This may have been commented on before - but CD release casting (as listed by Amazon Germany) has Sarah Brightman on the first track (prologue I guess), Adam Lambert on a few tracks later in the story, Helen George throughout, and Todrick Hall on the final track (which I imagine is a bonus redo of a main song). Would you be able to post the link for this tracklisting?

Just search Cinderella Lloyd Webber on Amazon and it is all there thank you. I wonder if this is the full cast for the show on this soundtrack. Or just people to be used on the soundtrack?

Looks like party cast recording and partly bonus tracks. I can't for the life of me imagine that Adam Lambert will be doing this show when he can be doing stadium tours with Queen.

When Laura Baldwin wasn’t in the cast for the rescheduled Alexandra Palace Sunset Boulevard, I had my suspicions that she was going to be in Cinderella (due to timings and social media activity)

I know what you mean, and it would be surprising, but I just wonder... Track 30 out of 39 seem like it should be main show rather than a bonus track — otherwise that would mean a quarter of the tracks aren't actually the show. He sings in 30, 31, 32 and 35 which seems quite a lot for somebody not doing it! Presuming Far Too Late is a Cinders solo, that narrows down its place in the show quite considerably — 6 (too early?), 26 or 34 I think. 6 or 26 if 30 onwards are bonus tracks.

No idea why people moaning about this guy’s voice. He’s got a lovely soft and clean tone, with appropriate power. And I assume - since they could have had anyone and cast him - that he’s the man for the role! Thin voice, bad phrasing, bad breathing, odd liasons (taking the consonant over to the next vowel, stressing the wrong words, bad modern vocal placing “atchooooo”, higher doesn’t mean louder, pitchy, scoops to notes, uncertain on entry notes, falls off others ........ These are just some of the reason I don’t like the guys sweet voice. It’s 7/10 and knowing the talent in this country many male singers are 9 or 10/10. Gorgeous song - average voice.

In fairness to him, he was auditioning as a dancer. I think ALW is trying make a Cinderella story happen with him...

"See me as I am, and hope to be" "You were always in plain sight" "Out of my dreams, into the light" "Everything wrong seems right" "Right beside me all this time"
Are we about to have our first ALW transitioning character?

Yes I dont think this is the classic Prince or love story now, which acrually makes this casting seem a bit more suitable than it did to begin with.

Amazon's track record (badumtish) isn't all that great so I'd not be surprised if there are some errors / omissions. And yes, doubt that a chunk of the names on the CR will be in the actual show. Feel as though it's wrong to report on things in news that haven't been confirmed by verified sources – disrupts the exciting reveals done by productions – which are usually a lot more premium and vibrant... why would they spend thousands on photoshoots and video recordings for it all just to get shouted about on twitter !

More from ALW. The new seats at the Gillian Lynne look very smart indeed. Maybe it's the angle, but the ones at the front look wider than usual.

I read the article at the very start of this thread which states that Prince Charming is gay and runs off with a Duke and that Cinderella falls for his "oddball" brother instead, Sebastian, who is this guy who's just been cast and has this song. Which is interesting to me because my initial instinct was it was going to be him that was LGBT.

I don't know if that's the story though, David Zippel said on this interview that the gay thing is not what people are expecting and ALW on the latest promo said it followed closely all the main points of the original plot but with a twist.

I'm really interested to see this and what the twists and changes are.

I presume the April/May opening will be put back AGAIN?
Surely they need to rehearse for 1/2 months before and that’s sadly not going to happen with a new covid strain.
Even if they vaccinate 1 mil a week by April or May that leaves 50 million without protection.
I’ve heard rumours of summer or September for shows to reopen now. (Coming from a friend IN a current closed show via producers today)
How sad.

Another song from the show on the Elaine Paige show about 45 minutes in. Very very Lloyd Webber with a slight nod here and there to Rodgers. As a singer, his odd vowel sounds are more of a distraction here. Shame as he has some good parts to his voice. I don't think his character is singing to Cinders in this song

(Sadly) I think it's unlikely rather than impossible. ALW has said he is happy to open with capacity limitations and some social distancing in place (did he say 75% occupancy, can't remember?) Wouldn't need more than 2 months rehearsals/get in - so assuming they could rehearse from March, it could happen. But yes, given the state of things a further delay is more likely.
