I forgot about that. I’m surprised some of the lyrics are being revised and “so not naive” is still in.

...Anyone actually see this last night?

You're one week early. 

I’m still wondering if we’ll get a new opening number, more ballads, a song for Carolee Carmello? Will they reinstate that sea snake song? So many possibilities.

I was mostly joking but good to know all the same. Now I can’t stop picturing the Tin Man belting it out.

Not feeling most of this new song. Some of it I like though

Does Linedy have scheduled nights off? I know she has an alternate, so I'm wondering who's on when, if it's arbitrary, or set. I'd like to see both ladies at some point.

Did somebody say her name?

The new musical Bad Cinderella begins previews tomorrow night (February 17) at the Imperial Theatre, prior to a March 23 official opening. Leading the company of the West End import are Linedy Genao, Jordan Dobson, Carolee Carmello, Grace McLean, Sami Gayle, Morgan Higgins, and Christina Acosta Robinson. Bad Cinderella features music by the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by David Zippel, and a book by Emerald Fennell. JoAnn M. Hunter choreographs, and Laurence Connor directs.

“In the exceptionally beautiful kingdom of Belleville, the fields are idyllic, the prince is charming, and the townsfolk are ravishing. Only one stubborn peasant stands in the way of absolute perfection: Cinderella. To the flawless residents and royals of Belleville, this damsel IS the distress.”

Who’s heading to the ball? (If you are, best give your reports by midnight!)

How are advanced sales looking for this?

Not good.

Around $2 million - which is two weeks 

How does the Flash Sale work ?  I got the email but no promo code 

For my fellow board members who are scenic design nerds like myself, it looks like a show curtain has been added for Broadway (the West End production just had the village set onstage for the pre show). There are pictures on instagram for those who are curious. It’s very whimsical - I like it!

I must say that the curtain is beautiful! There are definitely some similarities to the London set just from seeing that picture.
