Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella, produced on Broadway as Bad Cinderella, is a musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by David Zippel, and a book by Emerald Fennell. Loosely adapted from the classic story of the same name, plot changes include recast gender relationships and thematic exploration of beauty shaming. Cinderella changes her appearance to secure love, but discovers it is better to be true to oneself.
After beginning West End previews in June 2021, London performances were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The show ultimately opened in August 2021 to mostly positive reviews, and ran until June 2022. After some changes to the show, a Broadway transfer retitled Bad Cinderella opened in March 2023, following a month of preview performances. Reviews were largely negative, and after failing to receive any Tony Award nominations, the production closed in June 2023.
A concept album for the show was released in July 2021 and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.
