Yeah, Laurence Connor.

No, in person it very obviously looks more lavish than London.

Does the set still have that sculptural back wall it had in London? I thought it looked fantastic from pictures but haven't seen it in any pics from Broadway. 

How has the set been changed and improved for Broadway?

I think the back wall is the same design (but again, elevated) and with a lot of lights at times. Someone will need to correct me if my memory is right on that one, though. 
 

The top of act two is exactly the same, minus the audience revolve and Cinderella now enters from upstage. 

Yeah the show was ok. But the real disaster was the men’s room line during intermission. Each usher had a different idea of where the line was/started. It went all the way to the entrance to the theater 

Is there a gay storyline in this or is that in &.Juliet which I saw and loved?? I have my ticket for this in May. My sister who’s my traveling companion opted to see A Doll’s House instead. Lol 

Funny though, on a rewatch or listen, all the hints are there in the Hunks’ song.

This is the hardest question for me to answer. Linedy has a more “rebel” vibe to her whereas Carrie was more an “outcast” (at least that’s how I viewed them). If I were forced to choose which I prefer, I’d have to say Carrie. At least for now. I’m seeing this a couple more times before opening and excited to see how she evolves in the role - again, it’s first preview and I just know things are going to be changing. 

Nope.

The revolve is a unique feature of the Gillian Lynne Theatre. It was never suggested by anyone involved with the show that it would be recreated for Broadway.

FWIW, David Zippel is gay. But a 68-year-old gay man who was on this project from day 1 is probably not what this show needed.
