Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cinderella may be closing (an announcement made in a way that was hardly handled well) but another Cinderella story comes to the stage with this revival directed by Six co-creator Lucy Moss. It's the story of Elle who loses her (worthless) prince but discovers her brain in the process. Is this going to stretch the grey matter? Probably not, but I recall it as being lots of exuberant fun in the original West End production, and if Moss can make this generate half the oomph of Six, this would probably raise the roof—if the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre had one.
Omigod you guys, meet fashion merchandising major Elle Woods and her college sweetheart Warner Huntington III. Popular, stylish, they have the perfect relationship. That is until Warner heads to Harvard Law School and decides that he needs a more 'serious' kind of girlfriend. Dumped, Elle embarks on a drastic plan to win him back. But, on the way, she discovers that there's more to love - and definitely Elle Woods - than meets the eye. Directed by Lucy Moss, co-writer and co-director of the smash-hit musical SIX.
