'Bad Cinderella' on Broadway review: Bad is right. Why did Andrew Lloyd Webber choose to spend time on this?
Linedy Genao and Jordan Dobson in"Bad Cinderella" at the Imperial Theatre in New York.
The first problem with “Bad Cinderella” is the title. Not exactly bait for parents with kids. The second is that Cinderella, rebelliously played by Linedy Genao as if she were performing an amped-up version of the lead in “Juno,” is not an unknown who is stuck in the scullery and performs only for the birds.She has a Stepmother and two safely non-ugly sisters, played by Sami Gayle and Morgan Higgins. But Cinderella herself is, well, bad, as per the title.
At one point toward the end of the show, Cinderella starts obsessing over her desire to be free. “When were you not free?” you ask yourself. “It’s not like we saw you scrubbing floors.”
