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

"wrote that whole post" ?  It was a one liner saying there was more to it that sent her off, but she didn't expand.  I guess you're accurate in that these three sentences I've written up to this point are also "that whole post" so far.

But you're making it much bigger than it is by that hyped phrasing.

Where you're not accurate is that her "online presence isn't exactly a producer's dream half of the time".  Please demonstrate that half of her social media output has been bad for the show.  It hasn't.  She's written fantastic things about her alternate, and the alternates she's played opposite, and posted videos about her make up, how the sound works for the show etc. etc.

I know we're in a post-truth world now, but there's no need to give in to inaccurate hyperbole just because it spices your life up at the expense of someone else.

So let's hear it - "half the time" her social media has been problematic.  Evidenced argument please.  Go.

If Tom Fletcher needs some character work for one of his Strictly dances and pops in to see sis at 'Cinderella' for his training VT people are going to combust.

It's outdoors.

What I was responding to was "I can undertand the sound/mic issues affecting the singing, but isnt the choreography inbedded already? Wouldnt she know where to stand and what move comes next automatically by now?" and pointing out the choreography would be different as they are not on the set. They won't have the staute of prince charming, that forms the centrepiece of that number normally so they have to do something that is slightly different to what they've been doing 8 shows a week.

I was always impressed that Alex Brightman and the NYC cast of 'School Of Rock' did a number of TV spots and had to change some lyrics due to mild swears, and shorten a song with a midway cut.  Must have been a bit nerve wracking that you'd revert to the original.  They always pulled it off, going by the videos I saw anyway at least (evidence based accuracy), there may have been others.  I also saw Brightman's vlog video of how early they started on one particular day, how they were the only musical guests, the rehearsal they did, how prepped they were.  This was a TV studio, not outdoors.  Even then, if his earpiece had gone wonky it could/would have gone wrong.

The other thing I got from Alex Brightman's vlogs was how important a duty he felt it was to be a company leader - setting up a coffee station for the cast in his dressing room and lots of quirky things.  I wonder if CHF saw this, or is just that type too, but I've been impressed by her taking that role.

She’s just posted and deleted some worrying stuff on her Instagram story about feeling bad and having anxiety etc. Hope she’s being looked after.

When filming tv there's generally not thousands of people watching you in the studio.


Is it not natural to be nervous? Does not mean they are any less professional for being so I don't think.

Hahaha amp09, that old one.

Almost as good as 'cry more' and 'who hurt you?', and other little tropes people fall into on social media.

I do genuinely hope she’s not being too hard on herself. While it didn’t do a very good job of selling the show, there are far bigger blunders out there. After all, we’re only a few weeks away from that Patti LaBelle video going viral again.

Which part are you saying 'yes' to here, inthenose?  We all know that autotune is a thing.

What do you mean by 'stopping the show'?

Cinderella:

A young woman is told the correct way to be by an 'oh so perfect' judgemental community, a bunch of preening men who stay on the sidelines while others go into battle, some sisters who should know better, and with cruel barbs thrown in now and again by a bitchy queen.

YAWN. Actors are told the correct way to be by directors every day, its what they have to do. Its their job.If an actor is offended by someone's judgement, be it a casting agent, critics, bloggers, general nobody on the internet, either don't read it or get out the business. The excuses being made for her are ridiculous. Send the Alternate Cinders along, let her get a chance to be known more.
