Eponine in Les Mis is a huge deal, but that role has been around for years now. Carrie is originating the role of Wednesday in the UK and that is SUCH a big deal. This is a new show, meaning there's more press and I can already see Carrie being even more successful than she already is because of this.
can we stop to appreciate how AMAZING of an actress carrie is? and how into character she's gotten? i remember watching this performance on the west end video channel and it was SO different when she just had to sing and wasn't acting as Wednesday, too- she's infused the character's mannerisms, facial expressions, inflection EVERYTHING so much into this preformance that i've gotten goosebumps, wow.
Lyrics for anyone who wants them😊 I don't have a sunny disposition. I'm not known for being too amused. My demeanor's locked in one position. See my face? I'm enthused. Suddenly, however, I've been puzzled. Bunny rabbits make me want to cry. All my inhibitions have been muzzled, And I think I know why. I'm being pulled in a new direction, But I think I like it. I think I like it. I'm being pulled in a new direction. Through my painful pursuit, Somehow birdies took root. All the things I detested impossibly cute. God! What do I do? Mother always said be kind to strangers, But she doesn't know what they destroy. I can feel the clear and present dangers, When she learns that the boy... Has got me pulled in a new direction, But I think I like it. I think I like it. I'm being pulled in a new direction, But this feeling, I know is impossible, So I'll confide that I've tried but I can't let it go. It's disgustingly true! Pulled, pulled, pulled! Puppy dogs with droopy faces, Unicorns with dancing mice, Sunrise in wide open spaces, DisneyWorld - I'll go there twice! Butterflies and picnic lunches, Bunches of chrysanthamums, Lollipops and pillow fights and christmas eve, Sugar plums! String quartets and pirouettes, And afternoon banana splits, Angels watching as I sleep, And Liberace's Greatest Hits! Have got me pulled in a new direction! If they keep insisting, I'll stop resisting. Just watch me pulled in a new direction. I should stay in the dark, Not obey every spark, But the boy has a bite, Better far than his bark! And you bet I'll bite too, Do what's truly taboo, As I'm pulled in a new direction!
1:55 she got so into it she nearly knocked the mic offstage😂 She is beyond incredible. She embodies Wednesday perfectly, facial expressions , movements and all. The way she can sing that so perfectly anytime and with so much power is beyond amazing, hope I can sing like her one day!
It's amazing to see how she's got more confident in the role and she's truly awesome! I'm going to see her on the tour in Bristol in September and I simply can not wait! I'm probably going to cry seeing her on stage especially if she sings like this as I'm tearing up just watching the video! She's come so far over the years. Thank you for uploading this! 💖
Of course, you're welcome! It's amazing to have seen her grow, I've been watching her channel and following Carrie's career for quite some time now and I feel so proud of her. I cried too during this performance, haha! Enjoy the show in September! :) x
Carrie mentioned in her liveshow with Scott a few weeks ago that there was a lyric change, i guess chia pets are an american reference and this is a uk tour so they had to make it more relevant
i lost my shit even before they said her name because i knew it was her i was literally jumping and squealing in my seat because im a theater nerd whos fufcking so excited for the addams family musical im going to go see it and see her and im so glad somebody recorded this im screechign
I had the same reaction, I just cut it off until where the song started because you can hear me like half crying, half hyperventilating, screaming loudly and going 'oh my god' repeatedly! ;) x
oh my gosh h honestly same i was mcfreaking losing it, she was absolutely INCREDIBLE, thank you so much for recording and uploading it to youtube for it to be enjoyed!
the thing i love about carrie is that no matter wat song shes singing, she puts herself 100% into it, u can see it in her eyes and her face. i love her
Gosh, it's already such a good song with good lyrics, but Carrie really does top it off. I loved what the original Krysta Rodriguez did with it, but something about watching Carrie's journey with Pulled and with Wednesday just makes it better.
Seeing the first show on Thursday. Does anybody know when this was, it's almost as if she's been directed in this performance, it's so well choreographed??
That's so exciting! Have fun seeing the show! She was in the middle of rehearsals for the tour when she performed this, so I'd say she's just performing as if it was one of the rehearsals. xx
I loved how she did the "disneyland I'll go there twice" bit haha, thank you for recording this, I only recorded the start of it then put my camera away, because I wanted to give her my full attention:) But it's really nice to be able to watch it back! :D
Aahh I must have been sitting so close to you! Thank you so much for this amazing recording!! VidCon was amazing, I love watching all of the videos I can find from it. ✨ 💕
Wait, okay, so I just watched your highlights video, turns out we actually talked! Hah! I think it was just before the Saturday Creator Show? Hmm.. 🤔 I was very sleep deprived, so I could be wrong, but I feel like we talked about Carrie and that she retweeted you or one of your friends and you showed it to me? Or something? 😂
We did talk!! We went to get my icecream together haha! So nice of you to leave a comment, since I don't think I managed to follow you on Twitter after all! I was so sad cuz I really loved talking to you. What's your Twitter handle?! xxx
omg i actually love her so much, everything about her interpretation of this is so perfect. Also can we just talk about how she literally walks off stage as if she didn't just slay the shit out of that song, she almost looks embarrassed and i just cant
This was truly beautiful, I'm a big fan of Carrie's and love this song. Can't wait to hopefully see her in the Adams family. She's already an amazing Wednesday just through the way she sings this song so I can tell it's gonna be brilliant
I love how focused and in character she is then right at the end its back to Carrie-mode "thanks guys!". Her voice... just every time you hear it, its like she's getting stronger. I implore that she MUST be Elphaba in the next 5 years.
Holy shit! When I first saw her sing this 2 years ago I didn't think she could get any better... but she has...how?! I'm beyond excited to see The Addams Family in Cardiff
Thank you for this video. I feel this is the best version of this song that I've heard Carrie, or anyone sing. I love how she acts while she's singing, she's amazing! I love her voice, you're so lucky you got to hear her sing live.
I have watched lots of performances of this song online over the last year or so, a few recently by Carrie. But for some reason, this one made me cry? Like, I just felt an overwhelming sense of pride and adoration for her in this role. One of my favourite actresses playing one of my favourite characters, and so brilliantly, was just so powerful. Was not expecting tears when I started this video haha!
WEDNESDAY I don't have a sunny disposition. I'm not known for being too amused. My demeanor's locked in one position. See my face? I'm enthused. Suddenly, however, I've been puzzled.

Pulled Mother always said be kind to strangers, But she doesn't know what they destroy. I can feel the clear and present dangers, When she learns that the boy... Has got me pulled in a new direction, But I think I like it. PUGSLEY That was good! That was good! WEDNESDAY I think I like it. PUGSLEY Do it again! Do it again! WEDNESDAY I'm being pulled in a new direction, But this feeling, I know is impossible, So I'll confide that I've tried but I can't let it go. It's disgustingly true! Pulled, pulled, pulled!

I went to see the show yesterday and was blown away! Carrie was brilliant! Cameron Blakely is HILARIOUS! Samantha Womack is the embodiment of Morticia! Oliver Ormson is so cute and awkward as Lucas! The ensemble was brilliant Les Dennis is just...brilliant! Loved his Uncle Fester. Truly, the whole cast from Grandma, to Pugsley to Lurch (Lurch was one of the biggest highlights from the show for sure! XD) were wonderful! this show is so funny I can't even begin to explain how phenominal this cast is go see it, it's playing until the 4th of November so DON'T MISS IT!
Can not wait to see Addams Family in Edinburgh on the 27th ☺ I love how you see the development in her character of Wednesday between the last video of signing this and now. In love with this version ❤
I have no idea why but this kind of singing makes me tear up ?? Like not in a sad way but more in a "holy shit WOW" way , I don't know ?? She sounds incredibly good ??
