Had you booked for the evening performance on the 4th, iamamazing? I haven't been paying close attention but I see that, after opening night, Wednesdays are now matinee only right up until October half-term, with just six performances per week all through summer. |

Yep it was the evening on the 4th had no idea about this change thanks for letting me know. I though they might have changed my date because i thought it might have been be press night for the show. |

I assume the alternate is future-proofing as there are only 6 shows a week. I hope she gets a schedule though as I’d love to see 2 different interpretations. |

Poor Prince Charming is so irrelevant we don't even know who he is! Arthur or Gawain maybe? And do we think Gary Wilmot's 'Jean' has been replaced with The Godmother? It sounds like there's been quite a few changes from the workshop at any rate.
An ensemble of 20(ish) too, which should be good for dance numbers.
I wonder what happened to Helen George.

Carrie’s photo on there makes her look more like Elphaba than Cinderella!

Those pics are a right hotch-potch. Some of them seem to be themed round the character, while others aren’t. Carrie’s is ridiculous. Who signed that off?

Cinderell
a
The Stepmoth
er
The Godmoth
er
Everyone else is in the Ensembl

I don't know what you're looking at BurlyBeaR, they're clearly all themed.  Cinderella has anger issues relating to housework; the Queen's a lush; Sebastian models unconvential knitwear (what is that? A short sleeved polo neck?); the Godmother has just finished her level 3 Diploma in Hairdressing; the Stepsisters are practising for careers as Instagram influencers; and the Stepmother likes pointing at things. S'obvious. |

I think this is new as well? andrewlloydwebberscinderella.com/about/The StoryWelcome to Belleville! The most aggressively picturesque town in the history of the world, populated exclusively with gorgeous townsfolk who stop at nothing to achieve perfection. Belleville is fairy tale come to life: a place where you can’t move without falling over a wishing well or a quivering milkmaid. Maintaining this façade is a full time job, and one that is taken very seriously indeed.
The only person steadfastly refusing to live in the fairy tale is Cinderella, loud-mouthed, dripping with disdain, and more likely to roast Hansel and Gretel for dinner than play the demure and downtrodden maid, Cinderella is desperate to escape. But underneath it all, the loneliness that comes with being the town pariah is wearing on her.
It doesn’t help that her only friend, Prince Sebastian, has suddenly become the heir to the throne after the mysterious disappearance of his elder brother: sex god and charisma machine, Prince Charming. Suddenly thrust into the spotlight, the formerly shy and somewhat-less-sex-goddish Sebastian seems to be quickly growing into his brother’s enormous britches, and out of his friendship with Cinderella. But this change of circumstances also introduces something else to the relationship, a new spark which neither of them quite know what to do with. Could it be that these two old friends mean more to one another than they are willing to let on?
After a devastating PR disaster for Belleville, and with the threat of the guillotine glinting on the horizon, the Queen decides that the only thing to save the town (and her pretty neck) is a Royal Wedding: something colourful and distracting so the peasants don’t get too revolution-y.
All looks lost for the blossoming romance, until Cinderella meets The Godmother, who can fix any problem with a little incision and a couple of broken ribs. Maybe the answer lies where Cinderella has been refusing to look: in becoming the identikit beauty that everyone has always told her to be.

Good god I hope the costumes are better than what’s shown in these photos.
Shocking. The lack of styling here is .. something.

Much as I hate to admit it, this is the first thing I've seen/heard/read about this show that actually makes it sound intelligent and interesting. Maybe some thought really has gone into creating a strong, original narrative. I think this is new as well? andrewlloydwebberscinderella.com/about/The StoryWelcome to Belleville!

The whole page and lack of full bios/images feels like a half-done GCSE project.

S'obvious. They must have been waiting for those very rare and hard to come by hand mirrors to arrive when these two were taken. They’re all clearly in their own clothes. Cheap!  |

The summary of the plot is colloquial, the peasants become 'revolution-y'. I'm not looking down my nose more that it seems more in tune with a panto and missing depth. The summary seems to be full of holes but look it could be great.
At the moment to me it sounds like they've taken a trashy soap plot and are shoehorning in a few songs.
Also it's opening soon could they not have waited till the costumes were ready to do the promotional shots or maybe just do the headshots because those character shots are basic and reduce the characters to one dimensional.
Seems odd, maybe it's the pandemic screwing things up.

I'd have thought they'd have had the 'easy' bits like pictures (if they'd used normal headshots) and bios, because they're going to have to put the programme together soon. |

Cinderella looks like she didn't make the Quiddich team and is taking it out on her broom! Well, that or she wants to be Elphaba!
