Cinderella

The magical rags-to-riches fairy tale is retold in this comical musical. Cinderella, her wicked stepmother and stepsisters, a zany fairy godmother, and a handsome prince all come to life on stage.

The Prince Street Players’ adaptation of Cinderella is a magical retelling of a most beloved story and a tuneful, fast-paced piece, specifically created to perform for young audiences. The English pantomime-style comedy and direct asides to the audience are especially appreciated by younger patrons.

A godmother, of the fairy variety, inquires of her two helpers about the neediest case in the kingdom. Not surprisingly, they introduce her to Ella, who, after being orphaned, was left in the care of her wicked stepmother and stepsisters. Forced to use the kitchen as a bedroom, Ella can often be found daydreaming among the cinders from the fireplace, inspiring her stepfamily to rename her “Cinderella.” Wand in hand, Godmother sets about to change the girl’s life. With a dash of belief, a sprinkle of magic and a pinch of true love, Cinderella has her life changed for good.

Approximate run time 1 hour.  No intermission.
