Video: Ben Has a Ball with Choreo from BAD CINDERELLA

Oh, hi everybody

It's been to your Broadway but have been Cameron. Hello, you big beautiful Broadway world

I was just rehearsing my piano skills, but I think what's better use of time right now is doing some dancing

because you're watching another episode of Textica! Today's all right. Today is all about

Bad Cinderella and I've got a t-shirt. I'm joined by the dance captain from Bad Cinderella

which is the campiest crampiest rump on Broadway right now. It is completely bonkers in such a fabulous fun way

And I'm here and very intimidated by, Scoot over. And Rob Messella is here

Hi, friends. Okay, what you guys don't know watching at home is that we are recording this on a two show day

And these two are ready to rock and teach me some bad Sydney choreography

while also simultaneously trying to figure out what the show today is going to be

and their heads as dance captains. So if you see their eyes all back in their heads

it's either because I'm terrible or because they're like, oh yeah, but James has got to go into slot too

All right, so we get to it. Yes. Let's dance. Are you ready to have a dance tap dance a time? Oh

Okay, so we're doing a little bit from the opening number, which is Luns and Roses

Way up. Also known as Beauty is our duty, which is our motto in Belvo

What's your favorite? I mean, I, uh... Cigrant and Diet Coke? Yeah, pretty much

Old school ladies, like, oh, it's Broadway, okay. Yeah? Yeah, we do a lot of kicks

The girls do a lot of kicks. So definitely some white stretch. Okay, let's not do that. Yeah

Some soft. Push up some crunches. I was going to say, and get the misty on your body. Literally

Yeah, I've seen the videos. But you have the hunts, they do, you know, lots of push-ups in the show

They have to. So let's talk about, like, because you're in the moment today

Like, it's morning, you get the call. Do you guys immediately connect with one of

another, if you're not recording in Faddoos series, do you connect with one another and say

hey, boo-hoo's out and kiddie's gotta go in and do you consult or do you kind of know

the groove at the stage of the game Well so I mean there sort of two things that Rob a guy who a fan captain And I in the playing company and she swing So Robin picks up all right with slack because I can do a lot of the

right, right. So she picks up a lot of slap. So if we need to connect with something

we'll ask some stage management, we'll totally have a conversation in the morning

there's something new. But all our swings and understays are so on top of it that

most of the time, like even today, we're someone new going to track, there's not a lot of

concern. So we go, okay, let's touch a couple things, but like, we all feel very confident

everyone because everyone's always something you can never imagine, right? You're like, oh

okay, so we've got to go on in their mission, but we're going to go off for this day. Yeah, we've had a mid-show, you know, for all, so we've had last minute, you know
