Cinderella on Tour
Cinderella is unique among the Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals in that it was the famous pair's only musical written for television. The 1957 debut of Cinderella featured musical-theater legend Julie Andrews in the title role, playing handmaiden to her stepmother and stepsisters after her father's passing.
In keeping with the storyline of the classic folktale, the musical follows Cinderella as she hopes for a better life, or at least one far away from her family members' demands. She is granted that wish by a fairy godmother who, through her magical transformations of the young woman and a nearby pumpkin, helps brings Cinderella tantalizingly close to the destiny about which she dreams.
In 2013, a new take on Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella debuted on Broadway, with a script updated by Douglas Carter Beane (To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Xanadu). The updated version of the story adds a few more characters and intrigue-filled plot twists, and — most notably — makes one stepsister at least somewhat sympathetic to Cinderella's plight.
The soundtrack also includes four Rodgers & Hammerstein songs that weren't in the original run of the show, which further expand the range of the plot. Laura Osnes (Grease, South Pacific) and Santino Fontana (Frozen, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) originated the roles of Ella and Prince Topher on Broadway, while Carly Rae Jepsen and Keke Palmer also played the title character during the production's Broadway run.
The Broadway run of Beane's Cinderella revival closed in January 2015, but the show is still enchanting audiences around the world with its touring production. Starring Kaitlyn Mayse as Ella, Lukas James Miller as Topher, and Zina Ellis as the fairy godmother Marie, this Cinderella demonstrates how with a little magic and a sprinkle or two of fairy dust, anyone can be who they want to be.
My husband and I love these kinds of shows and we were not disappointed. My 8 yr old daughter was looking forward to this and really enjoyed every bit of it. The surprise came with my 4 yr old son who were didn't know if he'd be interested or amused enough but HE WAS! He loved the humor and laughed right along with us! So glad I got these tickets!!!
I really enjoyed it. Had a lot of wonderful surprises.. Highly recomended!!!
My 7 year old granddaughter was mesmerized by the production. She left to her feet in excitement several times during the show applauding excitedly. A night she will remember always and a gift from Grandma!
Not aimed for young children... we were expecting a different experience. The venue is not kid friendly. If an adult sits in front of a child, the child will not have a view.
The costume changes were really really good. The audience was very responsive. The whole thing was very magical. We enjoyed it very much. The ages in our group ranged from 5 to 85 years old and included both male and female. We all loved it!
It was an overall good experience. The cast was great. We really enjoyed it.
I went with our 5 year old daughter and my mother. All 3 generations had a great time! I wasn’t sure how my daughter would do with the “twist” part, but she was loved it!
We really enjoyed the show! My granddaughters loved it and kept talking about it since the performance. They would like to see another show soon.
I took both of my daughters, ages 11 and 13, to see Cinderella. The production was really amazing. We enjoyed the show from start to finish and were blown away at the choreography and talent of the cast. Wonderful evening!
Such an amazing performance!!! Perfectly executed, the orchestra did a spectacular job, the stage and props were on point, and the actors were so wonderful I was taken back to my childhood when I first saw the movie!! I would see it again!
