    Cinderella - an amazing fairytale

    by EnD2011 on 5/8/18Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The play was wonderful. The seats even tho high up were fantastic. My son who is 7 LOVED the play. He LOVED prince Charming's voice and even gave him a standing ovation. Well done!

    Cinderella

    by jimbobmd on 5/8/18Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Venue was fine. Singers were good. Story was a bait -and-switch! We thought when they say Rogers and Hammerstein, you'd get the CLASSIC story and song. The little political edge was silly and un-needed. kids under 16 did not "get" the idea of a character fighting to stop "land siezure'; and a 'good' stepsister working WITH Ella is a farce. Even as a liberal-leaning voter I was disappointed with the politicizing of the classic. NOT RECOMMENDED

    Liked the original story better

    by Anonymous on 5/6/18Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I think the classic story was changed too much and the fairytale part of it took a backseat.

    A fantastic take on a classic story. Fun and engaging for the whole family! The show kept things clean for younger ones while managing to sneak some humor in for the adults.

    Great show with humor

    by jvzeppa on 5/6/18Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The mother of Cinderella was five star the fairy god mother awesome the king and his side kick awesome Cinderella didn’t miss a beat. Excellent family show with a twist of humor installed from the actors. Supporting cast chemistry was prefect.

    Good for kids, mediocre for adults.

    by critical12 on 5/5/18Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The singing and dancing in this production was good, but the acting awkward. It was probably a great show for the kids, but just wasn't on par with what was expected for the price of this ticket. If you are adult fan of this Cinderella story, I'd skip it.

    Cinderella

    by MCale22 on 5/5/18Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I took my 5 year old thinking it was the original Cinderella. It was a lot of dry humor and I thought a lot of negative undertone. It ended happy but what bring up the negativity.

    Loved this version

    by JohnsNana on 5/5/18Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    A little twist on the Cinderella movie, but done brilliantly. Little long for a youngster, but still great.

    I guess I’m a purist

    by Candbgirl on 5/5/18Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I love the original Rogers and Hammerstein play Cinderella . The story is sweet and the music is wonderful. I suppose I knew that this version was “updated” but I had no idea the whole play was redone. The focus is no longer on Cinderella and her Prince. It’s more about world conditions and political movements. A whole new character was added and some of the fun original characters have reduced roles. The story seemed disjointed and didn’t flow well at all. The acting was great(men much better) and the music was as wonderful as I remembered it to be. The costumes and sets were beautiful. I guess I should have done my homework so I knew how much the story and underlining theme was changed. If you are going for a night of musical theater you’ll be satisfied. If you want pure R&H magic this isn’t it.

    Great night

    by Dewey3133 on 5/4/18Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I took my daughter and she loved it. It was a nice twist to the original and would definitely recommend taking the kids and making it a wonderful night.

    Cinderella

    by DW1755 on 5/4/18Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I was a little disappointed in this production. The story line was different than the version I used to watch as a child. There was a lot of things thrown into it that I found boring and unnecessary. I did find the characters entertaining and the signing was magnificent. There was a lot of humor that was appriciated.

    Disappointed by New Story (or lack thereof)

    by haylinds on 5/4/18Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The sets were great, the special effects, sharp, and Cinderella was lovely and talented (as were many of the cast); but, I missed the memo that the original story had been changed for Broadway (around 2013, it seems). I can appreciate the integration of caring for the poor -- in my opinion, that's something a true Prince Charming would care about. But, from the point Cinderella *doesn't* leave her glass slipper on the castle stairs, I felt the writing/dialogue rushed downhill and never recovered. It was disjointed filler, and the nervous, dorky prince and town crier characters were so much so that it was distracting; they couldn't sell me on the noble desires. As for the female empowerment piece, yes, please give me that, but even it was lost as Cinderella's main focus became encouraging and doting on the prince to...become who he is? It felt weird -- not empowering. When the book suddenly became important, and the audience was expected to go along with "Chapter 2!!!!" as the answer to everything, I almost walked out. My mother leaned over to me and asked, "What happened to the story?" I have no idea, Mom.

    Save your money

    by Mspaigempa on 5/4/18Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The title leads you to believe you are going to relive those wonderful childhood memories, nope! They updated the story, it was ridiculous. Cinderella and the Prince has mediocre voices. Totally disappointed!

    Confusion

    by Jamisonb on 5/3/18Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Confusion is the only word I can come up with....All the changes made to the beloved story were very difficult for my grandchildren to understand. The performers were great, the music is outstanding but the liberties taken with the story line left us a little disappointed. I would recommend this show, but be forewarned this is not the usual Cinderella story.

    Cinderella was a disappointment.

    by Robocritic on 5/2/18Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    My grandchildren expected the "fairytale" version of Cinderella, but this play was a disappointment and even boring at times. We recommend you leave a good story alone!
