Why hello lovely people.
We are in Southampton.
I've just arrived.
I'm about 45 minutes early...
as always.
And the first thing that we do when we get to the theatre
is hunt for where the boxes are.
The tour boxes.
That's what I'm about to do.
Carrie: Where's my box?
Oh wait, there it is. Got it.

Good morning.
We are currently in Southampton.
It is our first week here.
We have 2 weeks here in total.
It is the first...
tour location where we have 2 weeks,
which is really quite nice.
And I'm now headed to the theatre.
I haven't really filmed much this week because
it's been busy, it's our first week back.
So it's been a little bit hectic.
But now...
the vlog begins.
Carrie: Can I get a hazelnut latte as well, please?
Cashier: To go or eat in?
Carrie: To go please.
Carrie: Welcome to the messiest dressing room...
in the Mayflower theatre.
Welcome, welcome.
I hope you enjoy your stay.
Oliver likes to steal...
everything from this room.
So I have started to, like, restock my fridge now.
With extra.
Because I know he steals it.
And I restocked it with Coke Zero yesterday,
but I've just opened my fridge,
and there's a whole new thing of Coke Zero.
So I'm wondering,
if he's actually got his own this time.
Which is actually quite funny because...
I went and got a restock today as well.
So now we've got all the Coca-Cola.
In fact, so much Coke,
that there's no room for anything else, really.
I'm essentially wearing my pyjamas.

Carrie: [laughs] It's so weird.

Carrie: Ollie's very very excited about this board game
[laughs] he's bought.
That he's forcing me and Dickon to play with him
between shows.
Oliver: Drooling slime.
Level 1 monster.
Carrie: Which is what, exactly?
Oliver: Yucky slime.
Plus 4 against elves.
Carrie: So tell me about this game, Oliver.
Oliver: It's hard to explain.
So basically, it's called Munchkin Deluxe.
Carrie: [laughs] His little face!
His little face!
Oliver: It's not based in Oz.
Carrie: It's not based in Oz but it's played by Oz.
Oliver: It's played by Oz.
You've got to go from Level 1 to Level 10
where the treasure is.
And you are- you can- it's hard to explain.
Carrie: [laughs]
Oliver: You can be a wizard, an elf...
And you basically go up the board
to get the treasure,
but along the way there are surprises.
And those surprises,
come in forms of monsters.
It's really cool.
All the cool people are playing it.
Carrie: Yeah.
Oliver. Like me.
Carrie: Right.
Oliver: And, uh... Carrie's playing it.
Obviously we're not sponsored by munchkins.
Or Munchkin, the game.
Carrie: [laughs] Oliver: Did I say munchkins?
Probably not.
Carrie: What!?
Oliver: Munchkins aren't real!
Carrie: [laughs]
Yeah, munchkins don't exist, honey!
Oliver: Didn't want to offend any munchkins out there. Carrie: Right.
You're getting awkward now.
Oliver: Yeah.
It is awkward! Carrie: [laughs]
Carrie: [to the tune of Oliver, Oliver] Scott-if-er, Scott-if-er.
Scott: [laughs] 2 show day!
Carrie: 2 show day!
Scott: Scott-if-er...
Both: Scott-if-er.
Never before has a boy wanted more.
Carrie: Ancestors galore.
Alright, Jay?
Jacob: Hey!
Carrie: This is Jacob, he plays our matador.
Jacob: Don't fall.
Carrie: Start falling down the stairs. Scott: [laughs]
Carrie: You excited about the 2 show day?
Jacob: I'm loving the two show day today.
Carrie: Thrilled. Thrilled. Jacob: Thrilled.
Carrie: I feel like I'm missing something.
Jacob: Upside down smiley face emoji.
Carrie: [laughs]
Carrie: Are you still talking about Munchkin?
Oliver: No. Woman: Yes.
Oliver: We're gonna flip the bottle.

Carrie: So first show is done,
and I just got changed quite quickly
because now,
straight after this performance
we have a meet and greet with
a community theatre group
- an am-dram group -
who are doing Guys and Dolls
as their next performance
Carrie: We good? Man: Yeah, we're good.
Carrie: Oh wow.
Woman: Oh my Lord.
Carrie: I'm gonna duck.
[groans]
Wow, that's a lot of people.
Man: Carrie, who plays Wednesday.
[clapping/cheering]
Girl: This is to both of you.
What's been the funniest blooper yet?
Carrie: I'm a little bit deadly with that crossbow.
Especially in the first few weeks.
I wasn't used to having it in my hands.
And at the beginning of act 2,
I've got a lot of props.
I've got a scarf, a necklace, a backpack,
a doll, an arrow, a crossbow.
And there was one day where I
just, sort of, lost control and hit-
Woman: Ollie straight in the face! Carrie: Ollie in the face.
[audience laughs] Just smacked him.
Because I was trying to get the scarf around his neck.
And I started panicking because
I was running out of music. Woman: And it's heavy!
Woman: Got him right in the mouth.
Carrie: So yeah, I got him straight in the teeth.
I was like "Oh, my!"
And then I did that thing where I was like:
"I've got to start singing!" but I'm looking at him
like I'm hoping I'm conveying the message
that I'm really sorry through my eyes. [audience laughs]
Man: The question is:
"What's the difference between coming from drama school
or going straight into the profession?"
So, not having training.
Carrie: I'll always say go to drama school
as someone who never went to drama school.
I always say go to drama school if you can because
the lessons that you learn are invaluable.
You know, the things that you can learn in drama school
are really hard to learn
if you haven't had that kind of training.
But then I've met people who
have been to drama school and said
the best training they ever had
was doing 8 shows a week
and there were things that they
could never have learned from drama school
without actually then doing it.
So you hear different things from different people,
but as someone who didn't go to drama school,
that's something I feel like
I really missed out on.
And, it's so hard
if you don't go to drama school
because at the end of drama school
there's a showcase that agents will come and see
and, you know, you get seen
by a lot of people in that showcase. Woman: It's hard to tackle that on your own.
Carrie: So, yeah, when you're on your own
it's really, really difficult.
You've got to find, sort of, a weird, convoluted path
and you may need to work for
you know, drama school is 3 years,
you might need to work for 6 years
or 9 years before you even get seen.
Oliver: First things first,
do you want to be a man
or a woman, Dickon?
Dickon: Wanna be a woman.
Oliver: Yeah? Dickon: Yeah.
Oliver: Carrie, which one do you want?
Carrie: I would like to be a woman.
Can I be the one I was yesterday please? Oliver: That one?
Carrie: Yeah, the purple one.
Oliver: I'm gonna go with green
because it clashes a bit.
Carrie: And now Lucas, Lurch and Wednesday
play Munchkin.
[monster rawr sound effect]
Carrie: Oliver Ormson?
Can you tell me who won
the game of Munchkin please?
Oliver: Dickon.
Dickon: I won!
Oliver: [cheers]
Oliver: Well done, man!
Carrie: Hang on a second.
The board speaks for itself, guys.
Dickon: That's fake news. Carrie: I'm the purple one.
Dickon: That board is fake news. Carrie: I'm the purple one!
Dickon: The board is fake news. Oliver: Boy, boy, and then there's you. The girl.
Carrie: [gasps] I hate you so much!
I'm proving that I was the boy. Dickon: Fake news.
Carrie: Because I had to change sex.
Dickon: Fake news! Carrie: Hang on.
Carrie: Look. Dickon: [sighs]
Carrie: Look at that card. I had to change sex.
That's why I'm a boy. Dickon: Fake news.
Oliver: [laughs] Dickon: I can't believe you would let your fans
think that you won, when you're obviously a big cheater.
Carrie: [gasps]
Dickon: Carrie Hope Fletcher- Oliver: You heard it here.
Dickon: did not win. Oliver: Exclusive.
Carrie: Guys, if you carry on you know
I'm never gonna play with you again
and I don't think anyone else in the cast
is gonna wanna play this game. Oliver: Alright!
Dickon: What do you mean?
Carrie: So, um- Dickon: We're the Munchkin group.
Carrie: So can you tell me
who actually won this game, please?
Oliver: We need to get ready, I think.
Carrie: Hang on a second!
Dickon: I need to get to make-up.
Carrie: Come on! Dickon: [laughs]
Carrie: Come on!
Oliver: Why is this so hard?
Dickon: It's really difficult.
Dickon: *quickly* Carrie Hope Fletcher won the game!
Oliver: I can't concentrate.
Carrie: I need Oliver Ormson to say it.
Oliver: Why do I need to say it!?
You won the- the thing.
Carrie: What was that?
Oliver: You won the- the- the thing.
Carrie: What was that?
Oliver: You won the thing-
Carrie: What's the thing?
Oliver: What we played. The thing. Dickon: [laughs]
Oliver: You won the game.
Carrie: Thank you very much.
Was that so hard?
Oliver: No, of course not. Dickon: Quite.
Carrie: [laughs]
Scott: [laughs]
