BAD CINDY...YUP...
This is not a Cinderella musical. It is is a song and dance parody of a historically significant story that celebrates historical norms and states that lgbt folks also love. Okay, the point was made in a ribald manner that to me did not ring true. Further the songs were "soft" and not at the iconic level of cats, phantom , les mis and others. The oppenning second act was a take off of masquerade and paled in comparison. The queen stole the show, both princes were challenged and the step mother; while talented, struggled with a script that reminded me of the stand up at a vaudeville performance....Was i entertained? Yup, would i go back...nope.

SHE NEEDED TO NOT BE FLYING IN THE FINALE.
First of all your prince was lackluster and although they taught him the dance steps and he did them - he is not dancer. There are so many talented performers, it is odd that they settled. He is cute and charming but that is not enough. Cinderella was adequate but again there is better out there. At least she could dance. The last scene was a travesty. Everything about it was ridiculous including the fairy godmother hanging up there.

4 YEAR OLD TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED
Took my 4 year old daughter to the show. She dressed herself in the blue Cinderella gown and was so excited to see the show! Well my daughter complained the entire time saying Cinderella isn't dressed like her (her gown wasn't blue, it was white and the other was gold, "she looks like Belle" my daughter said) or looks like the Cinderella she has come to know and love. The story was so different from what she knows also. In the very beginning there is a big tree monster that terrified her to bits and she is still scared about it 2 weeks later! If I didn't take her I would probably give the show closer to 4 stars. We both loved the dresses and and the singing but again if I knew that they would change the story so much and make a political statement in the story as well I would have never taken her and just went with friends.

????????
The only reason I am giving this play 2 stars is because the performers, sets, and costumes were wonderful. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would butcher this story! I took my 20 year old daughter to what we thought would be the story we both grew up loving. This IS NOT that story it has been completely changed into some kind of political statement. Do NOT bring young girls to this play they will be bored and confused. Without giving away everything, I can only tell you that NOTHING is the same. How they got away with calling it Cinderella I don't know. The only reason we didn't walk out at the intermission was because we wanted to hear the beautiful songs of Rogers and Hammerstein!

TOO LONG, POOR LEAD SINGERS, DON’T WASTE YOUR $$
Bad Cinderella is BAD. Lead male singer (Sebastian) maybe could have gotten the lead in a high school play but doubtful. Cinderella ok about 25% of the time but otherwise meh. And Andrew Lloyd Weber should have stopped composing while he was ahead. Plus, Imperial Theater, it was way too warm in there. Lots of $$$$$ for minimal enjoyment.

IF IT ISN'T BROKE
I went to see the show last night. The orignal book by Oscar Hammerstein which I knew and loved was barely there. This version tinkered too much with the original story. Gone were the King and Queen replaced by Lord Pendelton and Jean Michel. Neither character is worthy of being included in the story. Pendelton competes with the Evil Stepmother to see who is more evil. Jean Michel is a bore. Ella as she is known here never "looses" her slipper and the scene of the trying on of the slipper was bland. The political add on was awkward to say the least. One star for the young lady who played Ella with such poise. Ella's dresses were more like a little girl's dress up trunk than a costume befitting Cinderella. Singing and dancing were good but the story line change was a big disappointment.
