ABOUT CINDERELLA
Cinderella the Enchanted version is inspired by the acclaimed 1997 teleplay starring Brandy and Whitney Houston, this version of the magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance.
“The new version has a social conscience, with a multiracial cast and a feminist twist...this Cinderella uses special effects sparingly. It emphasizes the inner magic of character, self-reliance and love.” – Caryn James, The New York Times
This contemporary take on the classic tale features Rodgers & Hammerstein's most beloved songs alongside an up-to-date, hilarious libretto. It is fun for the whole family.
