Since then, “Cinderella” has seen a successful run on Broadway and London’s Westend Theater and has been performed in countless community theaters and high school and college programs. The family-friendly story line and magical on stage transformations have made it a popular show for all ages.

This musical adaptation claims to stay true to the well known plot the young woman named Ella who is stuck with her evil stepmother and stepsisters once her dad passes away, while also adding some surprising twists that audiences will enjoy. 

Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” features 26 songs throughout two acts and includes all of the characters that audiences know and love. People will be sure to laugh along in their seats as they watch the goofiness of the story unfold.
