I’d love to hear his score for this but didn’t some of the music he wrote for it end up in Love Never Dies?

Saw the show on Saturday night. The cast was completely free up there. The show was wonderful, They deserved so much better. Andrew Lloyd Webber should hold his head up high.

Funny you say this because The Imperial was the theatre that one of the security people outside the stage door at the final Broadway performance of Phantom said, with much certainty, that the show would be reopening.

Won the lottery for this show earlier this week, for the Thursday performance, $30 for front row of the mezzanine on the right. Was seated next to two other lotto winners, we had all accepted our lotto wins pretty much to see how much of a disaster it truly was before it closed.

I will say the show is both intentionally and unintentionally funny, it was at the very least an entertaining evening which is really all it set out to be. The constant reprises of the ballads in act two started to really grate on me.

I found it interesting how the Queen seemed to basically want to bang her son Prince Charming if the entire song about how well endowed he is was any indication. ALW getting real experimental with the characters there.

They’re really papering this week, so I went for what I’m assuming will be the final time, to see Savy Jackson’s Cinderella. Acting wise I feel she’s far and away better than Linedy but the singing was just…not very good. A good portion of the score she wasn’t on pitch at all, so I don’t know if that’s an issue she’s been having or if this was just a really awful day for her. 
 

The show is closing so a few members of the cast are kind of doing their own things now, as happens a lot when these shows close - some of these little changes work, some don’t and sadly it was mostly Grace changing things up I felt didn’t really work. I’ve said I don’t hate this show like so many people do (Don’t love it, either) but today was the first time I was just really disappointed in the show, as a whole. 
 

And to quote Molly Shannon when talking about that audience - “Don’t get me started. Don’t even get me started.” The ushers I think have just given up there. Cell phones, talking, loud chewing, kids walking around…it was like a MSG show. And I smelled barbecue. I KNOW I smelled barbecue somewhere in that building today.

@Jordan "And I smelled barbecue. I KNOW I smelled barbecue somewhere in that building today."

Was that a good or bad thing? BAD CINDERELLA On Broadway - Closing June 4

And are you sure it wasn't just the ushers incinerating the extra playbills in a bonfire?

As someone who is VERY protective of my Playbills (even the flop ones), the mental image of this hurts me in the very pit of my soul. (And yes, I'm aware it's a joke lol)

That show would be 10% better if they served bbq ribs at our seats.

OMG could you imagine? Some ribs, pulled pork, garlic bread, coleslaw, brisket and a Broadway show. 
 

Sweet Jesus, make this happen. I don’t care what show it is, either I just want some BBQ.

OKLAHOMA's corn bread and chili walked so this idea could run.

The less thematically appropriate, the better. Like, pulled pork sliders at A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC or a cookie-decorating station at ANGELS IN AMERICA. Build-your-own burritos at BRIGADOON.

Build your own taco bar onstage at Prima Facie and a chocolate fountain for the kids.  
c’mon Broadway, this is what we want.

I was at today’s matinee, and during curtain call, the ushers were walking down the aisles begging people to turn on their cameras to take pics/vids.

I was offered a free ticket last night.  Had a very busy weekend, didn’t want to be out late -- finally decided I would just see act 1 and probably leave unless the show changed my mind.  It did not but I’m still glad I went, and mainly wanted to post here to say Julio Rey was on for Prince Sebastian and “Only You, Lonely You” was fantastic!  I adored his vocals and was so glad I got to see him go on.

I don't think we should reject thematically appropriate choices in certain circumstances. For instance, had Chicken and Biscuits had the foresight to provide audience members with Chicken and Biscuits, it would still be running. The Thanksgiving Play...

Yeah, understand that things like that are dictated by the production. We just honor their request. To the producers, they consider it free PR. Other productions do not.

This is why I get mildly annoyed when people say things like ushers were allowing people to take pictures etc at a given point in a show or something to that effect. It’s not that we are lazy and not doing our jobs. If we’re told, for example, that a show is ok with people filming the curtain call or even encouraging it as is the case with Bad Cinderella. They were told to do so.

At Come from Away, for example, they didn’t want people filming the band playing after the curtain call. However, try as we might to have stopped it. The number of patrons all doing it always outnumbered the ushers who tried to stop it. That was a loosing battle every night.

Jordan, it sounds like you had the same experience as me the first time I saw it.  I first saw it on Kids night on Broadway, and the audience was terrible, and Savy Jackson sounded awful then too.  I was pretty shocked that she got cast.  Either she cant sing, or can't sing those songs.  I enjoyed it much more when i saw it again a few weeks ago right after they announced closing.  The cast seemed so free up there, and I enjoyed Linedy much more.

My wife and I have seen the show three times and plan to go to the final show as well. When we saw it in previews it was very weak. Say what you will but the music is wonderful. It's the only musical this season which has the type of songs that we remember and we play the British sound tract regularly as well as sing it in the car. I suggest people have another listen to the songs. It's too bad it is closing because we think some of the songs could have become classics,

Will Savy be on both performances or just one of them? I’ve never caught her and I want to see her before it closes.
