Cinderella The Musical 2022 - Articles Page 2

Theatre has endured a truly torrid time during the pandemic, with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cinderella delayed for a year and last month’s opening night called off at the last minute. However, the much-hyped show is now here and this irreverent take on the traditional fairytale is a joyful spectacle.

Under a temporary variation agreement negotiated by Equity and the Society of London Theatre last year, a production can be suspended for up to 12 weeks, but no salaries will be paid during the closure period. However, the company is “taking a different approach” for Cinderella, and is now working with the union to negotiate pay for its members during this time.

Andrew Lloyd Webber has released a statement announcing that his production of Cinderella will not open. This past weekend, the production was forced to cancel performances. In his statement released today, Andrew Lloyd Webber shared, 'Today, on this 'Freedom Day', I have been forced to take the heart-breaking decision not to open my Cinderella.'

Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella began previews last night at the Gillian Lynne Theatre. The show took the stage after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that the re-opening of West End theatres had been delayed to July 19, but that he was working with Webber on a plan to make the show's previous plans work, allowing the show to open.

Earlier this week, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that the full re-opening of West End theatres has been delayed to July 19, but added that he planned to work with Webber on a plan to make the show's previous plans work. Today, Webber has officially responded to the offer.

Andrew Lloyd Webber says he was 'surprised' to hear that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson may allow his West End production of Cinderella to go ahead despite the delayed lifting of lockdown restrictions.

News today of a delay in the UK's full re-opening is a devastating blow to West End theatres, which now cannot open at full capacity until July 19. Andrew Lloyd's Webber's new Cinderella, which was due to begin performances on June 25, is one of the shows that will likely suffer from the decision, though Johnson admitted that he is currently in talks with Webber about the issue.

The world premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella, the first new production to open after the coronavirus pandemic, will be at the Gillian Lynne Theatre on 25th June.
