UNHAPPILY EVER AFTER!! These last few weeks have been extremely rough over news of Delta Variant cases of COVID-19 rising. Sadly, its starting to take effect on Live Theater that has been starting to reopen overseas including London’s West End. Due to all of this, we regret to share with all of you that Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber‘s new musical adaptation of the classic story of Cinderella (led by Carrie Hope Fletcher) has officially cancelled both its official OPENING NIGHT this evening and the full production will NOT be returning!!!
The production had recently completed its preview performances at London’s Gillian Lynne Theatre.
The Cats and The Phantom of the Opera composer took to social media to express his sadness about this hard and difficult decision.
Even before all of this was happening, the company of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cinderella had an extreme COVID-19 testing system before heading into work every day….. with rehearsals, tech, and doing the show. This past Saturday, a company member tested Positive with everyone else coming out Negative. This past weekend’s performances were postponed till Monday. However now with extreme guidelines changing from the UK Government, there was no other choice but to cancel CINDERELLA indefinitely.
Our hearts are devastated for the full cast, crew, musicians, and creative behind behind this magical production.
How upsetting is all this?!!!
