I wouldn't hold your breath, Phantom's been running for 35 years with a style of mask that was never worn in the show on the poster...

CHF probably wouldn’t have the career she has without SM. Indeed. Number of followers on Twitter: Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella - 5,543 Andrew Lloyd Webber - 215,300 Carrie Hope Fletcher - 495,600 |

I was just mooching about the Internet looking for goss about the show and blow me down if ALW hasn’t been up to his old tricks again. Turns out the chorus of Bad Cinderella and R&H’s In My Own Little Corner are veeeeeeeery similar. Naughty Andrew!

Turns out the chorus of Bad Cinderella and R&H’s In My Own Little Corner are veeeeeeeery similar. Naughty Andrew! It took you that long to realise? It's more of an intentional nod i'd say. I think that you can homage something but ALW has been so pretentious this entire time 'MY CINDERELLA,' as if it's something ground breaking, I think that is what irritates me more. You've R&H Cinderella and Soho Cinders (the latter is a little dated but still so much fun, didn't see the Charing Cross production but saw the same version at the Union) On that ITV musicals programme, he called Carrie, 'a girl.' She's a woman. It's creepy. STOP. Another thing that popped into my head...if the most they can do is costume Carrie as if she's reprising Wednesday Addams and by adding boots that makes her 'alternative' or a bad Cinderella...It's just not that inspiring, I would say that's pretty normal fashion? It's a hot mess, it's muddled...this whole BELLEVUE marketing gimmick now.... I wish this was a play - I could have seen a similar concept to Home I'm Darling actually, the whole 'perfect' life but then the cracks show. I GET what Emerald is saying in her soundbyte, I think she comes across eloquent but I wish ALW was out altogether. I AM FRUSTRATED AS IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE GOOD BUT ALAS. Ok, brb, having a drink. |

Number of followers on Twitter: Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella - 5,543 Andrew Lloyd Webber - 215,300 Carrie Hope Fletcher - 495,600 And yet employers seem to be blind to the amount of interactions CHF gets across SM. She may have half a million followers on Twitter but barely scraped 6 comments with her last tweet. Follower interaction across both platforms is poor. The numbers just don’t add up. You would expect a shed load more interactions from the amount of ‘fans’ /followers she has. Similar story over on Instagram although she receives more ‘likes’ over there it’s still not in proportion to the amount of followers. 🤔 |

I've come to the conclusion, based on everything I've seen and read, that this really isn't going to be for me. I normally keep an open mind about new hit shows, and avoid too much exposure to them so I am seeing a show fresh. It's certainly not a show I'd want to pay £100 for (mind you, there really aren't any of those, in fairness!).
I'm not really into shows about "issues", where the issue being discussed is the raison d'etre for the show. By this, I'm thinking of the likes of SiX, or Everybody's Talking about Jamie. If I see a show, I ideally don't want to see a musical theatre version of an angry social justice lecture, whether I support the point made or not. Shows like "Next to Normal" and "Rent" prove how to tastefully discuss themes, while keeping the experienced centred on the narrative.
This strikes me - and I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time - as a product which is being specifically tailored a particular audience. Wicked uses themes of sisterhood, individuality and feminism beautifully, and found what I suspect will be the same core fanbase as this show.
Lloyd Webber loves to feel like he is moving with the times, a particularly progressive white billionaire Lord. He has always been about pastiche, he approximates musical styles from the zeitgeist and then has them orchestrated beautifully for him. Often to brilliant effect.
This whole concept feels like pandering to me.
Also, not a fan of the cringey marketing campaign.
The guy with the buns (get it, buns?) in particular. Given the whole angle here seems to be "it's 2021, non-binary, veganism!" seems blatantly hypocritical to me.

The Hot Buns Guy sung version is back http://instagram.com/p/CNKNJQflhWx Nothing against the actor (you work with what you have) but cringing so hard at the content. The tongue emoji... The promise/threat we will get to see ‘much, much more of him’ - we’re back to Magic Mike Cinderella vibes again aren’t we 😂 A few people commenting not appropriate but I suspect those comments will probably be removed soon. |

I also find it offensive, as the buns presumably contain gluten which is massively prejudiced against those with coeliac disease. I once knew someone with coeliac disease and I am outraged on their behalf. Absolutely no consideration for the disabled.

And I'm looking forward very much to the female sommelier character singing about her huge rack. "Nice rack, I've got a huge rack!". Make it happen ALW.

So. Yeah. Not only does she not admit her own privilege, she can’t even be bothered to be creative. Tiresome. |

Not that I have any idea if that’s true or not but I don’t think it’s fair to spread a rumour like that without any solid evidence. Be kind. |

Posters on Tattle are really quite vicious, and posts about CHF over the last 10 days or so have been horrible. I’m not her biggest fan but the amount of vitriol she attracts is not nice.
