YOU'RE AT A MUSICAL! Of course they're going to sing. What do they expect? DUMB.
It wouldn't do much for the ending, but if they wanted social commentary, they should've made the Prince gay. Or maybe one of the sisters gay.
If you want to watch a musical about a (not really) revolution, then watch Les Mis.

Interesting how the most recent reviewer echoed everything I said (and was scorched for).
And Cats, you're most welcome for the song list. My pleasure.

Time and again, Whizzer has proven himself insightful, reliable, and amicable.
Time and again, you have proven yourself boorish and antagonisitic, with very questionable tastes.
The richest man may occasionally find himself sharing a sidewalk with the most destitute man, but it doesn't make the rich man poorer or the poor man richer.

Good to hear from Whizzer and growl. I always look forward to Whizzer's reviews. They are informative and I appreciate them. And I always look forward to growl's comments.
After Eight, the negativity in most of your remarks is off-putting although I always read your comments too. I'm sorry you feel the way you do.
Thanks again Whizzer - I admit to being a fan girl. :)

One woman left with her young child who was getting antsy during "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful."
And that's my favorite song...

Posted: 1/29/13 at 9:29amWhizzer, you bring up a good point that I was thinking about after I saw the show: I am an adult and a frequent theatre-goer and could not sit through much of the second act. I could just imagine how the very young children around me must have felt.

Posted: 1/29/13 at 9:34amHaving grown up with the Disney version, I would have loved for the Disney folks to have done a stage version of the movie, say at the New Amsterdam. As a child, I was very disappointed with the R&H version when it was done in 1957 and have never particularly cared for it ever since.

Wynbish, I love that song too. Along with "Ten Minutes Ago" it's my favorite in the score. Still, by the time they finally sing it you want to scream out, "Just get on with it!" Plus the arrangement ends on a weird Wildhornian power ballad note. I prefer the Julie Andrews version that ends with a quieter moment. It's more touching. Simpler is sometimes better.
little sally, It stands to reason that the creative team assumed this would be a family show and that many children under 12 would be attending. True, there's nothing inappropriate being said, but it is inappropriate to believe this whole Jean-Michel business would hold a young girl's interest when what she came to see was Cinderella.
The irony is, at the current prices the families who can afford to buy 4 orchestra seats are the wealthy who are being represented on stage as greedy and unfeeling.

thats an interesting remark WHIZZER... if it wasnt for the wealthy and the tourists this industry would be in big trouble and many jobs lost. something to remember to all those who bash them. thanks so much for the great review!

Posted: 1/29/13 at 10:14amWondering if anyone knows where the additional songs came from? Recognize a few, but am curious as to their origins. Trunk songs? Cut songs? Much appreciated

Posted: 1/29/13 at 10:26amI figured either they were going with an artistic/romantic theme or if they can't show everything in color until the official preview comes out.

What's in the box in that photo?
Interesting point about whether audience members are going to be insulted by the "tax cuts for the rich" theme. I wonder if that will hurt word of mouth.

"you can't run away forever...but there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start"

It looks like a present the company gave the man to commemorate getting engaged at the show.
By the way, here's a photo of the set apparently for the finale.

Posted: 1/29/13 at 10:42amI have a friend in the cast, we got to briefly talk last night and I can tell you that feedback has been noted and editing has been discussed. I haven't seen the show yet but I plan on closely after opening night.

#219CINDERELLA Previews Thread.
Posted: 1/29/13 at 10:43amThat is pretty much the palace set. Sometimes there's a throne, but this where Harada sings the lament, where Cinderella leaves the slipper, etc.

I wish I was WhizzerMarvinTrinaJasonMende, who gets too see EVERYTHING...the Playbill collection alone must be Eeeeenooooormmmmmmuuuuuussss!!!
But I digress.
Thanks for the informative review (your reviews always are), I'm going to have to sit this production out. I don't like the changes they made to it and at 3 hours I'd rather be doing much of anything else but see this.

Posted: 1/29/13 at 10:52amWhizzer should be a professional critic -- he makes a lot more sense that the sitting bunch of morons, always providing valid and comprehensible critiques.

Um they need word of mouth first.
