Exactly, and I get the set was sparse because of multiple acts going on one after the other but it was literally a woman in a black dress with her ‘uncool grandad’ at a side angle playing the keyboard, which I couldn’t hear much of btw. She would have been fine just her and a track, but it seems ALW needs to sell himself as part of it.I know that she's the main character etc, and it isn't really possible to do ensemble numbers at the moment, but I think I'd like to see the fairy tale cast in pretty costumes because a) they're more fun to look at than black and boots, and b) Cinders is supposed to be a contrast to them. On her own she just doesn't seem very nice.

ALW really brought nothing to the performance. If you didn’t know who he was you really would think Carrie had just brought her creepy old grandad along for the ride. I love some of ALW’s work but he really is such an odd guy - face for the radio as my Grandma would say!Exactly, and I get the set was sparse because of multiple acts going on one after the other but it was literally a woman in a black dress with her ‘uncool grandad’ at a side angle playing the keyboard, which I couldn’t hear much of btw.

I wonder whether she's over-correcting a bit, or in an odd way? In her natural accent, I suspect she'd say (or have said growing up) an L that sounds a bit like a W.While we're on the topic of her terrible pronunciation in Bad Cinderella, does anyone else hear "Cindererra" every damn time she sings? Honestly the song is terrible anyway but that one word is genuinely the most off-putting thing about it for me
Yeah, they looked like they were auditioning for BGT togetherALW really brought nothing to the performance.

A couple of socially distanced dancers or some basic portable scenery would have helped a bit. From these performances it’s really hard to see what the actual production might look like.Yeah, they looked like they were auditioning for BGT together
I heard that interview where he described her as "a bit of a goth" and he sounded like such an old man! I was just waiting for him to describe it as a "funky" show.ALW described her as "a bit of a goth" ...
This has made me choke on my drink
