Originally presented as a television extravaganza, this famous fairy tale has been re-fashioned and set to music by two great masters of the musical. The characters are given greater depth plus a more human quality, and it is only through Cinderella’s innocent faith in a miracle that allows her wish to go to the ball to come true! “Cinderella” was nominated for nine Tony Awards including Best Book of a Musical and Best Revival of a Musical.
The cast includes Camryn Nailah (Ella), Elton Tanega (Prince Topher), Sonsharae Tull (Sebastian), Rajdulari (Marie/Fairy Godmother), Kara Morrissey (Charlotte), Adrienne Asterita (Madame), Logan Traver (Jean-Michele), Stephanie Garcia (Gabrielle), and Preston Adams (Lord Pinkleton), with ensemble members Gabe Morales, Hanna Dotson, Kerri Emswiller, Shadiya Lyons, Andy Nuanhngan, Dallas Slankard, Ronald McQueen, and Cory Klements.
This contemporary take on the classic tale features Rodgers & Hammerstein’s most beloved songs, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible” and “Ten Minutes Ago,” alongside an up-to-date, hilarious and romantic libretto by Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane.
Music by Richard Rodgers, Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein, Book by Douglas Carter Beane, Directed & Choreographed by Christopher Page-Sanders, Music direction by Dr. Michael Williams. November 26, 2021 – January 9, 2022, Nickelsen Auditorium.
