Rodger and Hammerstein’s Cinderella is an inspiring, modern Cinderella for everyone, where “you make your wishes come true.” This is not your typical Cinderella– she is a strong woman who helps the Prince fulfill his destiny to lead his kingdom in a just and fair way. It is a robust and rich theatrical experience with complex music and stupendous, hand-crafted costumes.
