A thread for moments when Musical Theatre makers could have zigged but they zagged - with either delightful or disastrous consequences.
I'll start, with:
It could have been so different if.....ALW had (with BBC or ITV) created not only an audio-recorded musical '(Bad)Cinderella' as he did, but a made for TV musical, as a feel-good lockdown escapist treat for the nation. It would even have followed the path of Rodgers & Hammerstein's 'Cinderella' in being TV first. A lot of people would have loved him/it for that. Amateur stagings would have followed and a few professional ones for Christmas. A 'gift to the nation'* would have been remembered, rather than an acrimonious flop.
*okay, I've gone a bit OTT there, lol.
