Ready to get refunded for Cinderella first preview because I booked for one seat. ALW has decided to push on with 50% capacity.

It has a revolving “stage”

Some very good numbers, especially the ballads.

Probably the most good looking, charismatic and confident Evan Hansen

The album cast recording for Andrew Lloyd Webber's latest musical - Cinderella is out today.

Adam Lambert takes the role of Prince Charming in this recording. (Note: His solo number has been axed even during the first preview.)

Todrick Hall sings one of the songs for the single version.

“Come From Away” will premiere on Apple TV+ on September 10, just ahead of the 20th anniversary of 9/11. 

The musical tells the story of passengers who were stranded in Gander, Newfoundland when the US airspace was closed due to the terrorist attacks. It was nominated for Best Musical at the Tony Awards but eventually lost to “Dear Evan Hansen”.

The performance was filmed in May for an audience of 9/11 survivors and frontline workers.

A tease of what the set looks like.

Broadway folks, heard that the West End set is even more glorious? Is it true?

That really sent me. Although, it's not my fave. I'm also living for the awful reviews the film is getting, as much as I love the original and Ben Platt most of all.

I am excited for SS's version and FINNEAS - I really love FINNEAS's album.

I saw the Rotten Tomatoes score

Could be worse, I guess

FINNEAS's new album is coming out next month, right?

Not sure which new song will be submitted for the Oscar. Could be a Cats 2.0 situation though with the reviews

I did NOT know that.

Can a song be submitted for an Oscar? Since they're not original?

The Anonymous One and A Little Closer are new, I believe
