    I saw Carrie as Fantine. My mum, who's a long-time superfan of Les Miserables, didn't think that anyone could sing 'I dreamed a dream' better than the original. Carrie Hope Fletcher, I kid you not, your spectacular performance made my mum cry from happiness. And I didn't see you as Veronica, so seeing you live with such an iconic song was what I was most excited about the whole day :-) Thank you for being so awesome! And good luck for your next show!

    Carrie! I need to tell you immediately! 😱 You have inspired me so so much over the past few years, and now I've done it! 😭 I got into drama school! I'm making me dream come true, that has grown over the years by watching you - and in fact, meeting you (e.g. my Addams Family vlog!). Thanks for putting all this positivity out there, I know I wouldn't be where I am without you. And I'll be vlogging my entire drama school experience, in the hopes of inspiring someone too. xx 🎭✨

    I was lucky enough to come and see the show last night. It was weird seeing Carrie not playing Eponine, but she made a fantastic Fantine too! The show was amazing, and I think the music from the concert is actually better than the full production. I guess as they have to concentrate less on staging they can focus more on the music.
    Also Carrie was so lovely at stage door, such a privilege to meet you yesterday ❤️

    • @withflaws
      @withflaws Před 4 lety +1

      Tessi M there is less physical set and the staging is different to the full production. They’re all still in costume but most of the time they just sing in to microphones at the front of the stage although there are a few exceptions. There isn’t as much moving around either and the cast sit on the stage on tiered seated for most of the performance.
      Also the band is seating up above the stage in view of the audience which is interesting to watch too.

    So I just saw you in Les Mis the concert and HOLY GUACAMOLE I was a hot mess the entire time. You were phenomenal, the ensemble were phenomenal, the orchestra were phenomenal. I truly feel blessed to have seen this beautiful production based upon my favourite show. Thank you.

    Loved the “Follow me, Fantine!” You are a ray of sun, Carrie! ☀️ Wishing you all the best and please don’t be too harsh on yourself about “screwing up more %”, you are doing a wonderful job. 🌻✨
