In the words of Jules Massenet, we invite you to "to escape from dark realities and to believe in the fabulous." This delightful and humorous retelling of the classic rags-to-riches folk tale will surely enchant you! It's the story of a young woman who has, until now, only been allowed to shine from behind the scenes. Set in 1950s L.A., Cinderella enlists the help of her glamorous fairy godmother to receive a true Hollywood makeover and attend the Pantages’ Ball, filled with celebrities, opportunist stepsisters, and a real, live prince!
Sung in English, with a live orchestra.
