“This extraordinary company creates a strange new brand of excitement." LA PARENT
Almost 4 decades after its world premiere at Santa Monica Playhouse, the beloved Rudie-DeCarlo Family Theatre musical Cinderella is getting a stunning makeover to kick off the 2021 Safe-at-Home Family Theatre Online Series while benefitting the Open-Again Campaign to re-open the Playhouse doors in this, its 61st year.
It’s Cinderella like you’ve never seen her before, with new songs, hilarious special FX, a silent movie segment that will have you falling off your couch, dazzling costumes, amazing magical prestidigitation, and a story about being true to your dreams and loving yourself as you are that's as true to today as it was then - the perfect show to share with the whole family, now that families can share space once again!

“A children’s show that will delight children but won’t bore adults even if they think they have seen every possible twist on the Cinderella story.” reviewplays.com |

“As always, there is a magical and romantic quality about the Family Theatre which lends a special resonance to any work for children produced there.” DRAMA-LOGUE |
"An Enchanting Cinderella!…captivates its young audience, highlighted by fast pacing, fancy costuming and a lovely, unweepy Cinderella…she’s no slouch with a slightly risqué put-down, either, particularly within the context of Rudie and DeCarlo’s trademark Gilbert & Sullivan comic lyrics.” L.A. TIMES
The original internationally-acclaimed Rudie-DeCarlo musical CINDERELLA debuted as part of the Playhouse repertoire in 1984, and after nearly two dozen tours to England, Alaska and Japan, after delighting more than a quarter of a million audience members, young and old, to date, has become the single most requested Santa Monica Playhouse Musical on three continents!
In place of our Spring Support Campaign, tickets to “Cinderella 2021” benefit the Playhouse Open Again Campaign. After over a year with its doors tightly shut, Santa Monica’s iconic theatre is pivoting towards re-opening – but we can’t do it without your help. Please be a Playhouse Ambassador – purchase a ticket and ask your friends to do the same, so we can once again present live theatre for many years to come. It’s a win-win for all.
