"Pick of the Month!” Show Time Magazine
The beloved audience favorite Rudie-DeCarlo musical is getting a stunning multi-media makeover for 2024. It’s Cinderella like you’ve never seen her before, with wonderful songs, hilarious special FX, a silent movie segment that will have you falling out of your seat, 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 at the first telling.
“A delight for the entire family!” LA SPLASH
The whole family will love the handsome prince (who yearns to be loved for himself, not his royal position), silly stepsisters (who ultimately discover that looks really aren't everything), a controlling (but genuinely well-meaning) stepmother, a slightly-ditzy Steampunk Fairygodmother, a more-than-slightly befuddled King and a refreshingly independent, feisty Cinderella.
