Getting flashbacks. 13 year old curly-headed insecure me watching 20 year old curly headed Carrie in Les Mis sing her heart out and achieve her dreams, inspiring little me to do what I love and never give up on myself. You were a big part of me growing up and knowing my own worth. Now 19 year old still curly-headed me is watching the still-curly headed you grow into the amazing woman you've become. We've really grown up together haven't we? <3

This is actually the most fascinating thing ever, to hear all the behind the scenes tricks and tips you got given. I absolutely adore that information about the “I love hims” at the end, as an actor I love putting a really clear reason behind every sentence I sing and meaning every word. I never knew about everyone having to sing each one differently, that’s so interesting to hear different interpretations of that bit!

It would be really interesting to listen to a conversation between you and Shan about the old and new Eponine!

My reaction to every Les Mis performance you’ve ever done was frankly just a lot of this ‘🥺😭💔’

Me, a 20 year old, seeing you playing Eponine at 20, and also women like Renee Rapp and Rachel Zegler, just makes me feel so behind (ik I shouldn't), oh God

fun fact, every seven years your cells duplicate completely, so that was technically a whole different person!

Petition to have Carrie react to Illegal Heathers

Omg that last note terrifies me when I’m doing karaoke, I can’t imagine having to place it right every night in the Westend 😂

I loved Carrie as Eponine so much, to me she is Eponine, I still vividly remember watching Les Mis in 2015, I wish I could go back to that day and experience it again .xx

I'm 21, trying to be an actress in musicals, and I sing half as well as you when you were 20. You technique back then are goals for me now

Me: just turned 20

"Dramatic turn...there it is" 😂

Carrie talking about her dreams coming true motivates me to actually start caring about my schooling. I’m going into year 11 and just have started an epic decline of not caring about my education and I lack so much motivation. But the fact that you could actually achieve your dreams and that’s kinda the kick up the arse I needed to start caring or else I won’t achieve my dreams.

I would love to see a series of this with bootlegs of yourself reacting especially things from

the fact that you CARRIE HOPE DAMN FLETCHER Hate listening to yourself is insanely comforting, because also hate listening to myself sing and it doesn't feel like that means i actually am legit bad

This is by far my favourite video you’ve created Carrie! The first time I saw you on stage was 7 years ago playing Eponine and I knew you were someone to watch out for. Eponine was the first character I truly understood and connected with in all aspects, so much so I have some of her lyrics tattooed on me, which remind me daily of our fight. Thank you for this and bringing the beautiful memories I have of you as Eponine in my mind. Xx

It honestly inspires me how she doesn't like looking at herself, because while I completely understand that feeling, I love all her performances. This means that maybe, just maybe, I am also too critical of myself and have an extremely perfectionistic view on myself that no one else has.

Aw, I loved hearing all your little 'behind the scenes' stories or the tiny movements/ moments you remember from just that one song. I wish you could do some more of these!

I remember when I was on 2013 tumblr and people were SO excited you got the role! I didn't know who you were but I was ALSO excited! I went to london that summer and saw the Les Mis marquee and all I thought about was "oh that girl is it in now, i'm so happy for her!". I learned who you were soon after and became a dedicated fan! I was 17 then and now I'm 25! WOO

I started crying at about minute 10, because look, me and Carrie, both looking at her young self perform as Eponine. It's come full circle. This is where I met her, and now we're both looking into the past, and she's so grown up, and I am literally "an adult" when I was such a smol bean in high school starting to realise I wanted to do musical theatre. And so many things have changed. But look, I'm here. I haven't always been, I stopped watching youtube itself on and off, but hey, I am here and I was here before and Carrie is grown up and so am I and so are so many people who watch her.
