Bad Cinderella On Broadway has announced the cast for the new musical fully opening in March 2023. The previews of the exciting new debut will begin in February, as the production moves to its American home following an initial run in London between 2021 – 2022.
Featuring a new group of performers for the Broadway musical, the names and faces of talent have been announced.
Linedy Genao stars as Cinderella, Jordan Dobson is Sebastian, Carolee Carmello will be performing the role of the Stepmother, Christina Acosta Robinson is the Godmother, Morgan Higgins and Sami Gayle as the step-sisters, while Grace McLean is the Queen. With a fun video in the style of the television show The Real Housewives, the announcement featured the ‘taglines’ best known from the reality franchise to introduce the production to the American audiences.
Also tipped to be in the cast are Raymond Baynard, Michael Baerga, Lauren Boyd, Tristen Buettel, Kayleigh Cronin, Josh Drake, Ben Lanham, Angel Lozada, Cameron Loyal, Mariah Lyttle, Sarah Meahl, Christian Probst, Larkin Reilly, Julio Rey, Lily Rose, J. Savage, Tregony Shepard, Dave Schoonover, Paige Smallwood, and Aléna Watters. Alyssa Carol, Gary Cooper, Robin Masella, Michael Milkanin, Chloe Nadon-Enriquez, and Lucas Thompson are named as swings.
With a slightly different name adapted for Broadway, due to associations with pantomimes and Disney that allegedly confused British audiences, a few tweaks are also rumoured to have been made to the musical in addition to the title change.
Bad Cinderella features an updated story and book by Oscar-winning screenwriter Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman, “Killing Eve”), with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by David Zippel (City of Angels). The creative team is also reported to include director Laurence Connor (Les Misérables), with choreography from JoAnn M. Hunter (School of Rock), set and costume design by Gabriela Tylesova, sound design from Gareth Owen, lighting design from Bruno Poet, hair and wig design by Luc Verschueren, and features co-musical supervisor John Rigby.
Casting is by Tara Rubin Casting. The musical is produced on Broadway by Christine Schwarzman and Darren Johnston of No Guarantees and Really Useful Group. Wagner Johnson Productions is the executive producer.
In the exceptionally beautiful kingdom of Belleville, the fields are idyllic, the prince is charming, and the townsfolk are ravishing. Only one stubborn peasant stands in the way of absolute perfection: Cinderella. To the flawless residents and royals of Belleville, this damsel IS the distress.
Cinderella’s only friend in Belleville is the equally overlooked Prince Sebastian. When his older brother, Prince Charming, mysteriously disappears, he is thrust into the spotlight. As the new royal heir, Prince Sebastian must choose a bride at the ball and live unhappily ever after. With the prospect of losing the only person she’s ever cared for to the crown, Cinderella pays a visit to the Godmother, who can solve any problem… for a price.
Bad Cinderella is set to open at the Imperial Theatre on Broadway in February 2023, with tickets now on sale.
