The production was originally announced for last year, but a devastating fire that scorched NSMT (which is now restored) caused it to be cancelled after only four performances. Directed by Charles Repole, it will star Lew (The Threepenny Opera) in the title role, Ryan Silverman as the Prince, Tony Award-nominee Brennan (Candide, Little Johnny Jones), Burrell (Threepenny Opera, Thoroughly Modern Millie) as Queen Constantina, Johnson (Bare) as Portia, Chittick (The Pajama Game, Sweet Charity) as Joy, David Coffee as King Maximilian, Lisa McMillan (Moose Murders) as the Stepmother and Gregory Sheppard as Herald.
The ensemble will include Tabb, Kristen Calgaro, Debbi Fuhrman, Paul J. Gallagher, Thom Graham, Kathleen Hatch, Garett Hawe, Arielle Jacobs, Jane Labanz, Andrew Pacho, Katie Rayle and Nathan Scherich. Eleven children from local neighborhoods will also be featured in the production. "We are thrilled to bring back the magic of Cinderella this summer," said Jon Kimbell, NSMT's Artistic Director and Executive Producer. "As we welcome many familiar faces, we are also excited to work with new cast members and creative staff. Their fresh vision combined with NSMT's theatrical magic, a beautiful Rodgers and Hammerstein score and memorable characters promise to make Cinderella a favorite for all generations." The show "was originally created for television in 1957 by the legendary musical team of Rodgers and Hammerstein (Oklahoma!, The Sound of Music, Carousel). When it was later adapted for the stage, Cinderella became an instant success and has captivated audiences ever since. This elegant and clever story about love and hope will doubly thrill its audiences with dazzling special effects and beautiful music." The scores includes "Impossible," "In My Own Little Corner," and "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?".Videos
