Little princesses will love the magical retelling of the classic Cinderella tale. Plus, with its sparkly, magical performance, this music play is a wonderful companion to all of people who loved fairy tales. When you see Cinderella on the stage becomes a shining princess from a poor, dirty girl with the help of her fairy godmother, you will believe in your heart: Nothing is impossible!

A fairy tale from the collection of Charles Perrault. Cinderella, a young girl, is forced by her stepmother and stepsisters to do heavy housework and relaxes by sitting among the cinders by the fireplace. One evening, when the prince of the kingdom is holding a ball, Cinderella's fairy godmother visits her, magically dresses her for the ball, turns a pumpkin into a magnificent carriage for her, warns her not to stay past midnight, and sends her off. Cinderella captivates the prince at the ball but leaves just as midnight is striking, and in her haste she drops a slipper; as the story is usually told in English, the slipper is made of glass. She returns home with her fine clothes turned back into rags and her carriage a pumpkin again. The prince searches throughout the kingdom for the owner of the slipper. Cinderella is the only one whom it fits, and the prince marries her.

“I’m thrilled we found Peter. He is the quintessential Prince —handsome, charming, and blessed with a beautiful voice,”

 

“Not only do he and Lea have great chemistry, their voices sound spectacular together. I suspect audiences will fall in love with him the way we did at the auditions.”
