I saw Lauren and I definitely think this is the case. Based on the dialogue and songs alone you need to go in with the budget for alcoholic beverages and a good friend willing to have a good laugh at some of the plot holes, plot sink songs and general tone of the show, but like with Rebecca Trehearn (spelling) who plays the Queen what she was saying script wise was ridiculous but every time she dance I was mesmerised with the sheer quality of her voice and it was the same with Lauren and her belt etc it just makes it so much more of an enjoyable evening even when you realise Cinderella is on her 6th song of standing still on stage alone singing about how sad she isI’m guessing which Cinderella either makes or breaks the show? I have no chance of seeing it (I’m in the US) but from what I gather the show itself isn’t that great, but anybody other than Carrie makes it more bearable? Is that basically it?
The only issue is my mum wants to see it (as I said above mostly for a night out and a good giggle as we’re lucky enough to be able to see the big o don shows like Frozen etc) but I’m torn between seeing Carrie just to see how different it is (and what she’s like as we’ve seen her other roles) or seeing Georgina because I’ve heard she’s amazing and that could salvage some of the “best” songs in the show like I Know I Have a Heart
