About Cinderella

This timeless musical theater treasure is guaranteed to thrill audiences from ages 9 to 90.

​Cinderella, the beautiful and kind-hearted daughter, sees her world turn upside down when her beloved mother dies, and her pained father remarries another woman, the wicked Lady Tremaine, who has two equally cruel daughters, the jealous Grace and Joy. Things go from bad to worse, when Cinderella’s father dies too, leaving her all alone in the Lady’s clutches serving as her maid-of-all-work! Under those circumstances, a shabby and neglected Cinderella doesn’t stand much of a chance of attending the King’s royal ball - let alone, captivate the handsome Prince - unless she turns to her loving Fairy Godmother who has quite a few tricks up her sleeve. Nevertheless, will the wronged damsel ever find peace - and with it - her own Prince Charming?

The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmark of originality, charm and elegance. Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true, and so was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. 
 
As adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, this romantic fairy tale still warms the hearts of children and adults alike. This Enchanted Edition is inspired by the 1997 teleplay.
