Oh that upper class privileged anger is ALIVE!
I can’t wait to see it.... even with those pneumatic chorus boys!

‘Promising Young Woman’ is really good. If ‘Ciinderella’ is half as well scripted it will be fine.

It annoys me because I actually like the concept of what Emerald has talked about. I just wish it wasn't Cinderella. I've always been intrigued by her involvement and ^ I really want to watch Promising Young Woman - especially for Carey Mulligan whose one of my fave actresses.

Hot buns man has made a return on the official Cinderella account. He’s not singing now though. The accompanying strapline is still cringe though http://instagram.com/p/CNGBV9DFTFt |

I am guessing if the Belleville Barmaid had been praised for her jugs then that might get a very different reaction

We're not supposed to recognise him or anything are we? It just seems a bizarre post...
Ok, it's nearly Easter, there are some hot cross buns and he's a baker. Yay?!

I managed to hear the song when it was posted and the concept more than anything reminded me of The Baker's Wife's Bread, which is actually by far my least favourite song from a score I really like.

Now Hot Buns Guy Has been identified as Andy Rees I have vague recollections of his rippling muscles in the opening band scene of School of Rock (adult band obv!)
Taking into account Emerald’s description of Belleville (a name so literal🙄 obviously has to be hammered home for us Muggles) as being a place of ‘perfection’, I’m now fully expecting the opening scene to start off like ‘Belle’ in BATB and end in full Magic Mike mode.
Perhaps this is the ‘twist’
Maybe this is the reason they’ve held the casting announcement...
Incoming Channing Tatum

I actually quite like the idea of getting to see some of the characters, and their costumes etc.
If they'd put up something like "It's nearly Easter and Belleville's baker (played by Andy Rees) has been busy baking hot cross buns for the whole town to enjoy!", and then next week did something like "Belleville's florist (name) is enjoying the warm weather and has been cutting Spring flowers to make beautiful bouquets for all the residents. <flowers emoji>" with pictures of them in costume I'd have liked it, especially if they came with snippets of singing or dancing too.
Talking about his hot buns is a bit hen party-esque.

It smacks of that ITV Loose Women mentality where they’d have topless blokes coming on with birthday cakes and Denise Welch or Jane McDonald shouting “Ey look at this girls!” at the audience.
Crass.
The marketing for this show has been generally very poor. It seems to be generating more negativity than positivity.

I find it strange & sexist that this sort of thing, objectifying men, is still considered acceptable by the some of the same people, including the media, who consider objectifying women to no longer be considered acceptable. To have secxual equality surely it has to be acceptable to either objectify both sexes or (preferably) neither. |

The marketing is for this show is so odd I actually want to see it just to see how everything hangs together.
Starting to wonder if that's the idea!

I still cannot fathom why they haven’t improved the show artwork for this yet? It looks like it’s been created by a child in the Paint software. Aesthetics are important for me, and I can’t believe they’ve looked at that for over a year and still not thought “Damn, we need to change that.”
