TL;DR Summary

Andrew Lloyd Webber's latest musical, "Bad Cinderella," opened on Broadway to scathing reviews. The show, which is a revamped version of the original "Cinderella" musical that opened in London in 2021, is described as vulgar, sexed-up, and dumbed-down, with loud songs and sets. Despite attempts to give Cinderella a feminist spin, the show falls flat due to the unrelievedly pompous direction and workmanlike lyrics and music. However, Lloyd Webber's previous Broadway musicals have been incredibly successful, and "Bad Cinderella" may still find success despite negative reviews.
