Shame it's going to Broadway Show is good, different twist on Cinderella, recommend dor children over 10.

Cinderella updated! A fun, witty, amusingly inclusive update on the original cinderella story.

A Different Take on the Cinderella Story The performance of Cinderella was excellently performed. The stage and some of the seating were interesting designed, the sets were creative and lovely, costumes were great, colorful and appropriate for the characters. The actors acted and sang well. Production values were very good and the lighting and tech work were superb. The music was typically Andrew Lloyd Webber's, though I am not sure I heard particularly memorable numbers. The story line seemed a bit contrived but it definitely was a different take on the Cinderella story. While the show as a whole is appropriate for anyone, some of the sexual innuendos were fortunately over the heads of the younger children in the audience for whom they were inappropriate.

Must see. Music was good. It a fun night out Really good show. But not for little kids.

Amazing performance We loved every bit of the show and had superb seats. Totally loved the stalls at the front moving round. Have never experienced seeing that and so unexpected.
The costumes were outstanding and the quality of singing.
We had 4 seats Circle D 49-52.

Stylish retell if a classic story Good fun show, great costumes . Loved the stage moving to an in the round setting for the ball.

Much better than anticipated - would recommend Wanted to see this just because it's by ALW rather than for the story, and so glad we did. Cast were all outstanding but the technical aspects raised this above many other shows; the wonderful revolving stage which came as a complete surprise, lighting which didn't shine straight into your eyes and above all the excellent clarity of the sound - so often over-loud or distorted even in the West-End.

God bless the stepmother and sisters for keeping the pace Expected more from ALWs Cinderella to be honest.
The story was modern but fairly poorly linked … a lot of dei ex machina (i.e. the modern fairy godmother - twice). Story was slow and rather incoherent. Thanks to the ab-fab stepmother as well as sisters, the show was lifted to a West End standard again.

Brilliant, funny, great music A great evening out for all the family, we loved it very funny and great music

Must see The show was excellent, throughly enjoyable & totally different to any Cinderella's you may have watch before. I would strongly recommend that it's a must see show.

Cinderella Fairytale 2022 What a refreshing modern day version of this classic fairytale. Such a good vibe in and outside theatre which is beautiful & intimate. Loved it ?

A unexpected gem Wasn’t sure what to expect as Cinderella can be a bit sugary but what an amazing surprise. This was so good. A real updating of a classic tale. Went home buzzing with how much I enjoyed the show.

Great musical Fabulous scenery costumes and music. This twist on Cinderella was worth the wait. Surprise ending! Beautiful singing and the revolving stage was spectacular! A great show

Second time of seeing show This is our second visit the first was on opening night
Such a fun show with great actors and singers
Dawn, 16 Mar 2022
Creative staging, great lead vocals from all of the main characters. The staging had some great surprises.
All of the lead vocalists were amazing.
Great plot twist.
Very emotional.
It's not a Disney Cinderella, so be aware there is a bit of bad language.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Must see.
Christopher, 13 Mar 2022
Disappointing First half was enjoyable but not outstanding. During the interval a lady fell down some stairs so second half didn’t happen. Hope to see it again sometime.
John, 12 Mar 2022
New twist on an old story Really loved this novel twist on a traditional story - it was great fun. Costumes were gorgeous and all of the leads were tremendous
Lesley, 05 Mar 2022
Unexpected The songs are not known so the audience could not interact. The moments of Cinderella and Sebasuan were too melancholic and not exciting enough
Luciana, 05 Mar 2022

Stephen, 20 Feb 2022
Good Entertaining but did not like the changes to the real Cinderella story
Zora, 18 Feb 2022
Outstanding The performance was full of energy and the staging was excellent. The performers had strong voices and were talented dancers. What set this show apart was the clarity of the singing which meant every word was audible. There was a clever and unexpected twist to this classic tale at the end. Genius!
Helen, 17 Feb 2022
Escapism at its best Great story line and fabulous music
Jeanne, 16 Feb 2022
Funny and unexpected The staging in the second half was genius! Loved the funny parts and the costumes. Overall the singing was fantastic! Leading lady was superb. Well done everyone
Charlotte, 16 Feb 2022
Thoroughly enjoyed Cinderella Just loved the music the acting the songs
Everything about the show.
Not really suitable for young children even though the title
may lead parents to think it is.
Glynis, 12 Feb 2022
A must see show A fantastic musical well worth going to see
Amanda, 09 Feb 2022
Excellent Show For 12 and Above No good or bad fairy, mice or shiny carriage, but oh what an excellent performance from all the other main characters we all know so well from the traditional Xmas offerings of this well loved tale. The Queen and the ugly sisters stepmother were perfectly pitched against each other, as were the ugly sisters. Cinderella was a little dwarfed by these two pairs of characters.. but the show was colourful, flowed well, plenty of stage craft , and delightful music.
Would suggest that this musical is best suited for 12 and above. And don’t bring them if they are expecting a traditional pantomime of boo and hisses, and a bag of sweets for the lucky view. But take everyone else. A lovely colourful show. We had a most enjoyable evening.
John, 25 Nov 2021
Clever new creation on an original fairy tale! Cast acting excellent and the musical brought humour to a classic story line. A surprise in the second half of the performance made the show even more enjoyable for the audience and the whole show was truly amazing.
