From the things leaking out and from having worked with her, Carrie is definitely not the problem

Care to share what you claim to know? Because her general conduct on social media, arguments with fans, childish vague passive-aggressive comments about the composer, etc make her look really infantile to a lot of people.
Surely posting anonymously on an internet forum what is really going on would actually help CHF and her reputation. It might go towards explaining some of her strange behaviour and change people's perceptions of her

I’m quite sure that CHF is guilty of all of those things…she is a performer; but I’m absolutely certain from the years of reports of ALW’s temper, spats and foot stamping that he is the issue here. He wants everyone to think that it is fantastic and it simply isn’t. The worst thing is that with a bit of tweaking it could be.

It might go towards explaining some of her strange behaviour and change people's perceptions of her Sorry but I disagree that there is anything wrong with her conduct on social media. She's not tweeted anything not supported by other Cinderella cast members - both with regards to ALW and in requests for people to stop complaining when principal cast members aren't on (which is a term of booking your ticket in the first place). Her support of her alternate and understudies is very admirable, imho  |

Oh, I'm no defender of ALW's practices as a producer or the constant sensationalist drivel he spews in the media. I'm in no doubt he has done lots wrong, similar to what fiyerorocher above describes. I know exactly what happened with the infamous phone call and have heard what Andy can be like from colleagues, although I've never dealt with him personally.
I think there's a lot gone wrong that all parties probably regret. But you just can't win against the producer, simple as that. If she has serious allegations of actual misconduct to make, then make them. But it's all nothing but innuendo. Keep your head down, see out of your contract and leave and don't work for them again.
If there is something more serious (and there is no evidence there is) than a company simply not liking the big boss, then what can I say? Now's the time for action. Try getting on Kenwright, Cameron or David Ian's bad side, trust me it isn't fun.

These transfer rumours show that anything can happen if you have money and power/influence.

Not sure Carrie would want to go. She'd have to weigh up Broadway vs a less than stellar working environment. She'd jump at the chance to star on Broadway if she was given it I'm sure. I just don't think it'll happen. |

I just don't think it'll happen. Me neither. Why would ALW send Miss Carrie over when he has the pick of the crop on Broadway? Apart from that, given the troubles the show has had over here I’d imagine he wants to start with a brand new sheet of paper cast-wise. |

It does surprise me that ALW wants to risk Broadway considering he was pleading poverty only a few months ago.

From what I read, the Casting notice includes Cinderella, so it doesn't seem like CHF is part of the transfer.
I'm hoping that we might get a full orchestra here. The score has a lot of potential here, but some of those synthesized tracks do take away from it for me

It will be a flop here. Pure ego wanting to bring it to Broadway.

I do wonder if the people who's redesigned it have actually SEEN the show.
I mean it's an improvement on the spray paint balls but...

Looks like one of those adverts you see encouraging you to take the train to Derby

Now they just need to re-write the music and it may be worth seeing again…

The new artwork doesn´t reflect the show at all... It makes it even more misleading than it already was.

I still want to know who Gary Wilmot's character was in the workshop! Perhaps he tied the whole plot together...

Didn’t make the final cut to the show obviously The cast was Carrie Hope Fletcher as Cinderella, Tyrone Huntley as Sebastian, Gary Wilmot as Jean, Ruthie Henshall as Queen, Victoria Hamilton-Barritt as Stepmother, Sophie Isaacs as Adele, and Rebecca Trehearn as Marie. The ensemble included Lucy Anderson, Dan Buckley, Charlie Burn, Ronan Burns (Duke), Darragh Cowley, Daniel Crowder, Jonny Fines (Prince Charming), Ahmed Hamad, Danny Michaels, Jo Napthine, Oliver Ormson (Dorian), Jemma Revell, and Gabriella Williams. |

Who on earth is doing the artwork for this? I mean, yes it’s better than the spray paint balls, but really? A bit of photoshop cutting the people out (with bad lines) and sticking them on an Adobe background?
The whole show just doesn’t know what it is.
They need to start with a name change. The whole thing is misleading.
Change it to Bad Cinderella, sort the massive plot holes and the dodgy lyrics and it might get there.
