The musical is a mess with multiple personality disorder.
For a musical with the drunken confidence to slap the word “Bad” in front of a classic title,
Then there are Lloyd Webber’s lushly orchestrated and tuneful ballads, which — all chandeliers aside — are why we come to any show by him.

The edgy title is misleading. With a terrible book of meme quotes by “Promising Young Woman” writer-director Emerald Fennell, “Bad Cinderella” is really about society’s unfair beauty standards. But they couldn’t very well call it “Not-Blonde Cinderella.” Her one rebel move comes at the beginning when she defaces a memorial statue of Sebastian’s older brother, Prince Charming, who has just died in a war, with a sign that says, “Beauty Sucks.” They definitely couldn’t call it “Smart Cinderella.”
