Posted on
In a parallel universe, [***Cinderella***](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/4313/cinderella-tickets.aspx) would have been opening for previews very soon. Unfortunately, the [**Gillian Lynne Theatre**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/59/gillian-lynne-theatre.aspx)'s doors remain closed, at least for the time being. But at least now we finally get a long-awaited teaser of the show's fabulous musical numbers. Watch a 30-second clip from the music video below of **Carrie Hope Fletcher** ([***Heathers***](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/3137/heathers-the-musical-tickets.aspx), [***Les Miserables***](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/197/les-miserables-tickets.aspx)) performing the show's new song "Far Too Late" in an empty auditorium at [**Her Majesty's Theatre**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/her-majestys-theatre-london), home to **Andrew Lloyd Webber**'s [***Phantom of the Opera***](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/phantom-of-the-opera-tickets).
### Andrew Lloyd Webber throws shade as he dedicates song to the Government
In the full video clip, which can be viewed [**here on Vimeo**](https://player.vimeo.com/video/457682740), **Andrew Lloyd Webber** called **Carrie Hope Fletcher** a "fantastic singer" and made a point to dedicate the debut of the new song "Far Too Late" to the UK Government and the governments of various countries, stating: "*We're getting to the point where it is far too late. We want to get back to the theatre again. We want to be open*."
