Bad Cinderella

It hasn’t been so long since the newest iteration of Cinderella started playing on Broadway, and we’re here to bring our thoughts on this reimagining where Beauty Is Our Duty, but also Beauty Has a Price.  Were the critics unfair to the show?  Let us know your thoughts!

Christine was a bit congested when recording this episode, so apologies for the dip in quality!

How intoxicated are you allowed to be while watching Bad Cinderella, in comparison to other social events?  This TikTok has all the answers.

Apparently, the Hot Nuts song is a thing.

If you want to hear Andrew Lloyd Webber’s origin story as told by Tim Rice, check out his podcast (also, can anyone tell us what Get Onto My Cloud even means??)

Lyricist David Zippel is fairly accomplished in other theater projects, notably the recent stage adaptation of Disney’s Hercules which includes a new song, To Be Human

As expected, Jesse Green of the New York Times did indeed hate this show. But the reviews weren't all bad...
