The clock strikes midnight not once, but three times in this classic — retold in a most modern way — from Rodgers + Hammerstein. Because while this tale has its fair share of running away, and yes, a lost glass slipper, it also has some new plots twists and turns before its fairytale ending.
The 2013 Tony® Award-winning Broadway musical Cinderella, from the creators of South Pacific and The Sound of Music, is currently making its Washington-area debut at the National Theatre for a limited engagement.
Of course you know this story of a woman transformed from housemaid to princess; the Cinderella on stage now is a fresh take on the tale. This Cinderella (played by Kaitlyn Davidson) is more than a damsel in distress that enjoys her pumpkin carriage ride and royal ball before the Prince slips on that shoe.
This Cinderella is a contemporary figure living in a fairytale. She has savvy and spirit and thrives on kindness. And while she longs to meet her prince — and escape the cruelty of her home life — she also wants to work to make the world a better place.
Through favorite songs including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible,” “Ten MinutesAgo,” and “Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful?” there’s a twist in the plot (and a lot more politics) in this version of the classic story, which runs only through November 29th.
