My apologies if this comes across as insensitive, but surely it cannot be healthy to depend on another person so much that when they take a trip away your behaviour and attitude takes such a dive?

Travelling Light Theatre Company created a musical version of Cinderella back in 2012 which has has multiple productions and toured during Christmas seasons across the country. It was also nominated for an Olivier Award and got a 4 star review in the Guardian.
It's a really fun, joyful, subversive show! Brilliant original music played entirely by an onstage band who double up as actors. Cinderella is reimagined to be tomboy-ish and feisty, she's kind but she's tough. Her costume includes a bowler hat, a oversized dark dress and...doc martens. The marketing image:
Her doc martens are a big part of the show/her character. So it strikes me as so weird when the ALW Cinderella are marketing their show as "Cinderella as you've NEVER seen her before", when a popular and respected show in Theatreland has done something similar (and probably better) very recently.

She can't let him have his moment can she, oliver posts a selfie with a Frozen poster in the background and she has to comment that she saw a poster for her shitty musical on the tube. Let the guy have his moment!! You narc
Maybe I’m overreacting, but this has really irritated me. It’s always irritated me seeing her and her family have free lavish gifted trips when they can afford to pay for their own trips whilst I have to work double nursing shifts to save for a holiday. I know I’m not alone having to work longer hours to fund holidays however this time around it’s irritated me more knowing so many people are struggling financially and have lost jobs due to the current circumstances yet she’ll still happily beg for a free trip whilst she appears to be facing no financial concerns whatsoever. I can imagine her being totally oblivious to how some people are struggling financially right now, I hope my point makes some sense
Maybe I’m just bitter as our Disney world trip was cancelled due to Covid and we spent two years saving and paying it off and now my boyfriend’s lost his job I don’t know when or if we’ll be able to take a holiday. I’m sure lots of people would love (and really deserve) a Disney vacation right now, especially a gifted one. Sorry for the rant!

Carrie strikes me as a girl who was never told No as a child.

All due respect, that isn't what this thread is for, and there are plenty of other places on the internet you can go to get further into this issue. This is a gossip forum
Anyone see on one of her journal insta lives someone commented there was too much traffic noise... she replied something like "il make sure the cars don't drive past next time 
'
I mean... isn't that comment the definition of constructive? We cant hear you so filming outside is pointless...
And instead of reacting to that feedback she's just sarcastic and "sassy".
Ugh

What about the time she auditioned for Cameron Mackintosh and he had tears in his eyes

is it really shutting down though? She didn’t report or try to close down the OP’s account or anything. The OP can still post about anything in their own account and spread any info as much as they want. Carrie doesn’t owe Carrie’s space to anyone? It’s when she sent her minions to report or bully other accounts like on twitter that I have a problem with.

She looks beautiful, come on there is zero reason to bring up her weight. Regardless of how bad her character is, she is a beautiful woman.
Yeah, noone is obliged to accept and respect your different opinions on their own social media accounts.
Block buttons exist for a reason.She didn't say it wasn't JK's creation. The key word in that sentence is 'just'. She was acknowledging that boycotting HP would have a much wider impact on other people's jobs.
If you go to the studio tour, you see just how much hard work and creativity went into those films far beyond the books. The amount of thought and detail that went into them is incredible. Acknowledging that hard work from other people and also acknowledging that you still like the series is really not the same thing as 'tearing down' her work.
Also, I get that you agree with JK's opinions but that doesn't put her beyond criticism, people are allowed to disagree with her without being accused of tearing her down. Carrie did so politely.

I did some amdram last year where I was getting home around 11/11.30 every night after the show except for one night where we had dinner after the show so I ended up getting home at 12.30/1ish. I was still able to get up between 8-9 in the mornings to do my day job and go to the gym. A lot of West End actors get up at a normal time because they have day jobs and lessons, and have a social life. I always thought that Carrie does come across as fairly lazy compared to her peers. Carrie has admitted before that she doesn’t like to do stuff on her days off either, because it’s her day off and that her friends and family understand that. She hasn’t had to work that hard to get where she is- a lot of it has been handed to her because of her connections. I read in an article about her that when her brother went to Sylvia Young, she gained agency representation from the school when she was ‘spotted’ with her mum picking up Tom from school. That happened when she was 5 years old! That kickstarted her work in commercials and led to her West End debut. Then her brother paid for her to go to a private school when she was ousted from her regular school. She left school after her GCSEs because she was writing a musical with her famous brother. I’m sensing a theme here... then she created her YouTube channel, where she initially gained followers through her brother and sister in law, dear Tom & Gi anyone? She published her first book through Gi’s publisher. She obviously has or had talent, she wouldn’t have gotten through the Les Mis auditions if she couldn’t sing. Credit where credits due, she obviously goes on a lot of auditions to get the jobs she does get, you have to to get continuous work- actors are turned down a lot (I have a friend who is an actor and the amount of auditions she does is ridiculous for the work she actually gets). When you compare Carries career to other people she has worked with, her peers work so much harder than she does to maintain it. When she talks about her experiences when she is with Oliver, I’m pretty sure Oliver is using all his strength not to slap her in the face and scream ‘Wake up!’ Ollie has worked incredibly hard to get where he is. It’s been really nice to hear him talking about his story in videos without Carrie, I find him quite inspiring actually. The 3 years of auditioning for Mormon, to getting the loan to get his braces off- such an incredible story to share of getting his first West End gig after all the training he went through. Before lockdown I found him a little creepy, but through the videos I’m liking him more and more. I really hope I get to see him in Frozen next year, he really is perfect for Hans!

It tells you everything you need to know about her integrity that she will accept a partnership with Warner Bros Studio Tour when she strongly disagrees with JK Rowling’s views. I also can’t believe she has the arrogance to separate Rowling, as the author and creator, from her own work. Whatever you think of Rowling, Harry Potter is hers and Carrie has no right to say otherwise. How would she like it if someone who disagreed with her then said that one of her substandard novels was ‘its own entity’ and therefore nothing to do with her? I doubt it would be OK then. Carrie is just hopping on the bandwagon of cancel culture while profiting from the author’s hard work.

I found it funny in that video where she said there isn’t anything she knows now that would help her younger self out...
She wrote a book titled “all I know now” about everything she’s learned. Yet she says she hasn’t learned anything that she’d do differently if she’d had the chance? Besides that, it’s a thought experiment, I don’t know why she got so angry? it’s not like anyone was going to send her back in time lol

Maybe Carrie designed it? Didn't she get an A* at GCSE?
does she, and people creating this show tbh, think a sulky doc martin wearing Cinderella is really different or edgy? theres nothing less edgy than someone trying to be edgy
It's like a child trying desperately hard for attention and to show how different and original they are...when in fact they're not doing anything different to many others

And whenever she's films herself buying something from a shop she sounds so overly nice that it just comes off fake and patronising (super high loud voice and over annunciation). I've worked in customer service for 5 years and you can tell straight away when someone is being insincere. It's very irritating.
