Does anyone know whether this adaption is set in the present day?? Because that's that the press images are screaming. She’s going to be stomping around in a pair of Doc Martins if the press photos before lockdown are anything to go by. And that’s reinforced by the artwork so I think there’s a good chance. I find the idea of Carrie Hope Fletcher in a pair of bovver boots giving her fangirls what she thinks is an “edgy” Cinders totally unappealing and will be giving it a wide berth.

/?vh=e&d=n Nothing majorly new. But a small clip at the end of the strings section playing part of one of the songs.

I think they're talking about the advertisement photos that were released. That's horrendous! The pink makes me think of &Juliet, not Cinderella! Windella?

The lettering is still appalling (those awful slippers) - I wouldn't be surprised if this has totally new graphics by the time it opens.

After hearing snippets of piano, singing via social distancing and all - that was really, really awesome to hear. ALW is still the master of marketing (and composing ) That was pretty thrilling

I wasn't sure about the song when the first snippets were released but the more that's been revealed and especially now with the full orchestrated version there I really like it.

Well, that little excerpt has done what is was intended to do, and I'm now much more interested in booking than I was before, so well done Team ALW!

Is that just me or does someone else hear the resemblance between Tell me on a Sundays Tyler King and Bad Cinderella ??

Is that just me or does someone else hear the resemblance between Tell me on a Sundays Tyler King and Bad Cinderella ?? YES. And another song.... Just find it incredibly dull.

Where did you see these new photos ? I think they're talking about the advertisement photos that were released. Looks like the graphic design is my passion meme

If that's the "hit" song they're in huge trouble. If you're going to steal a tune you should try to make it more interesting, not less.

To me it does sound incredibly like 'In My Own Little Corner' from R&H's Cinderella! The beginning of the chorus literally follows exactly the same melody structure("call me bad Cinderella/in my own little corner")
I have a feeling the cast for this is going to be impressive and will probably make it a must-see, but it's going to be very mediocre...

He might try to claim it is an homage to the R&H song - but it feels too close for comfort. And it is hardly the first time ALW has 'borrowed' from other composers (and yes, I know lots of composers have done that over the years - ALW just seems to do it more than most)

In his defence he is a lot more prolific so has a much larger body of work, whereas B&S have only written like, 5 full length musicals so their opportunities to nick from Puccinni (sp?) have been much less. I’m sure there’s a pie chart or a histogram somewhere that could be used in a court of law...that, and it’s out of copyright so it’s fair game. 😬

He should just be honest and do a musical called ‘Recycle’ or ‘Pillage’ for full transparency. We could have all 15 versions of Love Never Dies/Our Kind of Love

I think ‘Pillage’ needs an exclamation mark. How exciting would that make it?
‘PILLAGE!’

It is one of the most evident parts of their scores when you see them written out

That's actually really beautiful, you can imagine that break with the full orchestrations. The two songs I've heard so far from this show I've enjoyed.

Big ALW fan here. However, I don’t like that. Clunky lyrics (who’s the lyricist?) and familiar melody.

I like it - pretty (and catchy) melody, which is probably going to be stuck in my head all day. It does sound like it should be in LND, with Christine singing it at Coney Island!

Best thing about that is the news that the chandelier will rise again. Cinder-meh-la. It's a nice tune as most ALW tunes are but something bugs me about CHF.

It really sounds like something but I cant put my finger on it, I bet the orchestrations will be beautiful.
