I always describe it as a very monotone singing voice - it’s all the same tone with no emotion until she belts out a massive note which is going to damage her voice so badlyThe thing about Carrie is that she has a lovely sounding voice (sometimes strained but mostly lovely) but she doesn’t emote ever. She could be singing her shopping list. It’s empty. And it doesn’t look natural. She was the same in Addams and Heathers. I can’t really comment on her other roles as I didn’t see them.
Good lord, is the whole show that shitty and lifeless?
Not sure if anyone has posted this already
The hilarious angle of this it feels like Matilda does more as a role than Cinderella doesagain making it about herself
The revolve is a gimmick, plain and simple. The show would work fine without it and all that would happen is the first few rows didn't spin super super slowlyIn their defence, the revolve isn't too clear on that video, but it does play a part in the show and makes it visually more interesting to watch. I don't think it's vital to the show though...
I was originally talking about the onstage revolve and it’s use during Bad Cinderella (which seems to be rarely from the video) rather than the stage and seats one. Theatre board is mixed on the main revolves use- some say it’s just a gimmick, others say it really elevates the second half- sounds to me that it’s a gimmick that works. I’ve heard people say that you don’t have to be in the seats that move to get the magical experience. The people sat it the moving seats will have one experience and those that watch the seats move will have another. Tbh, that gimmick actually really makes me want to see it (the tech side of things really fascinated me).The revolve is a gimmick, plain and simple.

100% agree with this. She can sing but she's not a great actress so it never has a lot of substance. Even when she did try to emote in 'Dead Girl Walking' it was all about herself and making the song a take that to her haters. She wasn't thinking about what's driving Veronica in that moment, her thoughts, feelings or the lyrics themselves so it just ended up a shouty mess.The thing about Carrie is that she has a lovely sounding voice (sometimes strained but mostly lovely) but she doesn’t emote ever.

I fully hated how the kids behaved in Mary Poppins and had the same thought about Carrie just being Carrie when she played it as a kid.I actually saw Mary Poppins for the second time over the weekend and, while I know this is pure speculation and I am in no way saying this would be the case for every child who plays Jane I’m sure they’re all lovely kids in real life and grow into lovely adults, BUT given Carrie’s well documented almost obsession with 1) making everything about her 2) inserting herself into every single role she plays via telling Jamie to fight for her and Oliver to win her back before the show or during the interval when they are not their characters, seeing Jane’s character again, particularly how snappy, demanding and temperamental she is, you can literally see Carrie carrying some of this into her real life character which at the informative age of 10/12 I doubt would have then easily left her into adulthood, especially as her menthod of “acting” would literally have never been challenged since she was a kid because she never went through drama school. What I mean is that if she, as a child, thought “well Jane acts like this so *I* will now act like this” and called it actual acting, and then some of that bled into real life probably not helped by being the youngest by a good margin so probably being her parents golden child for a good while as Tom was 18 by then, no one could then correct her so we now get adult Carrie thinking that well if *I* feel super sexy right now because I have tone of teenage girls screaming when my top comes open well then my version of Veronica will come across sexy (she’s also even admitted she’s temperamental in real life) - I’m literally praying that someone else in this thread has seen Mary Poppins and can maybe back me up on this
