ALW's Cinderella Final West End Performance - 12th June 2022 - Curtain Call and Speech

[@sophieallen8692]

Hats off to Lawrence Connor for trying to lift the tone and spirit of the last show. Obviously he was just passing on ALW’s message, but he did an amazing job of still giving the cast and crew of Cinderella a fond and professional farewell. The looks on the faces of the cast during his letter said it all😔

I went back the night before. Wish I could have been there tonight. 08:24 ALW's tone death "it might have been a costly mistake" -- Oooph. Love CHF's very subtle head shake.

[@chloeperdrix8867]

In a closer video, you can see/hear Lauren Byrne burst out laughing as soon as she heard thay

[@SamWest96]

You can see the moment Carrie's face turns from a knowing shake of the head to anger and then again from anger to heartbreak.

[@thequeenofbooks24]

“I know I have a heart because you broke it” being the most accurate song for them to leave the stage during 🤣

[@misssupercookie2011]

If you look closely you can see Carrie plotting murder

[@chaotic_lesbian]

And trying to keep a straight face when everyone's booing ALW

[@cassieosbourne7666]

Interesting how a world renowned composer can be so tone deaf

[@GitanAnimex]

Actually Is not that strange

[@takakhan-z3w]

It would seem as though ALW has entered the "fallen idol and false friend" stage of his career.

[@Iwouldrathernotbecontacted]

He said it was easy to find the villian, but never really defended alw bc he knew that he had done wrong.

[@Sabrinajaine]

It seemed like he was about to divulge something about ALW's personal life but stopped himself, very interesting...

[@andrewalvy5567]

Disgraceful Lloyd Webber kept a low profile. You could tell by the looks on the faces of the cast what they thought. He's gone down in my estimation for sure. Thought he had more integrity than that.

[@andrewalvy5567]

Saw penultimate show Saturday. Second visit. Such a shame!

[@fortissimo6210]

Ngl a show can't do much with a bad score. The quality of the performers for what I would refer to as a show that wouldn't make it past the workshop stage in production. The score is properly bad. The major song bad Cinderella has weird leaps and jumps from a minor dissonant tone to a painfully bright and joyous major tone. In my opinion it is good riddance to that show.

[@ThePurpleCheesecakeZebra]

he was already far down in my books. he writes catchy jingles that old middle class people like which is how hes captured the old middle class audience that is the west end. when he goes to perform for the queens bday (which she didnt even show up to), mispronounces the name of a guy hes supposedly been working with and neglects to come to his own shows final night, thats just whats expected of a rich old man. its him him him and nobody else

[@santangelogaia19]

@@ThePurpleCheesecakeZebra catchy jingles?? I mean he has a bad character but in his career he literally wrote like 7/8 among the best musicals of all time... 🙄🙄🙌🙌

[@maumau9]

Thank you so much for capturing and sharing this amazing moment. A truly magical moment!

[@svizerana]

Lawrence must have told Andrew that these words are a bad choice, and he still made him read it.

[@Lulu_o7]

I’m just about done with ALW, I think we all are. Seriously hope that Cinderella is his downfall. Incredible cast, wasted on a bad show.

[@kaylaheafey5888]

Victoria Hamilton Barritt looked pissed

[@SM-BSW]

ALW made Carrie cry! Not okay dude!

[@faffolite]

The debarcle goes on

[@adrubal]

"A costly mistake"??? WTF

[@fortissimo6210]

look at lauren byrne she breaks into laughter after this line she is on the right on the other recordings

[@sheismymom]

should have done a proshot this cast is something else

[@jasonluckoff3880]

Is this certificate version of bad Cinderella a musical?

[@BeckyMD26]

I just don’t understand how he thought it was ok to say it was a “costly mistake” when all of the people who have worked so so hard on the show are on the stage listening!

[@santangelogaia19]

The ones who said ALW is ended and he has always written awful jingles that were only commercially successful are literally lying knowing it... I mean he is the composer of some of the most renowned musicals of all time... Joseph, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Cats, Starlight, Sunset Boulevard, Phantom... Also Aspects of Love and Woman in White were good. Love Never Dies is musically and lyrically beautiful... The book does not work. (He has to thank two legends like Sierra and Ramin to make it work with their 🔥🔥🔥 chemistry. It's literally them who sold the show to the audience) He has composed 2/3 flops but every musical composers, even the bests, had their downs But ALW is up there with Rodgers and Hammerstein, Sondheim and a few others HE HASN'T A GOOD PERSONALITY AND HE IS KNOWN AS A VERY STRICT PERSON BEHIND THE CURTAINS BUT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS TALENT AND HE STILL HAS TO BE RESPECTED AS THE WONDERFUL COMPOSER HE IS, FOR THE LEGACY HE CREATED AND FOR WHAT HAS DONE TO THE MUSICAL THEATRE WORLD.

ok
