ALW's Cinderella - Gillian Lynne / U.K. Tour (rumour)

And just so happens that on Michael Jackson's album cover of that name, 'BAD' was spray canned, so that's a nice reference.  I still think it's too risky if they take it to Broadway; then again the song title is there to use as a 'diss' of the show, so probably no escaping it.  Maybe they don't want to accidentally cause a rise in sales of Jim Davidson's 'Sinderella' DVD, lol.

The performance and the chat with Ruthie have both vanished from the show’s instagram too.

CHF kind of hints there was more going on than just dodgy sound.

steve10086 On her instagram stories there was a post about how one day she’d write a book about “the many events” leading up to it so people would know where her head was at.

Or words to that effect. Can’t check as it’s also been deleted…

I can't wait. I bet it will be: Carrie: A Influencer's Tale. A huge, roller coaster of a novel in four hundred sizzling chapters. A searing indictment of the entertainment industry in the twenty-first century, with some hot gypsies thrown in.

No, there was a post after that which she’s since deleted.

Professional performer admits she can't perform professionally?

I've seen the other post mentioned.  I guess if you're heading to an event that you already know is your weak spot, any mishap, criticism, disappointment or faux pas (by whoever) is going to throw you off even more.  A combo of those - even worse. 

Some performers must live in fear of an Idina Menzel moment at these kinds of events, and the makeshift outdoor nature of them

* Professional performer holds their hands up and admits to messing up when frankly she could have stayed quiet and most people would not have even realised.

These things happen. She’s probably just kicking herself particularly as it’s the first public performance of a song from Cinderella in full costume and choreo I believe.

I'm guessing the people suggesting that Carrie did the wrong thing calling out of yesterday's shows after WEL don't have issues with anxiety, and for that I'm glad for you.

Now, I obviously don't know if this was the case for Carrie, but for myself I could absolutely see that if I had just done WEL and it had gone badly to the point where it messed with my head, that could easily have triggered an anxiety attack with no guarantee I would be able to get back from that in time to pull myself together to perform. In that situation, calling out so that the audience who have paid for the shows get the standard of performance they deserve is absolutely the professional thing to do. You wouldn't be making the same comments if her voice had gone and she physically couldn't sing it, would you - mental illness is no different!

Having just watched the audience video that's still up, she did a decent job of saving it. Yes, she was in the wrong key in the bridge but the music cuts out and gives you nothing there, and she made the right choice to cut off the big note before the last chorus kicked back in, so it didn't clash - and then found the right key for the last chorus, even if you can see the terror in her eyes. I've heard a lot worse at WEL and other concert events before.

She gave a bad performance. She needs to own it not make excuses.

No need for drama. No need for fishing for sympathy.

Admit it was a bad day at the office and move on.

Yes it has shown her and the show in a bad light. But she has to be professional enough to move on. Her online behaviour isn't helping that. For her or for the show.

She owned it.  She said it was a bad day at the office.  As for 'fishing for 'sympathy' and 'has to be professional' that seems based on your view of her more generally; just as mine is, but faces the other way.  I don't know her, I've never seen her perform, I'm not a fan - other than of the way she has warmly supported her alternates, and those she's played opposite.  The recent zoom chat by the original Evita company painted a very different picture of a leading lady's haughty paranoia at 'alternates' - I was staggered by how directly they talked about it, and how they were shocked and hurt by it all these years later.  I think CHF is shouldering headlining the show, and leading the company, very well.

Why don't you enjoy yourself by going to Twitter and checking out all the comments on CHF's performance.  'Astonishing'  'knocks it out of the park' tend to be the nightly reactions, and to the wider show too.  I haven't seen it, so don't know.

In this post you are wilfully misunderstanding what she said.  Her point is that in the controlled environment of the Theatre - knowing the acoustic, the foldback arrangements, the air flow and acoustics - she is confident she can deliver her BEST, and believes that's what the audience deserve night after night.

I think some posts on this thread are now just gratuitously abusive of this performer.  It goes beyond commentary and fair opinion, when words are gleefully twisted to discredit her.
