2025 Ensemble Production: Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella
More About This Show
In this dazzling reimagining of the classic tale, Cinderella brings magic, mischief, and a modern twist! Ella is a spirited young woman trapped under her wicked stepmother’s rule, until her Fairy Godmother whisks her off to a royal ball where she captures the heart of the dashing, but directionless, Prince Topher. As midnight approaches, Ella must flee, leaving behind only a glass slipper. Packed with humor, heart, and iconic Rodgers & Hammerstein songs, this Cinderella is a fresh, empowering fairytale for today’s audience.
