OHMYGOD HEY!
Last night, Andrew Lloyd Webber's BAD CINDERELLA had its first preview on Broadway and the internet has been buzing in respones to a teaser clip of the show's title song, performed by its new leading lady Linedy Genao.
In today's latest installment of 'The Cinderella Saga', I'm reacting to this newly released clip as well as footage of the show's first Broadway curtain call to tak through changes, critical inferences and of course - that hairstyle.

Her costume is giving Lizzie McGuire the movie vibes 😂
I came here to say the same thing lol
Someone else on Twitter said it looked like they used leftover outfits from the Disney Channel's "Descendants" and re-watching it, I kinda agree.
DEAD. I think you mean Isabella's / Lizzie's outfit for the concert? LMAO!
Hey Now, Hey Nooooww!
@@Pastadudde that’s the one! I couldn’t remember her name it’s been that long 😂😂😂
That costume change is goth erasure and I want none of it.
In seriousness, that they didn't modify the Bad Cinderella song to fit Linedy's voice is... A choice.
YES!!!
Especially by making her blend in more/match the ensemble😂 when that’s supposed to be the opposite.
Lowkey.... I'm mad about how no one is talking about going from a mid/plus size protagonist to a stereotypically attractive one. 😒 Gotta love fatphobia continuing unnoticed.....
@@courtneyernste4341 i saw someone on tiktok talk about this, mainly in reference to the costumes as the broadway version goes for more formfitting costumes than the west end with carrier. its very similar to the costume changes in funny girl when lea Michelle replaced beanie
Yea, I saw her as an understudy in DEH, she can sing requiem DAMM WELL. She can go high, making her sing lower is strange
alw has truly outdone himself… he’s managed to make it even worse.
How this shitty comment Can have 218 likes
too true too true 😭
You've got that right.
When has he not made shows worse by changing them?
fr tho like we could've worked with the west end version but there's no coming back from this one
I feel my biggest "issue" with the footage released is she is singing how she has a style "all her own" yet she looks way too similar to what the other townsfolk are wearing. I don't know how they'd change that but I feel it's (so far) the biggest misfire of what we know.
Yeah, that IS kind of annoying.
I’ve always LOVED Gabriela Tylesova’s costuming designs and I really liked her work in Cinderella, why they’d change designers I have no idea. Her costumes had such a unique art style with the shape and patterning, the new outfits look like they were recycled from an amdram panto. And don’t get me started on the ball dress 🤮🤮
Maybe its an American Psycho business card reference?
Make the character who is shunned for being different look different. It's the most basic skill in costuming and I don't understand how so many professionals have misstepped so hard. I can only imagine that ALW forced their hand because what other explanation is there?
Nothing says "I'm not like other Cinderellas, I'm a totally radical counterculture punk rebel bad Cinderella" like narcing on bootlegs
Tbf of course you're snitching on bootlegs during such early days. Love bootlegs but we do all just ignore the moral greyness of it.
@@cait812 I think when it comes to productions run by larger corporations (Disney, ALW's company, he may have had to remortgage his home to fund the original version of Cats but even back then his home was... basically a castle) - the moral greyness kinda goes both ways. Like, if you're at the top of the food chain, if you've got enough success going on that your multiple different ongoing productions have recovered after COVID and don't really need to worry, probably the people who oversee things could afford to not be so dogged in the pursuit of financial growth. They have reliable success, they know they're gonna keep making money, and all it would mean would be a slight reduction in the amount of profit they're bringing in in order to make some tickets cheaper, or similar measures aimed at making high-quality-produced theatre a bit more accessible. But companies will never properly commit to something like that where the goal is a fundamentally different one from the ideal of constant financial growth.
Like, sure, shareholders are a thing and whatever, but that in itself is kind of... morally grey? That the priority would be supplying rich people with more money over letting people access a creative work. Sorry for going off on one, I think something about the phrase you used made something click in my brain and I'm like... hang on, if morally grey is the line everyone uses for bootlegs, doesn't that deserve to apply to the particularly rampant capitalist production companies too? Like, I think the focus on the individual actions end of things is much easier because you kinda look at big companies and go 'well that's just how it is' so the fact that they are not exactly acting in a moral way either almost becomes invisible. So if everyone ignores the moral greyness of bootlegs, I think the moral greyness of the way large multi-production theatre companies are run is, probably the more ignored of the two honestly.
@@cait812 I seriously doubt that anyone who can actually go see the show live would ever choose a bootleg over that.
@Saphiwrath Did we forget about the importance of consent? Like… yk… from the actors? If someone outright does not consent to being recorded and you do it anyway, that’s all you
@@saphiwrath Still bootlegs aren't done with the consent of the actors, it can impact sales as there will be some people who don't see it once they've seen it or see a recording of the early days footage and decide it isn't for them even though it'll inevitably be tweaked. And regardless of any other reasons obviously the company behind producing and doing the show won't want bootlegs. We can't shit on them for that, of course you wouldn't want people illegally recording and taking your work. Most bootleg users probably wouldn't want strangers recording their work.
The costumes were some the best thing about the West End production. I loved the storytelling there with the townspeople wearing pastels and Cinderella wearing black and being more goth like, but still incorporating some colours from the townspeople and het sisters. I miss that here. Now they all look very similar, which is a weird choice.
Cinderella looks like Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday helllllp
I feel bad because MJ's theatre criticism is always so constructive, kind and fair, but when I see a new vid about this show I secretly want him to roast it to a crisp
It's like he doesn't know about the controversy lol. I'm like people weren't sharing this to have you critique the costumes
@fundifferent1 he does know about the controversies and has talked about it endlessly in the past. Hes literally the person who has (unintentionally at first) been documenting everything happening with BC since the beginning.
@@PhantomFandoms shut up. I know that. THat's not what I'm talking about.
Bad Cinderella is the gift that keeps on giving
I can't get past how badly they treated the existing company and incoming cast in London... It just makes me wonder how everyone in Broadway is being treated.
I'm sure right now they're being treated wonderfully. The real question will be how will the broadway company be treated once its no longer new and exciting?
In contrast to London, Equity has a strong presence on Broadway so that will keep things in check somewhat.
My favorite twitter observations from the opening were that this Cinderella seems to be styled as if she's playing Paulette in Legally Blonde and that the costuming as a whole looks like cheap cast-offs from the Disney Channel's "The Descendants" series. But most seriously, isn't Cinderella supposed be unconventionally beautiful? This pretty and slim actress in fact looks like she would be better cast as a sister of Delta Nu.
If that were me, I'd reboot it again but make Cinderella a skater and call it "RAD Cinderella".
Things that needed fixing: the storyline
Things that did not need fixing: the costuming
I'm not even going to hold out hope that the stupid and inconsequential stepmum/queen storyline got axed. Or that Marie and Adelle get a redemption arc.
ALW has literally gone 'oh well the London production was a disaster let's pretend it didn't happen and start it all over again'. He still hasn't bothered to fix the mess he made with the west end cast though I doubt they want to hear from him now!
Him calling it a costly mistake but then taking it to broadway which has far harsher critics than the west end…
It’s love never dies all over again
Let’s be real, he’s too out of touch to be able to fix this 😂
Wow I love how Cinderella is such a rebel, dressing exactly like the townsfolk and being uplifted by them as she dances along.....huh
As you said. Cinderella's costume looks very late 19909s/early 2000s. Specifically, the the character Mel Barker from 1999's CITV show 'My Parents Are Aliens'. Truly, just one look fired the entire plot of that show back into my brain for the first time in 20 years.
A musical so bizzare that even Wait in the Wings can’t properly put into words what happens in it.
You're not wrong
@@WaitintheWings HA
@@WaitintheWings Could Julie Taymor have saved this production with some Greek mythology perhaps???
@@jazzycat8917 I may be biased but maybe it needs a pig-killing song and dance to start off the second act?
"Hey besties, hope you enjoy this sneak peak of our bad bad Cinderella, a total punk rock counterculture girlboss rebelled against authority!
Also bootleggers will be turned over to the authorities and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. XOXO, Gossip Theatre!"
Carrie just embodied the part so much and has such a stunning voice. Idk that I could really love anyone else in the role.
All her roles are kind of teenage outcast roles, which is the embodiment of Cinderella in this version of the story. Also, if they did keep Carrie, I think it would be her Broadway debut if we don't count West End, which we don't.
I don’t understand the new costuming in Bad Cinderella (the song lol) at ALL, it makes zero sense for the ensemble to be dressed in such a dark palette and in ways that are so similar to how cinderella is dressed unless they’re moving away from the whole ‘we don’t like her bc she’s different,’ which if they move away from that, a major plot point won’t make any sense?? I also still don’t like any of the lyric changes I’ve heard so far, especially considering it seems like they kept some of the more confounding lyrics in. I think the marketing this time around is much smarter but it’s still confusing to me demographic wise, the show still seems unsure of who its meant to attract as a target audience. In general I’m excited to hear more thoughts from you as this production goes on, especially if you do decide to watch it when you’re in nyc!! I don’t think I can say I’m excited about this Broadway run but I’m somewhat close to catiously optimistic for now, lol.
I’m hoping that a lot of the swearing and sexual references have been cut from the dialogue, this would make it more family friendly and maybe fund it an audience. I was genuinely shocked in London about just how much bad language featured.
I think the costuming for Cinderella herself is actually not that bad of a change, it’s the rest of the ensemble I don’t think should have had costume changes for all the reasons you mentioned, cause for Cinderella going from the west end outfit to this makes it go from “she’s so edgy and not like us so we hate her” to “she doesn’t care/put effort into how she looks, so we hate her” neither are exactly perfect in any way shape or form but I think had the ensemble not changed costume wise then it would have mostly been fine
@@oliverstemp9132 I think considering that the US has always been a bit more prude/uptight abt sexual content and the likes than Europe, you may get your wish, just to make the show fit the image of wholesome family fun a bit more, though I truly think most of the references would go over most children’s heads and kids hear swear words all the time anyway but I totally get what you mean!!
One of my friends from school is making their debut in this show, and I’m so sad for them… I know that they see all the negative comments and all the drama online about the show, and I wish they could have just had a neutral experience as internet goes so they can fully enjoy their Broadway debut. It just makes me really sad :/// I agree with so many of the criticisms but it physically hurts to do so because at the same time, my friend is living their literal dream!
godh that must be hard, i guess it’s important to keep in mind that criticism about the material or direction had no bearing on the talent of the cast, i bet they’re great in it god that must be an amazing experience though
I will say that I was immediately more impressed by the stage design than anything else (costumes, singing, choreography) and that’s what I focused on right away! Absolutely gorgeous.
Me and my classmates are staying near Broadway and walked past bad Cinderella and was shocked it was the opening night, it looked very depressing and quiet, I didn’t even know it was the opening night until you mentioned it. I also feel very sorry for the London cast, they must feel betrayed that THEIR musical was changed over without them really knowing, I think Andrew Lloyd Webber is slowly becoming more dislikable
What? It was sold out on it's opening night in NYC ... completely sold out.
Technically they haven't had their "opening night" yet- the night where all the press, critics and special guests come. Right now they are only in previews which means the critics are giving them time to tweak the show before its official opening. The official opening night, with red carpet and such, hasn't happened yet.
@@samanthadaynes4758 oh, sorry my mistake
This still feel’s like something that I’d being forced through by ALW rather than being something that is actually wanted or asked for. I hope the newer version is less confusing to watch.
The Squidward musical made a laugh out loud, thank you! 😂😂
That also made me laugh 😅 made my day tbh
At first, I was excited for the transfer. I loved the West End version. It had a strong mid/plus sized lead who was well written and well-rounded. It was beautiful and different. And I actually liked an ALW show.... which shocked me.
But then the press announcement came out. I was suddenly on the fence. With the release of the Bad Cinderella single as well.. they changes were so obvious. I as a plus sized actress and theater owner was insulted by Webber insisting the changes were all because "an American audience couldn't handle it as originally written". Seriously, old man.... we are more than capable of accepting a mid/plus well written protagonist.
But this clip.... completely turned me off. They have ruined everything that made this take on Cinderella worth existing. I really wouldn't be surprised if it closes after a brief run. Also the pop crap they've added to the songs they've released are just... 🤢
Pl PM😮
I'm struggling here- a person at front of stage with backing dancers dancing in sync to her singing about how she's such an outcast? Like they're holding her up on their shoulders like sports teams do to their best players? The choreography is making her central the whole time? I'm so confused
Also I HATE that they've put her in trousers- like there's such mysogyny against girls and girly girls and you put the min character in trousers and all the female presenting characters in skirts- like c'mon, break the mould, it's 2023! We shouldn't be telling people that tom boys are better than girly girls 😭
I mean, one of the biggest issues with this show's premise is that it has inflicted Cinderella with "I'm not like other girls." The original story doesn't really have that, and what can be read into it doesn't really hold up (imo) since the story was about a girl wanting to go to a dance and not be a servant in her own home. The antagonistic female relationships come from her stepmother and stepsisters who treat her like she's worthless and there aren't any other women in the story except the fairy godmother, who is clearly taking the surrogate mother role for Cinderella. It wasn't ever a story about how certain women will excel if only in very specific circumstances.
@@kl-1447 Yeah, its like its gone backwards :( it should be more progressive not less
@@claire2088 Right? Cinderella is a classic story and there are ways to reimagine it for a modern audience (and it's been done well too!) but this is just not it. And also, I'm not entirely aware of everyone on the creative team, but ALW being an old white guy and wanting to make it a "I'm not like other girls" Cinderella just doesn't sit well with me either.
If you ask me, they should be going the full nine yards and giving Cinderella a completely gothic punk aesthetic. And maybe cast a thicker actress. You wanna make a show about breaking societal beauty conventions? Then stop being so damn scared to break societal beauty conventions!
@@stevecejk773 that's exactly what they did in the UK. They had Carrie Hope Fletcher (Tom Fletcher from McFly's sister as well as an actress in her own right) as a mid/plus size protagonist and she was 10000% Goth.
The whole production ended in a farce though; haemorrhaged money due to COVID locdowns and things delaying it, then LW didn't tell people it was closing; they mostly found out from social media/news reports. While some new cast members were having costume fittings days before.
Then on closing he called it 'an expensive mistake' 😬
I mean......they hit the nail on the head with the "Bad" part of "Bad Cinderella"..... sooooo....at least they are telling you what to expect going in?
"Did somebody say my name?" STOP😂😂 love it.
I think I prefer the west end Cinderella outfit it was really fun & different to the others. Her outfit on broadway preview looks the same as the other towns people. I cannot wait to see what they change in previews to opening.
I just want to say thank you for reacting verbally as well as with your facial expression. As someone with autism, I really appreciate you providing both as I can actually understand what’s happening. You are very good at making it clear exactly what tone and opinion you have.
this is also the first i've seen of the broadway run and god, her costume and styling made me feel like i was 11 and watching disney channel again lmfao
edit: ah, you just pointed this out too haha. i strongly suspect this is also an attempt at marketability - the 2000s are very In right now and so it just. idk it just LOOKS like they're banking on the tiktok crowd to want to emulate it and not even necessarily in a cosplay way
Everything that friends in London have told me made me decide not to waste my money. But wait. I was offered free tickets to review Bad Cinderella às I review off Broadway. Didn't take the bait. All told it looks like ALW is trying to be WOKE and relevant at age 74 and I am a fan. Seen everything he has had on BWY including Woman in White and Jeeves.
The fact we've gone from what happened in london to new york with out any workshops is baffling
I hope we get a Broadway cast album with the new songs but part of me suspects it will just be a highlights album to keep costs down. I hope it ends up being the full revised score.
As someone who lives nowhere near the west end or broadway I truly love that I have been able to rely on you to keep up to date with all of this!
The London slime tutorial IS Still on RUclips 🤣
I know you said not to pay attention to your face, but I couldn’t help it 😅 it was like looking at something in disbelief and turning to a friend and being like “are… are you seeing this?!” I was so ready for that tea 🫖
That intro was absolutely iconic 🤩
I've seen another video of the curtain call, which showed much more of the stage. With the loss of the incredibly heavy slatted wall, it has a sense of warmth, with little houses and swirls across the backcloth, which seems to echo the pros arches. I also noticed that the double revolve is there, and there are rather wide steps to the stage from the stalls (or orchestra - not pit).
What confuses me is how dear Cinders appears to look like the rest of the villagers, and yet she is "Bad Cinderella"? It isn't exactly apparent. At the press launch, Cinders had her spray can and sprayed the heart logo. Has this now gone?
I wish we knew more. I respect you for not saying too much whilst it is in previews. Sadly, I fear it may be gone before Some Like It Hot...
I am so glad you also see Orfeh with that hair! I was waiting for Cinderella to say “welcome to the hair affair” while watching hahaha
The way I RAN to see if you made a video on all of this
The costuming for Cinders with the spiky wig (well, and the others to a certain extent) kind of puts me in the mind of WWRY: am-dram edition?
It's so odd! Cinders should look so incredibly different to everyone else, but they're a too similar. Weird choice.
Reading this made me realize that the name “Cinders” would’ve been a better name rather than “Bad Cinderella”
The ensemble looks quite dark and muted in costume tone so seems a drastic change from the pastel of west end and such 2000.s hair its almost distracting!
You just know Carrie Hope Fletcher will watch this video
And then pretend she didn’t 😂
@@oliverstemp9132you can’t blame her for maintaining a vague level of professionalism in the whole mess
@@londongirl2768 she’s great an bouncing back from scandal, it should be in her bio
I mean she’s already posted it to her story congratulating the new Cinderella with no malice at all saying she was amazing.
@@eddiecomerford8307 Hahaha, oh of course. (she hasn't has she?)
First thought was - who ordered a Wish version of Cinderella? The recording of ‘I know I have a heart’ sounds dreadful, like it was recorded in a lockdown broom cupboard.
The problem is not the original cast, set, score, material or costumes. The problem is that we all know the story of Cinderella even if she’s Emo
i haven't really seen enough of the West End or the Broadway version of the musical, but personally I really miss goth Cinderella. Besides Carrie being in it, the costume and changes they made to what's usually known as Cinderella's style made me pay attention to it in the first place. Based on what bits I saw of the plot, changing Cinderella's style from pretty much Goth to this new style which is a lot more similar to the style of the townsfolk, especially with the outfit she seems to be wearing in the end, it's like they're missing the point of the story they're telling.
Costumes for me were Disney Descendants meets Notre-Dame de Paris... glossy grunge. *sighs*. Thing is, ALW is so powerful, who's he going to listen to to keep him in check?
One positive has come out of this. I might be able to sell my original west end 'Cinderella' fridge magnet for millions in a few years 😂🤑
When she’s hoisted aloft on “I am Bad C…,” her arm extension is all Wicked, especially with that camera angle, which de-emphasizes how close she is to the ground. Has to be intentional suggestion, yes?
Her turquoise top/burgundy pant combo is the same as the hunk to her left. Deliberate link?
If this show lasts longer than Diana: The Musical I will riot!!
Those costumes for the step sisters look like they're 100% inspired by the ball gowns from the Lily James movie. The colour combinations look exactly the same.
Very true the same with step mother
The timing of this video is wonderful. Shortly after this video posted the BBC (UK national broadcaster) posted a Breaking News tweet. About the coronation, and specifically that ALW was one of the composers selected to create new music for the event. I'm curious whose music he might rip off this time.
And don't get me started on why that should be considered breaking news, but it gives your non-UK based audience an idea of the fame of ALW in the UK.
I would kill for a parody version of this sung by Brandy.
When the world needed him most...he returned.
I was at the first preview, and it was great!! I loved it, and it was an incredibly fun theater experience. The ensemble was especially incredible!!!
This musical won't stop haunting you!
I can’t wait to watch the show live in person 🥰
This show seems confused as to what it wants to be, as they don't want to make Cinderella actually punk, because it will turn away too many audiences, but by doing so they make her so bland that the point of her character is lost.
Going for this odd modern historical fusion that is very clearly a la &juliet, is also not working in their favour, because it was done so expertly in &juliet and other shows like it.
It would have been interesting to see them take this more of an 18th century way, like they had carrie dressed in some solo promo shots for the single. That would have given the show a unique look, by going for a completely differnt silhouette. Plus a really easy way to show that Cinderella does not conform, would be to not have her in that silhouette.
Looking forward to seeing this and your reaction when it opens. Have you done a post on Kimberly Akimbo yet?
Ok I LOLed at Kylo Ren and yassified. I am going to the second preview tonight if you need eyewitness commentary!😂
Slightly Jodie Whittaker Doctor Who vibe with the outfit, but not as colourful. Feels like it should clash more with the rest of the ensemble.
Mickey, I love our living room chats about ALW and Cinderella. Waiting impatiently for the next, will this saga ever end?! I hope so and no at the same time!
Cant wait to watch!!!
Please do a video on Ramin Karimloo teasing him being phantom again!!!!!
I will almost certainly have things to say once we see the final costumes. Those things will almost certainly reference the costume “adjustments” after the lead actress changed at Funny Girl. Gonna follow your lead and give them the benefit of the doubt for now.
I heard nothing but bad reviews on the BroadwayWorld chat boards. I am curious if you will see this when you make your visit to NYC.
I think they dragged carrie more right? It looks like they're just leading her to the tree here.
@mickeyjotheatre answer to your question: That character in the floor-length smock during bows was a totally throwaway character who disappeared in the 2nd act instead of having anything about her introduction in act 1 develop. I thought she was going to be the fairy godmother, but then she just got forgotten by the book as if she pissed off ALW halfway through workshopping and couldn't get out of her contract.
Seems a little weird to not address that Carrie is mid/plus size and that also seemed to really add to her standing out in the previous version
Agghhh I actually LURRV a mickey Jo Cinderella video!!! I mean I love att mickey Jo videos but especially the Cinderella ones 😂😂
Also, by using the word "bootleg" specifically, they could make it harder for people looking up how to find the bootleg.
The Cinderella sounds like someone put their drunk aunt out there to sing
We are seeing it next Friday and going in blind. Now I’m wanting to go back to watch your videos to get caught up on all the tea but on the fence because going in blind I’ll have no expectations. The ensemble member you referred to as from spongebob (hilarious!) is Raymond Barnard from MJ and Hamilton. The bicep king! Hello from the other side! ❤
I agree with the comments that she looks just like everyone else so how is she an outcast?! Also I'm sorry but Carrie Hope Fletcher has some major chops and would totally rock New York much like Caitlin Kinnunen did in The Prom. Linedy sounds fine but it's just another pop sound. Still, I'm being taken to see it in about a month (I think I'm seeing the last preview) so I'll have more to report once it's been tightened. In the meantime, thanks for everything Mickey :)
You're going to have to go see it when you go on your trip to Broadway...if it's still open.
I wonder if the costuming got changed because Andrew got into an argument with the costume depart and he wanted to stick it to them. It feels like something he’d do
I don't know why but as soon as I started watching the broadway footage, I thought "starlight express meets the 90s" when it came to the costumes 😆
This is the first time I've heard this song...am I the only one who thinks it kind of sounds like 'The Riddle' by Nik Kershaw? Like, the bit where she sings 'I am Bad Cinderella/I've a style all my own' sounds like 'Near a tree by a river/There's a hole in the ground' to me. Does anyone know what I mean?
I hope you come to New York! I’d love to meet you if you are there as the same time as me.
Mickey Jo will not have to buy a meal if he comes to NYC
When I first saw that costume I was like what the actual fuck is that, like the west end costume with the new jacket would’ve worked PERFECTLY, the jacket is breathtaking THATS the only piece that works with the costume.
but a grey ragged tank top a blue lace shirt with a blue and brown underbust corset with red pants and pink heels why give her heels if she is supposed hate heels.
I liked the tone of the west end version. I think Linedy will get better. It's a preview. I feel bad because people are dissing her but she looks like someone out of a Disney show or Paulette from Legally Blonde. I liked the Gothic feel of the original. It makes me sad they erased something I liked vs better writing.
I won’t lie, the second I saw those clips I knew I had to check your channel.
Hey gang, everyone has been pointing this out but Imma point it out here:
"I am bad Cinderella" sounds eerily similar to "In my own little corner"
That’s correct, it’s what it is
I can always count on you for the ALW’s Cinderella/Bad Cinderella tea
Never saw the London version, but thought I caught snippets of “in my own little corner”here. Or am I imagining things?
It's an "homage." Supposedly.
Honestly I hope webber finally gets whats coming to him after the way he treat the west end company and others in the past.
Have you ever done a full recap of the Rebecca on Broadway situation? I've seen some other creators do it but I'd love your take on it!
When they changed the name from Cinderella to Bad Cinderella, I thought it was supposed to be solely a marketing move, not an adjective.
"I thought the queen died.... again!" Underrated quote from this vid
She doesn't sing it as well as Carrie. Did they not change it to accommodate her range or something?
I’m way too obsessed with the SpongeBob musical so it wasn’t something that I picked up on, but only because I know Squidward has teal/aqua trousers rather than green. I need to go outside more.
When I was scrolling through TIkTok and this came up, I thought Mean Girls before I thought Cinderella for sure this is giving me grunge Lizzie McGuire
Going 2 March
O ! My God Can't Wait
WHAT AN INTRO 🤣 IM SCREAMING
hey you should make a video about the "ricky potts situation" with ride the cyclone. its a pretty serious issue and it should be addressed by someone with a larger audience!!
I remember vaguely reading about that. Is that about the disabled guy who was fired from a disabled role which was then given to a non disabled person?
omg my tweet was in this video !!! i always scream for ur opinion anything to do with this hell of a music🤭🤭
I just saw the show last night. Let me just say... Mr. Webber in recent years had a lack of imagination. Yet in this one, he got too much of an imagination...
I was there in no small part due to yours and others’ coverage and my genuine curiosity. Plus tickets were competitive as Broadway goes. Mom and dad came too.
Dad enjoyed it. Mom who reads cheesy romance novels even on the line, found it delightful. I enjoyed the talent and the vocals and the costumes, but sheesh…
Sadly the story seems to have the same major plot holes and ditched threads and gratuitous incest vibes, plus the lyrics in the US version feel weaker overall.
One song was missing as compared to the UK soundtrack I have listened to that I noticed, but I could not tell you if it is rehearsed and being considered but was not performed or if it was entirely cut.
Oh and the statue prank obviously has only happened once so maybe it will change, but at least so far is majorly toned down from the UK version because Americans can’t be trusted with a joke about you know whats.
There was surprisingly little visible press for a first night of previews as such. Phantom not closing the same weekend after all probably is a good thing.
Fun all in all,
Thank you for all the research that helped me prep, decompress, and become a more savvy showgoer.
What song was cut ?
@@samuelblachon95130 So far as I can tell, Prince Charming’s extended song about battling the sea monster was gone. Unless I zoned out at that specific moment, but I swear I don’t remember hearing it. He just appears, introduces his beau, and they went right to the celebratory engagement song and the wedding. It really was extraneous to the larger plot, granted a lot of stuff retained is too.
@Hannah Simpson I think that was maybe just on the concept album, I loved it though
@@Hannah.Simpson That was never in the West End show, either.
@@trixiftube Thank you for that clarification. I stand corrected. I actually never saw the London show, I only listened to the soundtrack on Apple Music so I assumed it was in the show at least at some point.
The American version by comparison has only released two singles of Linedy so far prior to its debut in previews and the first weekend of previews.
The song made it on the cast album, but it also makes a lot of sense it would have gotten cut from the show because it added so little. Both generally and compared to what it could have at that point in the show.
