Atlanta's nationally acclaimed ALLIANCE THEATRE presents present Cinderella and Fella, a contemporary musical spin on the Cinderella fairytale. Rosemary Newcott, the Sally G. Tomlinson Artistic Director of Theatre for Youth and Families, directs this family friendly one-act production. Cinderella and Fella will run twice a day on Saturdays and Sundays, now through April, 2017. Opening night is tonight, March 21, and BroadwayWorld has a first look at The cast in action below!
Written by Atlanta playwright Janece Shaffer (Troubadour, The Geller Girls) with music & lyrics by Shaffer and Atlanta composer, music director, and actor S. Renee Clark, Cinderella and Fella is more high-tops than glass slipper and is fueled by the magic of lightning bugs, singing cicadas, and oozing mud. The young prince, who was raised by an overbearing parent, searches the kingdom for a best friend ready for adventure. Cinderella, who has spent countless days pulling her ungrateful stepmother around in her tiny house, fits the bill. Cinderella and Fella is a story for this generation's little princes and princesses, filled with humor and wonder.
The cast for Cinderella and Fella includes Terry Burrell (Step Mom), S. Renee Clark (Spirit Mom), Courtenay Collins and Marcie Millard (Queen Shelayley/Squirrel), Molly Coyne (Vamnesia/Porcupine), Scott E. DePoy (BoBo), Jeremiah Parker Hobbs (Prince Maurice), India Tyree (Cinderella), and Brian Walker (Lavoris).
The creative team includes Kat Conley (Set Design), Sydney Roberts (Costume Design) Clay Benning (Sound Design), and Jake DeGroot (Lighting Design). Jason Hines serves as the Puppet Coach and Ameenah Kaplan is the Movement Consultant.
