In a Twitter announcement below, Lloyd Webber confirmed that a cast recording album had been recorded while in lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic—hinting it could be released before Cinderella opens at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in 2021. Fletcher previously sang from the score in a video released by Lloyd Webber last month.
