It’s still not on Apple Music! It was delayed until January 20th/January 23rd. And yet it’s seemingly available to buy in hmv right now

No official outlets have reported on this. I want to be wrong but are we sure this is real??

As the waltzer wasn’t in the OV staging I wonder if that means they’re just changing things back to the pre-Broadway staging. Tim specifically mentions getting rid of the 5 revolves so no this will be different to the original Old Vic run.

Tim Minchin has confirmed that they are having to make some changes to the material due to getting rid of the 5 revolves. It’s a shame we’re losing that staging as it was incredibly impressive. Sad but had a feeling that was coming.. may I ask where we can hear/read the comments.. He did an Instagram Q&A which is still visible on his stories. It’s the second question he answered. Sounds like they don’t want to change too much as it was so well received but the change of staging is going to mean there will be some small changes required. Also interesting to note that he puts it down to not having as big a budget as last time that they can’t do the same staging.

Neither page loads anymore. Hopefully this is them just trying to keep it a secret and not it being a mistake and not being released this week.

It still seems kinda bonkers that this is actually happening. The talk of a Wicked movie has been going on for what feels like forever. And yet here we are. Somewhere right now they are shooting the film.

Ariana just followed Michele Yeoh. Yeah Jon Chu has also shared multiple posts about Michelle being Time Magazines icon of the year

Finally!! Would love to see this production again. Hopefully they’ve retained the majority of the cast from Chichester

I find it bizarre that for the last several days many theatre “influencers” and profiles have been showing off their cakes and dressing gowns. Teasing the announcement. And now the announcements out they’re all denouncing the show as controversial, problematic and damaging. Anything for clicks, thats how the machine works. Free swag is not provided under condition that effusive praise be returned. It's provided to get people talking about the show, which they are. Check the bloggers thread in General chat. Yes but they have the choice over wether or not they show off the free stuff. If they feel so strongly about the negative aspects this show might have then why even mention it at all. I’ve just taken a look at one theatre twitter account where they showed pictures of the cake and picture of themselves in the dressing gown. In total there’s about 6 tweets from them teasing this announcement. And yet the announcement comes and they call the show inappropriate and damaging. Yet I can scroll down and see them happily wearing the dressing gown emblazoned with the shows logo.

It's a cake to promote the show, not bribery. Ah, I see. Cakes in the shape of dressing gowns. I thought it meant actual dressing gowns. Sorry. No it was cakes and dressing gowns. Some sort of creamy cake where they are encouraged to press their face into it and also a dressing gown with the shows logo on it.

Are all the meringues being sent out a hint? Seem to remember something about a pie in the face in the film. That and they’ve also been sent dressing gowns with Mrs Doubtfire written on them

I wonder why Cynthia didn't do the camera test in the green paint herself I’d imagine if they are trying out loads of different types of green makeup then it makes sense for someone else to do it rather than pulling Cynthia out of rehearsals. Test out loads of different options on someone else and then do the final tests on Cynthia.

That makes me think they might have filmed Loud and then decided to cut it out later rather than it being the plan from the start to not use it.

Well I think it looks like Glasgow. Someone on Twitter had spotted that Olly Murs has released his upcoming tour dates and there’s a show in Liverpool right around the time that the arena would need to be free to prepare for Eurovision. However it’s possible that those tour dates could get moved around.
There’s also someone else claiming that it’s leaked that it’s Liverpool. So looks like we won’t definitely know for sure until the One Show.

Is it true they're going to have a 24 piece orchestra? If this is true then that’s a win at least. Because one thing I really did not like about the London production was the synth style orchestration where everything sounded like it was played on a keyboard. However the rewrite for the song is dreadful.

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 Ohhh I missed that one!

Carrie Hope Fletcher is already liking tweets being snarky about the show so safe to say she was never going over. 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.

Have to say that I really enjoyed it. Some genuinely funny moments that made me laugh out loud. I actually thought it was a much funnier film than the first though the first is still the better movie. The Sanderson sisters were great and it had felt like nothing had changed in the 30 years since they last played those roles. And I thought the rest of the supporting cast did a solid job.

I listened all the way through today. It's disappointing. It feels flat to me.
I know they have some known names on this recording, but i'm not sure why they recorded it at all.
Oh I thought it was a gorgeous recording! The original recording sounds like it was done in a tunnel. I was lucky enough to see this cast on Broadway back in July and I’m so glad that they’ve done this recording.

It feels like when they cast musical movies we always want the parts to go to musical theatre actors but instead we always get lumped with James Corden and other Hollywood actors trying to sing. And now we have 3 parts so far that have all gone to people with theatre experience and genuinely great singing voices and now we’re complaining that the film doesn’t have enough recognisable names to sell tickets.
Ariana is a huge name and will absolutely draw a lot of her fans in to watch this movie. Cynthia and Jonathan don’t have that same level of following but both are recognisable faces within the industry. And Jonathan is in one of the biggest tv shows in the world right now so a lot of people will recognise his face when they start putting out trailers.
At the end of the day I don’t think any of us really need to be sat here worrying about ticket sales. I just want a good movie (or 2) out of it and if it flops at the box office then it’s really none of my concern. West Side Story bombed at the box office but it was still a great movie that I can continue to love despite that.

Seems like the cast found out via BroadwayWorld and not from the producers. Not quite. Seems the crew found out from Broadwayworld but the cast were informed.
