo much when you sang stars and the inevitable all the best with the rest of the tour xxx
Yay I'm so pleased you enjoyed the vlog and thank you for coming!
I saw the show last night it was incredible. Your voice, storytelling and absolute quit whit and reactions to audiences comments (still not over, ‘you’re not pretty… b****ocks’ 😂) were just great.
I know you have mentioned your nerves and fear over the show but it really doesn’t show on stage. Either your faking it until you make it really well or you are really truest thriving on stage. Nevertheless, the show is something special. You, Ben and the rest of the team have taken the idea of a tour and created a full on one women show with such a fitting and unique concept Xx
Hahah I have in-ears in during the show so I didn't quite catch what was said!
Ahh thank you so much I am definitely faking it until I hopefully make it 😂 So pleased you had a good time when you came to watch
Carrie you are just pure magic in a person 💜 its so cool to see a behind the scenes of how tours work and what goes into as this has eoakwd my curiosity for years!! Also .. can you drop yoir etsy shop link 📚👀💜
omg 😭 bro I would have come to see you if I knew you were in Bradford
Disney Dream comes to Southampton in July ... just thought youd like to know :)
"break a leg" :). Please, from where did you buy your dresses> They're gorgeous
Not me wanning to get you Ginger and Lemon when I see you in Leicester in 2 dayss... EXCITINGGG
