Barn Theatre Presents CINDERELLA This Month

The classic fairytale dreams come true in the Barn Theatre's production of the family friendly delightful musical, Rodgers & Hammerstein's CINDERELLA, playing July 12 through 24.

This fresh and exciting adaptation of Rodgers & Hammerstein's 1957 made-for-television musical (which starred Julie Andrews) brings adventure, romance, and a miraculous kingdom to the stage. One splendid night the famously wistful maiden Cinderella (played by 1st Year Apprentice Emily Ling Mei meets her Fairy Godmother (Returning Guest Artist Shinnerrie Jackson) who helps grant her wish to go to the ball! CINDERELLA combines the story's classic elements - glass slippers, pumpkin, and a beautiful ball - along with some surprising twists. She not only fights for her own dreams but forces the prince (played by Aaron Czarnecki) to open his eyes to the world around him and realize his dreams, too. Also in the cast are Barn favorites Penelope Alex, as Madame, John Jay Espino as Sebastian, Patrick Hunter as Lord Pinkleton and the entire Barn company. With music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, a new book by Douglas Carter Beane, and original book by Oscar Hammerstein II, this new revival of CINDERELLA opened on Broadway March 3, 2013, and successfully ran for 2 years.
