With its fresh new take on the beloved tale of a young woman who is transformed from a chambermaid into a princess, this hilarious and romantic Rodgers + Hammerstein's CINDERELLA combines the story's classic elements - glass slippers, pumpkin and a beautiful ball along with some surprising twists. More than just a pretty face with the right shoe size, this Cinderella is a contemporary figure living in a fairytale setting. She is a spirited young woman with savvy and soul who doesn't let her rags or her gowns trip her up in her quest for kindness, compassion and forgiveness. She longs to escape the drudgery of her work at home and instead work to make the world a better place. She not only fights for her own dreams, but forces the prince to open his eyes to the world around him and realize his dreams too.

Kaitlyn Davidson steps into the glass slippers in the title role of Cinderella, which she also understudied in the Broadway production. Davidson previously played the role of Gabrielle on tour. Andy Huntington Jones plays the role of Prince Topher, Cinderella's dashing love interest. Jones was a member of the original Broadway company of Rodgers + Hammerstein's CINDERELLA where he understudied the role of Prince Topher.

The Musical) as Jean-Michele, Kimberly Fauré (R+H's Cinderella, Bullets Over Broadway) as Gabrielle, Blake Hammond (Living on Love, First Date) as Sebastian, Chauncey Packer (Porgy & Bess First National Tour) as Lord Pinkleton and Lulu Picart (Off-Broadway: Disenchanted!) as Charlotte.
