Did anybody noticed that the first preview date is one day before Phantom closes? Obviously that's why ALW pushed so hard to get Cinderella open over there - so that he keeps having an "uninterrupted period of having at least one show playing on Broadway". |

Classy. Shame she can't support the new Cinderella, whatever her personal experience was. She hasn’t done anything unsupportive of the Broadway production. I believe the only things she has liked are things to do with her own experience and the London production. There is nothing in her likes over the past few weeks that mentions Cinderella and certainly nothing that shows she isn’t supportive of the Broadway Cinderella. Not sure liking this gleeful tweet is helping. If you look at the rest of Dazzles thread is a blast on ALW |

Yes that's the tweet I was referring to anyway. Liking a tweet suggesting the show will be eaten alive is just a bit classless IMO, whatever her feelings are on her own experience. I doubt she'd have taken the tweet well had she been chosen for Broadway.

Re: All That Dazzles (or Bad All That Dazzles as he’s now changed it to) Isn’t he the guy that goes on about how he doesn’t like posting anything negative?
And why should Carrie be supportive of a Broadway transfer when it’s no secret the show was a nightmare to work on?

He could be right. But also, sometimes things just find their audience. It's possible. I cannot for the life of me understand why 'Six' has gotten anywhere past student productions and Fringe, but a lot of people love it. This could end up doing a lot better than London.
Listening again to that song - there seems to be some weird accent stuff going on there. I assumed it was the performer's own accent creeping in, but having seen her video at the announcement it doesn't look like it. Huh. Not sure what's up there.

The colour scheme is better than London's but I'm amazed they kept the scrotum (which now forms the 'A' in 'BAD'). |

The NY press won't be as kind or as stupid as the UK's press and will relish the name. They won't even have to think of a negative or bitchy comment.

Surely at this point it's all just an exercise in writing off some tax, levelling out the books.

Whilst I think Hex is a show that is completely beyond repair, and would have to be a completely start from scratch job to get anything above 2 stars ever from me, I actually think there's a decent show in Cinderella. I'm sure ALW will be too stubborn to change too much of it and it will remain largely the same, I think it does actually have potential if it got a few better songs and a tidy up of the book.

Looking at the new title logo, the spray painted dress now makes sense at least.
Not a huge fan of the rewrite of the title song though, of all the complaints I read, I never saw “The lyrics need dumbing down” to be one of them.

Pretty strong rumours that Andy has secured the Imperial for his next crack at making Cinders “happen”. boom |

Haven’t we all been suggesting it should've been called Bad Cinderella since day 1? Exactly. Early in the Cinderella thread people were saying it should be called Bad Cinderella to distinguish it from the traditional fairy tale and not because it actually was bad. |

86 “regular” performances is my guess. Any higher?

Any dumber and they’ll just be grunting at each other on stage… I guess they listened to comments on the mental health slurs and removed them which is a start. The last lot sounded like they’d been written with a rhyming dictionary. |

[quote author=" marob" And why should Carrie be supportive of a Broadway transfer when it’s no secret the show was a nightmare to work on?[/quote] Her beef from all her past shady vague posting/likes apparently seems to be with ALW and production. Why support unemployment on everyone involved now? Either come out with a statement, sue him for an ALW memorial swimming pool like Lupone or just for sanity sake walk away and leave it as an unfortunate chapter in the past. Getting into Twitter passive aggressive liking and retweeting only serves to make one look unprofessional, bitter and jealous. |

I've never managed to warm to Carrie as a performer but I'll give her an award if we get the ALW Memorial Swimming Pool 2.0

Re: All That Dazzles (or Bad All That Dazzles as he’s now changed it to) Isn’t he the guy that goes on about how he doesn’t like posting anything negative? Think ole Dazzles must read here His unswerving, unerring belief that the cast were treated so badly and that is his reason for all his unprecedented negativity is quite something. It’s pretty safe to say none of us know what really happened, him included. While he might be clued in by one of the cast I’m sure he doesn’t have a hot line to production or Andy. From the glimpse we did have from the cast it’s clear few came out smelling of roses. |

I don't mean to be rude (I do), but every time All That Dazzles pops up in my Twitter feed it seems to be weeping and teeth gnashing that he's not written a 5* review for something. Or possibly complaining that someone didn't care for him. For someone so very sensitive you'd think he might be a little kinder than to so gleefully predict/hope a show fails just because he doesn't care for ALW. He might not be wrong about ALW, but there's a whole new cast there who probably just want to be excited to see what they can bring to it. Why not cheer them on a bit even if you secretly hope ALW gets headlice or something.

g about ALW, but there's a whole new cast there who probably just want to be excited to see what they can bring to it. Why not cheer them on a bit even if you secretly hope ALW gets headlice or something. There's also the good old wisdom of "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all." I'm not a fan of these attention-seeking blogging airbags to begin with, but this kind of pettiness only shows them in an immature silly light and doesn't do them any favours to be taken seriously. For me this just reinforced that I have zero respect for them. |

There is surely no way that this can be ready if new songs are being added and there are changes being made, right? Surely it means it's just been rushed?
Saying that, I said after seeing it in London: there is a good show in there somewhere.
