yeah for contrast, she’s currently performing at a theatre with 1300 (roughly) seats and struggling to fill out half the audience. that’s in a show that has a story backing with a recognisable character name (everyone knows the story of cinderella), andrew lloyd webbers name on it and plenty of posters everywhere (i was in central london the other day and they were all over buses, and random advertising boards). i don’t seeing this show being a sell out at this point in time but maybe she’s got a big ass role coming before then which is why they are advertising so early, she’s already lined up her next role for when she finishes cinderella and she knows it’s going to make her more popular (or she thinks) and wants the loyal hatefuls to be able to get there tickets before the newcomers canI’m really sceptical about how well Carrie is gonna fill out the London Palladium. I’ve been there a few times and it’s massive, it’s where they film the Britain’s Got Talent audience auditions. Surprised she didn’t go for somewhere more intimate, where she can pretty much guarantee ticket sales, like the Cadogan or the Actor’s Church (where she’s done all her book tours).
Either she or her agents have ideas way above her station because while Carrie is popular amongst the Hatefuls, they’ll never fill up the Palladium.
When I heard the title, I thought it was going to be a book tour for the tell-all book she keeps mentioning wanting to write when she reaches 30She looks really nice in the promo—her hair looks lovely like that. And now that I’ve said my nice thing… ‘An open book’ is hilarious as a title because what else could she possibly share that she hasn’t already sharedI suppose it’s nice to hear her sing but what is she going to talk about and who is going to be interested in that??
You’re right!From the WOS article
"I absolutely adore being on stage and am fortunate to have performed across the West End and overseas, but there's something very special about theatres around the UK so I can't wait to get out on the road and visit these absolutely fantastic and beautiful venues."
The tour is set to open on 18 May at Bradford's St George's Hall, before visiting Southampton's Mayflower Theatre (21 May), Norwich Theatre Royal (22 May), The London Palladium (25 May), Llandudno's Venue Cymru (27 May), The Lowry in Salford (28 May), Birmingham Symphony Hall (29 May), Sheffield City Hall (31 May), Nottingham Royal Concert Hall (2 June), Newcastle O2 City Hall (3 June) and Edinburgh Festival Theatre (4 June).
Bradford - not a theatre
Birmingham - not a theatre
Sheffield - not a theatre
Nottingham - not a theatre
Newcastle - not a theatre

(note - I'm not saying these venues aren't fantastic and beautiful (in their own way) but they ain't theatres like she's gushing about.
This is her ‘in your face break up with Andrew Lloyd Webber tour’ because she isn’t going to Broadway...Guess she's not going to Broadway then?
Masked singer 2023Maybe she's somehow scored a big TV show that's going to make her a household name in the next year but which is yet to be announced, who knows.
A lot of actors are introverts- Carrie doesn’t seem to realise this. Because of this actors are usually very good at observing and creating characters. As a singer myself I have done a lot of musical theatre because I love telling a story when I sing. I love most types of music but I’m usually drawn to musicals and country music because of the story telling aspect.She is CONSTANTLY going to be harping on with ‘I HATE being on stage without being able to hide behind a character’ - we GET it, you’re HUMBLE
Oh god. What would Carrie’s equivalent of Sasha Fierce be?A lot of actors are introverts- Carrie doesn’t seem to realise this.

Carrie, this isn’t the unique personality quirk you are making it out to be- it makes you like most performers. Even Beyoncé has an alter ego on stage!
Sunny Shine.Oh god. What would Carrie’s equivalent of Sasha Fierce be?
I’m thinking some sort of ‘sexy, sultry librarian’ vibe. Like ‘Cherry Pages’ or something.Sunny Shine.
But I thought she couldn’t perform as herself??I’ll be giving this a miss!

We have an update!
it would be different if she had 1 show at the palladium instead of all these big venues.I’m really sceptical about how well Carrie is gonna fill out the London Palladium.

Hi fellow Norwich person - my thoughts exactly! And that theatre really feels it when it's half empty.oh god she’s coming to my city. i’m booked off work the week she’s appearing so i could technically go .
it would be different if she had 1 show at the palladium instead of all these big venues.
for instance i’m from norwich and she’s booked for the theatre royal which is 1300 seats. i would think the playhouse which is 300 seats and has a more laid back and cosy feel would be more appropriate for a one women show like carries.
whoever’s booked these shows either hasn’t done their research on the venues and the audience in that area. or as mentioned they’ve seriously miscalculated
