Cinderella at Diamond Head Theatre

A beloved family musical, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella, starring Julie Andrews, was the most widely viewed TV program in history when first shown in 1957. Subsequent productions in 1965 with Lesley Ann Warren, and 1997 starring Brandy, were just as successful.

The story begins in the village square, as a Herald proclaims: “The Prince is Giving a Ball!” to celebrate the Prince’s 21st birthday. Cinderella, a virtual slave to her stepmother and stepsisters (quite a comical trio), barely hears the furor. Left alone in her corner, she dreams of living an exotic life as a princess or anything other than a servant. When her Fairy Godmother arrives, her wish is granted, and Cinderella is transformed into a beautifully-gowned young lady; her pumpkin into a glittering carriage. Join us as we transport a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true. Cinderella will make your heart soar when the slipper fits. Songs include: “Impossible,” “Ten Minutes Ago” and “Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful.”
