Theatre | The Guardian: A letter from Andrew Lloyd Webber, read on stage at the closing night of Cinderella, suggested that opening his new musical during the pandemic “might have been a costly mistake”.

This was really interesting, I know I went back a bit from what we are talking about today but when Bad Cinderella was announced it was mocked pretty hard. My friend Allison introduced me to this production of Cinderella within the first few months of the school year. I enjoyed it but it was kind of it was almost so bad it was good. Later when I saw Bad Cinderella announced i genuinely just started laughing. It seems like the producers and Andrew loyd Weber are trying to patch together a usable show that enough people will enjoy so they can get a pretty pay check. I’m sure when the show opens on Broadway it will be fine, but I realy don’t expect it to last long. Also the marketing team needs to make sure they have a strong grasp on Andrew loyd Weber to prevent him from saying any thing for this new “version” of the show.
