What’s the musical all about?
Sharing details of the plot, book writer Emerald Fennell reveals: “It has everything we all love about Cinderella. It’s a fairytale, it’s a romance, it’s a story about finding yourself.
“We start with a town of Belleville which is the most fairytale town that every existed and what happens when Cinderella is a girl who lives there and finds it just as exhausting as any of us would if we lived in a fairytale.
“Part of that world is the world of the Godmother who is this terrifying, megalomaniacal plastic surgeon come couturier who has made everyone in that town the way they look.
“What if Prince Charming is gone? And instead his younger brother who is not unlike Cinderella in that he’s always been overlooked suddenly has to fill those enormous boots. It was about starting from a place of friendship and now suddenly everything has changed.”
For now an original studio cast album is available for pre-order, currently due for release in July.
