ALW's Bad Cinderella on Broadway - News & Discussion Thread — Page 5

Carrie Hope Fletcher: “I’m due to stay in the show until July 13th. That still feels like quite a long time away for me, so hopefully we won’t be affected by Covid again.”

Deuxmoi is now reporting Colleen Ballinger has been cast as one of the stepsisters.

Colleen’s casting in “Waitress” wasn’t stunt casting. It was “casting”.

Thats simply untrue. She has a huge online following for younger folks.

About time for another conversation of star v stunt casting me thinks.

Had ALW directly ripped off Disney’s Cinderella I’m sure there would be issues, but he doesn’t. As long as it’s inspired from Grimm Brothers Cinderella, there isn’t really an issue."

To be totally pedantic, it’s actually the Charles Perrault version of Cinderella that most modern adaptations adhere to. That’s the one with a Fairy Godmother and a glass slipper, rather than a dead mother in a tree and a gold slipper"

Yay! Somebody else who knows about the Perrault version!

Andrew LLoyd Webber's Bad Cinderella is indeed the title. First preview February 17, 2023, opening March 23, 2023. Tickets on sale now.

That press conference was cringe. I still have no idea who the actress is who is playing the title role and she stood there for 5 minutes.

Linedy Genao is Cinderella. She's amazing and I know she'll be great in this one.

I hope this show does better. I only wish Carrie and Victoria would come from London.

The press release also mentions new songs so I wonder what else they're changing.

Some of the melodies in this musical are absolutely beautiful. I like the melodies for "Bad Cinderella", "Only You, Lonely You", "I Know I Have a Heart", and "Marry for Love". But a lot ot the rest I don't really like. I feel like this tale needs some magic instead of plastic surgery! Like when Cinderella puts on the shoes she's "beautiful" and when she takes them off because they hurt so much by midnight she returns to normal. I dunno, it needs a new book, and I don't like the title change to Bad Cinderella simply because then it's not really Andrew Lloyd Webber's version of the fairy tale, now it's more of a new thing.

Also, does anyone have a link to exactly where Webber said he intended "Bad Cinderella" as a homage to "In My Own Little Corner"?
