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.
We loved the show! The cast was amazing from start to finish. The singing, dancing, acting were all superb! Fairy godmother’s voice was out of this world, and Cinderella’s wardrobe changes were like something from a magician’s act!
My 13 year old daughter and I saw the show on Sunday at 1:30pm. It was everything that I hoped it would be. The music resonated with us long after the performance ended. We have been humming and singing the songs non-stop! Thank you for a light-hearted and heart warming experience for us. We will be more frequent patrons of shows like these at the Tennessee Theatre.
Awesome show! If you’re considering going..do it!!!
I loved the play, the theatre, even the back row seats in the balcony were amazing! Excellent !
It was the best night for my daughter. She loved the show so much. She smiled, laughed, sang, cried at the end cause it was over. I think there are more plays for us in the future. I hope with better people to sit in front us. They tried to ruin the experience for her but I didn't let it happen. Thank you talent for a great night and memories.
Loved the humor, costumes, singing and dancing! My daughter loved every minute and she’s only 2. She was fascinated through out all of it
Fabulous play! Amazing cast! Overall GREAT experience. The Tennessee Theatre NEVER disappoints! Will definitely make Broadway at the Tennessee a thing from now on
My husband and I took our granddaughter as a birthday celebration. As soon as the show ended, she told us that it was so amazing. We all three enjoyed it very much.
Cinderella was absolutely wonderful! It brought back memories of when I saw the movie (not animated) on TV many years ago. The music and costumes were wonderful!
I didn’t attend the event. When I went to Violins of Hope a couple of weeks before it was an unpleasant experience and I did not want to repeat it!! Everyone was lined up down the block in the freezing cold and when we finally got to the door their was a black female security guard barking at us and talking to us like we were all a bunch of children. I didn’t appreciate it at all!!
This show was completely magical. The costumes, sets, and props were rivaled only by the fantastic actors. A very enjoyable evening at the Tennessee Theatre!
Kaitlyn Mayse and Zina Ellis lead a wonderful singing troupe that was truly enjoyable. Thanks for an entertaining evening.
This was my third and fourth time seeing this show, and it was every bit as magical as the first time!! The cast, the costume changes, the scenery, and the show itself are sheer perfection, and I am so incredibly sad that the tour is closing this year!! Go see it while you can and support this beautiful cast and this magical show! You won't regret it!!
I attended the show with two colleagues. We enjoyed the show and had a wonderful time!
Great seats and the performance was very good and fun.
the play was just as fabulous as the venue! I LOVE broadway shows at the Tennessee Theater!
The cast is so talented , acting, singing, and dancing were wonderful!! We are still trying to figure out the magic of costume changes.
Fabulous show with great voices, amazing costume changes (how did she do that?) and fabulous acting!
The show so exceeded my expectations! The costumes, the special effects and the talent of cast made the experience just delightful!
Met all of my expectations and more...the voices, the dancing, the staging were all fabulous...What a joy!!
