Presley: "alcoholic ice cream..." Leslie: "NOT FOR YOU"

Leslie (sentimental and serious): "If you're out there and you're struggling, you're not alone" *two seconds later* Leslie (normal): "there's the 7-11 over there" that made me laugh v hard and I don't know why

my friend turned to me in choir during a game and started saying "that was possession. any ghost can do that in less than one lesson ." and than i said " any ghost?" and then she said "any ghost can do sure" and then i went " then Betelgeuse, what do i need you for?" and then we both went " "woah woah WOAH WOAH WOAH." and it was great.

DID ANYONE HEAR SOMEONE SAY “IS THAT MAJ DOWN THERE” AT THE WND HSBDKFCNDKFJKDNFJFJF HAHAHAHAHA

This episode made me cry. That’s all I have to say. Thank u for coming to my ted talk.

leslie really goes above and beyond for vlogs and it's really amazing

Can we see some more of Sophia I’m curious to know how she handles a social life as a teen and being on broadway

Give Leslie her own show forever. Thanks.

Legit love how she drove past my old elementary school and my house

*sudden realization that Otho was the freaking news reporter from the spongebob musical* OoO

Leslie: I know that now Me: IF I KNEW THEN *DUN DUN DUN* WHAT I KNOW NOW

Theatre has helped me so much. Sometimes I'll be at home and I would say "I want to go home". Everyone would say "We'll you are home". No place was more of a home to me then Theatre was. I was in a bad place before I started theatre. I hated myself and I had terrible friends but theatre basically brushed me off and said "you will be alright" and I am thankful for thay everyday. Thank you Leslie for being such an inspiration for people like me everyday.

I want Leslie as my therapist at this point

I'm sure someone already pointed it out but 3:00 "What IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII KNOW NOOOOOOOOOOOW!"

That one person who clicked dislike should be ashamed

Ok. Why do drama teachers do this? What I mean is, why do they let the kids cast the show? I’ve seen it multiple times. Kids auditioning for a specific role. How about this. You audition for the SHOW, and you get what you get. Oh, and what a beautiful, honest, and heartfelt vlog. Really wonderful.

this is the earliest I've ever been I clicked SO FAST edit: thank you so much for this episode, as a high school theatre kid it means a lot!

Presley is the cutest girl ever her voice is the best thing ever

This video is so important Leslie. The power theatre gives to young people is so immense. I don’t feel like me without theatre. A boy in my school got so teased about liking theatre, that he isn’t part of this world anymore. Theatre is my home, my safe haven. And I’m so happy Broadway.com allowed you to use your voice like this. ❤️

Seize the Day-O is by far my favorite broadway.com series

“I’m more of Anita, I know that now.” Me: WHAT I KNOW NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

No one: Steph: a s o c k

In one of these vlogs could you please do tips on gaining confidence? Bc I’m like the worst theatre kid ever. I love theatre but zero confidence to actually do it which is super sad 😂 love you!!

I SEE THE SHOW TOMORROW!!!!!! Leslie is the greatest!!!

I’m personally really excited for Songs for a Nether World

LESLIE!!! You are one of the best vloggers ever!!!! This is a really emotional episode and made my mom cry. Also thank you for mentioning “Songs for a New World.” That show changed my life and is so underrated

"everybodys parents getting divorced" i'm so proud that my parents are still married for 20 years now. But i recognized in my class that there are only 3 or 4 kids whos parents are still together. And thats really sad.

I'm not a kid anymore, but this vlog made me feel like one and brought be back to my teens. The BEST vlog you've done to date. Thank you, so much. *****hugs*****

i loved this episode, leslie. im in drama club in my middle school and i love it so much! Also, presley with her alcoholic ice cream made me laugh 😂😂😂

How could someone give you a thumbs down? I loved this segment-mixing honesty with fun and hope- Perfect! May favorite episode yet! Sincerely-Dean ❤

This whole episode is solid gold. Leslie showing her high school theater origin story, Presley's legendary cuteness... My heart! What else could we possibly ask for? ❤

There needs to be like a 100 episodes of this. I was able to see this show today, I LOVED it. If you have a chance to see a Broadway show go and see BeetleJuice. Leslie, thank you so much for sharing your life on camera!

This episode really made me fall in love with Leslie. I hardcore felt that bit about the theatre being home and a space she could be herself in. What a doll.

"Knitting in the Hallway" is my new favorite song, right next to "Krusty Krab Pizza" from Spongebob. HAHAHHA

as the weird kid who deeply wants to do theatre for a living but doesn’t know if their parents will support them/if they can do it at all, thank you. this means a whole heck of a lot to me and it’s truly touching.

thank you for speaking about this leslie 🥰

Two weeks ago I told my sister who just like me would love to be Lidia she’d be an amazing Delia She said “No I would.” This week we’ve been Practicing singing no reason from Beetlejuice

I wanna thank Leslie Kritzer for showing us all of this. My parents told me today that they don’t think I can do it. They told me that I was probably going to have to settle for an acting teacher. But this inspired me to keep going, thank you.

she makes me feel happy to be myself ♥️

Leslie really speaks the truth. I’m a dancer and a theater kid and whenever I’m at my studio I’m always smiling and having a great time.

I’m so early! Wow! To all the people reading this have a great Day-O!

Hey just wanna say beetle juice kinda prevented my sadness growing it made me happier knowing there a loads of others like me and we’re all using this amazing show and fandom to cure us , I love you all for that !! Xx

I love these Broadway.com episodes they make me so happy!!

She's from jersey? Ok Im officially a fan.

I love that you can film backstage I wish I could go watch the show in-person I would love to meet you all. Its all apart of life to be different and that is a good thing to be your self anyone who sees this knows what you were going threw because it happens to most people where they feel left out sometimes they just need to know that they are not alone

love the person at the end saying "is that Maj down there?"

Holy crap I'm not kidding when I saw this episode made me cry. As a high school theater kid it was really touching and Leslie is so sweet and inspirational.

I cried at the end. I love Leslie so much. She is such a queen

the most beloved vlogger on the youtube platform

I really really have been struggling recently with a lot but also with what I want to do in life and this helped me so much and showed me theatre is where I feel most myself and most alive and that it is what I want to pursue! Thank you leslie❤️

leslie liked my drawing i did on her and kerry responded to my dm and i was crying, i love you so much shbdjdbd 💚🖤💚💖💖💖

Watching this on my first full day on campus as a BFA Musical Theater Student. LESLIE I'M SOBBING for the BEST REASONS!! All joking aside, I truly am greatful for the message of this vlog. Theater has always been a place where I can be myself and I love it so much.

Yay Day 5!! I was so excited when I saw this!!! Drama was an escape for me. I cry watching so many broadways plays cuz i feel like i belong there but i know i cant do it. And im okay with that for the most part!! My health wont allow it and i have to accept it. But i love to dream. I have such amazing memories of the plays and the roles I had. Love you Leslie!!

OMG I cried with her. Leslie is the absolute best! Bringing my ten year old son to the show on Sept 7 and we cannot WAIT!!! Thank you Leslie. This was beautiful!

Once again leslie kritzer making my day better

Aw! This is so fun and so great to see her home town and everything.

Omg that's the sketch I did of cartoon Lydia hanging on Presley's dressing room. Geeked out a little lol Love you guys! Leslie is the perfect host for these vlogs!

i love leslie kritzer. what an icon

This was so inspirational and so great to watch. Theater is my home and theater is what I wanna do with my life, I’ve been doing theater since I was 5 and it’s been the best adventure of my life. It’s opens my heart to places it’s never been. I feel like I belong to the stage and the theater. Thank you so much for making this video. I wish that I could see beetlejuice again! I saw it in July, and I’m coming back to NY in 2 weeks for 2 days. That’s a show that I’ve always wanted to go backstage in😂 the sets and all of it must feel so incredible on the stage! If your a theater kid and you love the theater and want to do it forever and be on broadway, don’t ever let anyone stop you and push as hard as you can for it❤️

This is such a special video! Thank you for sharing all of this with the internet and Broadway . com

I've been loving these! Thanks Broadway.com! And Leslie.

My favorite episode so far! The arts is home for so many of us. Thank you for letting everyone know your story

This was really inspiring. Thank you for this episode. It meant a lot to me and probably a lot of other theatre kids out there

I saw the show on Sunday and it was absolutely incredible!!! You're so impactful and make me feel so including since I'm always acting out dramatic and out there characters that a lot of people shade. I appreciate everything that she's ever done, whether it's in Beetlejuice or another completely different musical. Thank you.

Thank you for this episode, Leslie. Thank you so so much and also thank you for existing. 💕

I needed this. its my freshmen year of high school theatre and ive realized how much theatre means to me. thank you Leslie!

I have never felt more seen than I did watching this. Thank you Leslie. Thank you Broadway.com! ❤️

This video truly spoke to me, seeing that you were once just a theatre kid in high school and lived in a normal house and went to a normal school and now you are on fucking Broadway??!! Spectacular. You’re drive? Amazing. Being motivational? Damn right you are!! I love you and all your work keep rocking it!!

This vlog has been on of my favourites ever. leslie does such an amazing job

I love this! It’s not often in these vlogs that the host will show their past. I really appreciated watching this.

Leslie you are one of a kind. You went above and beyond with this series. THANK YOU! Will miss you when this is over lol

Thank you so so so much for making this. I love to do theater and I am also struggling with life, and I completely relate to the fact that theater is my escape and how I feel safe and at home. This made me cry and it made me emotional, but I am so thankful you got real about it and expressed your feelings growing up. It gives me hope. Thank you.

I really appreciate the time and effort put into these, they are funny, candid, real. I did theater in High School and it was an amazing experience.

If I could like this video more than once, I would. This video is so important. Thank you ❤️

These vlogs are truly special.

I needed this video today. Thank you so much Leslie ❤️❤️ this was amazing

Leslie you are so incredibly inspiring. Theatre gives a sense of "home" to so many people that are struggling in real life. In a way, theatre is an alternate reality, if that makes sense? I love you so much and I'm so excited to see "Beetlejuice" and hopefully meet and talk with you on September 12th !!

this made me very emotional, thank you

This episode was so special ❤️ Thank you, Leslie!!!

This video meant so much! ♥️ Also that “Maj” comment at the very end of the video 😂

Please keep doing these, you’re such a lovely woman and we love you.

leslie's mom is puerto rican oh my God. Leslie is puerto rican i will cry

This “SNOB” is the show I saw during my last visit. Watching this makes it 10x more special!

I’ve been really enjoying these vlogs!! Leslie Kritzer is an absolute icon and makes me laugh so much!! I HAVE to see beetle juice on broadway ASAP 💜💚

I met you a while ago at stagedoor and you were probably the person I’ve ever met !! you were telling me how you used to be on my side of the gate and getting autographs from your favorite actors and how much you loved the community. it rlly touched and inspired me, and you became my favorite person on broadway :-) thank you for staying so genuine

I've seen a lot of vlog series on this channel through the years and I have to say, Leslie is one of the best hosts there's been. These vlogs are super varied in content, insightful, interesting, heartfelt and there's always something new and different in them, something unexpected. Leslie goes above and beyond what one could expect from a vlog, even taking time of her day to show us around or share stories like this one, making characters and sketches, inviting fans into them. It's very much appreciated the care she puts in the content she delivers. Anyway, thought I'd just add my humble bit of appreciation ♥

THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER UPLOAD Edit: Oh my god this episode was so beautiful. Thank you so so so so soooo much for showing us something so close to you, and the SNOB party was adorable.

So many emotions ! When my parents got divorced just like Leslie I found comfort in theatre and performing. Leslie sweetie your doing an amazing job with these vlongs xxxx

Such a sweet episode!

This is amazing. Loved the story about her mom. I feel like that could be memory she thinks back to when she performs 'What I Know Now'. Kind of bummed that they're only going to be 8 episodes. Leslie is such a gem

You are such an inspiration. I'm so happy you are doing these vlogs

Awwww when she started crying I just wanted to give her a virtual hug 💖

I was just talkin about being a theater kid to my mom today and I like how Seize the Day o has really brought back fond memories of when I used to be a theater kid and the fact that this episode touched on your fond memories of being a theater kid was amazing and seeing that theater kids even though different generation still have very much the same ritual. To see that you used to go to the diner after every show that's exactly what I did when I was a theater kid. I was doing that tradition of going to a diner of any sorts after a play when I was in Middle School all the way up into High School because when I got into college and was doing plays I was just going to somebody's house and drinking afterwards, and I kind of miss being a theater kid I kind of miss being in the theater because the theater was my home I constantly keep saying I am strange and unusual but the theater didn't make me feel strange and unusual it made me feel at home...ty so much.

Loved this episode :)) hit me in the heart

I love you a ton Leslie. Thank you so much for this.

this made me cry but it also made me happy. leslie i literally love you

Beetlejuice made me smile when my brother got into a car accident 💗💗

This is the best episode yet love you and love the theatre community I’m coming to the show tonight and am beyond excited

Ugh I was beetlejuice for the 2nd time this week. My fav show of all time!! So good

The first half of this video is one of the most touching, great moments in broadway.com vlogs!!
