What up, players?
Hello, everyone, my name is Mariah Rose Faith.
I play Regina in the "Mean Girls" tour,
and this is my show.
So thank you for stopping by.
I'll try to be not super chaotic,
but it's probably gonna be a little bit chaotic.
'Cause I like to live my life that way,
just a little bit on the edge.
Just a slight dance with chaos, you know what I mean?
In this vlog, this is my first day.
It's Saturday night, I just got my camera, like,
five minutes ago, so we're just gonna take it easy.
Just gonna show you, like, what I go through in a night
and you might see some cast members.
You might see some costumes, and just, you know,
like, the little things, but we can't reveal everything
in the first episode, we can't use every comedic bit.
Like, we gotta space it out, so I hope
that you bear with me and watch every episode
so you can be surprised and be shocked
and be filled with joy. (laughs)
Great, I have to do my makeup, they already called places.
- Places.
- Hey, can you say hi to Broadway.com?
- Hey, Broadway.com.
- That's David. (laughs)
(Mary Kate singing scales)
Hey, can you do that again for Broadway.com?
(sings scale)

(Mariah stammers)
- Anyway, it's places.
I don't wanna distract anybody else, but, you know.
This is me doing my makeup.
Except I'm in costume right now, so I should put on my robe.
So then I don't get anything on my white shirt.
That's something I wear at the beginning of act two.
It's really great and really comfy
and it makes me feel like the show is done
and I'm in my pajamas, which is not true.
Anyway, we already did a show today,
so I'm just gonna kinda touch up,
just a little powder here and there.
We don't wear too much makeup, because we're high schoolers
and that wouldn't look too right.
I mean, I don't know, you guys are,
some of you guys are high schoolers,
so let me know if people go full face at school,
but I never did when I was in high school.
So welcome to my makeup tutorial.
This is the trick, you go like this.
"She's crazy, we literally don't know
what she's doing right now.
Oh my god, she's rubbing lipstick on her cheek."
I told you this was gonna be so chaotic.
It really is.
Yeah, and then it looks really strong, so then,
what I do is I take this again and I just,
and I look like a normal person.
A normal Regina.
And then I put the lipstick on my lips.
Mmhmm.
And now I'm ready for a show.
Except I'm not wearing blonde hair right now,
which no one would recognize me if I went out like this.
It wouldn't be as schematic.
So I'm gonna wait for Tina to talk over the loudspeaker
and that's my cue to go get my wig on.
I'm late, 'cause I had to pee again. (sighs)
(vocalizes)
And just like that, she blonde.
Jonalyn's not naked, she's never naked.
(Jonalyn laughs)
Hello! - Hello!
- I exercise.
- We warm up.
We warm up.
How we feeling today?
- So good.
- [Mariah] Who are you?
- Megan.
Well, this is where we go to the stage.
Not until where you belong.
- Wow. (overlapping chatter)
Everyone's like, "Where are those three girls?"
And we're like, "Don't worry everybody, we're coming."
- We're gonna earn our keep.
- And my mic is hanging out of my shirt,
oh my god, I'm a mess and a disaster.
I'm gonna put this camera away.
♪ And with Candy ♪
Okay.
It was really fun to be in this costume
for the first time in front of my parents.
Obviously it's smexy.
(vocalizes)
I just tweeted out,
"Hurry, ask me questions for Broadway.com."
You have five minutes,
because it's five minutes until places.
This is also a segment called teatime with Mariah.
This is my you can't sit with us mug
that my friend Seth gave me.
"What's the best and worst part about being on tour?"
The best part is already going to these cities that
I've never been to before and meeting these amazing people.
The worst part is just being away from my friends and family
and my home, but otherwise, like, tour is incredible.
Hmm.
"What's the weirdest regular part of your day?"
Doing this.
I think this is, like, the most surreal thing of knowing,
like, this is my job, which is OK, whatever.
"What do you do on show days, like, your schedule usually?"
I try to rest a lot.
Lately, and what I've been noticing about myself,
is I get a little bit of FOMO, feeling of missing out.
And I really wanna be best friends with everybody in my cast
but I haven't had a lot of opportunities to do so yet
and I wanna go adventure in these new places,
but truly, like, I need to rest a lot.
And I think that's why I've been feeling so great
on this tour and I haven't been stressed,
and even when I've been sick I've still felt strong
in my performance and I think that's because
I've been just really taking care of myself.
So as soon as I feel like I'm really comfortable
in everything, then I'm sure I will be able to be
with everybody more and go explore more and work out more
but right now I've just been really trying
to take care of myself and rest a lot.
Answer one more.
"Any advice for teens wanting to pursue theater?"
Do it.
Honestly, do it.
I feel like I'm kind of,
I think, how do I phrase this?
There is no reason why you should not pursue
the things that bring you joy or excite you.
And if you find out it's not your thing
then it's not your thing, you know?
Or you find out, like, "Maybe I'm better at this"
then that's just how it goes.
But especially being a teen you should do
whatever excites you, as long as it's legal and morally OK.
This has been tea time with Mariah.
I haven't even sipped it yet 'cause it's too hot,
but the show's about to start back up again.
And we're gonna be at it.
- Hi, Broadway.com!
- Hello, the show is done, I'm taking out my pin curls
that I didn't do very good at all.
And you might be thinking, "Mariah, we didn't get to see
a lot of what happens at Mean Girls on tour,
we didn't see hardly any people," and that's because
it was episode one and you can't get everything all at once.
So you're gonna get it all, I promise you.
You are going to meet everybody,
because I have a secret crush on everybody.
This is my reveal to everyone right now.
But yeah, show was great.
We have two more tomorrow.
I did, in "World Burn" almost completely drop
all of my papers very, very early on in the show,
not in the show, in the song, which would have been bad.
So I did kinda fall just to save them,
but your girl didn't miss a beat,
I'm telling you that right now, I kept going.
Anyway, thank you for tuning in.
See you next episode.
It's gonna be crazy.
I promise it's going to be nuts.
You might cry, so bring your tissues, ladies.
Bobby pin fell.
Signing off.
