roughly four months after opening night. The producers announced it will play its final show at the Imperial Theatre on June 4.
It’s been a rough go for “Bad Cinderella,” which suffered from bad reviews and lackluster ticket sales. It was also snubbed at the Tonys, failing to receive a single nomination. By the time the curtain comes down for good, “Bad Cinderella” will have played 33 preview performances and 85 regular performances.
It’s the latest in a long line of recent Broadway closures, including Webber’s classic “The Phantom of the Opera,” “Beetlejuice,” “KPOP” and “Ain’t No Mo.'” The shuttering of “Bad Cinderella” and “Phantom,” which was the longest-running show in history, breaks Webber’s 43-year streak of shows on Broadway.
A feminist retelling, of sorts, of the classic fairy tale, “Bad Cinderella” opened on London’s West End in the summer of 2021 after several pandemic-related stops and starts. The show, about an outcast who eventually realizes appearances aren’t everything and develops a new take on the concept of “happily ever after,” closed the following June before transferring to Broadway this March.
