A Fairytale Updated, but Still Captivates…with Glass Slippers
Sitting in velvety seats of The Playhouse on Rodney Square, young 8-year-old Brynn exclaims “5 stars!” for this wonderfully refreshing new take on the beloved classic. The plot of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s CINDERELLA has been modernized, keeping us guessing with its unexpected twists, yet maintaining the endearing elements of the tale we all cherish.
Many little Cinderellas were spied throughout the audience, beaming in their fancy dresses and sparkly tiaras. None could resist the bright bouquet of ball gowns waltzing in a delightful display across the stage or the glimmering horse-drawn coach or Cinderella’s dazzling Venetian glass slippers.
We were treated to moments of pure magic as instantaneous, inexplicable rags-to-riches transformations took place before our very eyes!
With its lovable and embraceable cast of characters, this production is a pleasure for young and old.
The Magical Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella enjoyed a run at The Playhouse on Rodney Square through Sunday, February 12, 2017.
