‘Bad Cinderella’ review: A wacko storybook dumpster fire on Broadway

The Broadway musical ‘Bad Cinderella’ is a wacky, offbeat, and chaotic experience that is sure to leave audiences scratching their heads.

From the very start, this musical adaptation of the classic fairy tale is completely off the rails. The creative team behind the show has taken the beloved children’s story and twisted it into a zany, surrealistic romp that strays far from the source material.

The show follows the traditional story of Cinderella, but with a wild, modern twist. Instead of a fairy godmother, we get a ‘Fairy God-Bouncer’ who helps the protagonist get into the ball. The show’s villain is the wicked step-mother, but her evil plan is to turn Cinderella into a modern pop star.

The musical numbers are all wild and outrageous, with some truly bizarre choreography. The costumes and sets are similarly over-the-top and cartoonish.

The show’s performances are strong, but the material is so wacky that it’s hard to take seriously. The dialogue is often cheesy and the story is more confusing than compelling.

In the end, ‘Bad Cinderella’ is a wacko storybook dumpster fire on Broadway. Fans of the original fairy tale may be confused and disappointed, but those who don’t mind a wild, offbeat experience may find something to enjoy.
