Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella is a recent Broadway adaptation of the classic musical. Ella dreams of escaping the drudgery of a life under her stepmother’s thumb while Topher, the prince and future king, questions his role as a leader. A fairy godmother disguised as a beggar orchestrates events for them to meet, so they can help each other learn who they truly are. Winner of the 2013 Tony Award for the Best Revival of a Musical, the production features Rodgers and Hammerstein’s beloved songs, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible,” and “Ten Minutes Ago.” These numbers accompany a contemporary story that is both romantic and hilarious.
