In a statement released on Sunday by Lord Lloyd-Webber's Really Useful Group, the composer said "mounting a new show in the midst of Covid” had been an "unbelievable challenge”. Anew production of Cinderella will open in New Yorkin 2023.
There was astonishment at the way in which news of the show's closure reached current and future members of the Cinderella company over the bank holiday weekend.
Summer Strallen, who had been due to join the cast, said she had found out about it from an online news story and that her agent had received an email. Strallen said on Instagram Live that she had been due to start rehearsals in June and had been for a wig fitting three days earlier for her role as the queen, which she had expected to play for one year.
Luke Latchman, who had also been due to join the show, tweeted: “Imagine-planning in your head 100 times what you're going to say when it's announced. Telling your friends and family you have something coming and can't wait to tell them about it. Knowing that career-changing West End lead was coming. Then you see a tweet and it's all gone."
