The Cinderella National Tour is coming close to me this week. I was wondering if anyone has seen it and would recommended it. I never saw the Broadway production and I am hoping this is similar and that the sets and talent are on point. I'd love to hear any input

I haven't seen it, but it's non-equity so I wouldn't expect it to be at the same level.
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

I saw it when it came to Austin. I won the $30 lottery, otherwise I probably wouldn't have shelled out the cash. I never saw the Broadway production so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but I enjoyed it. Definitely hypes up some of the campy moments, definitely aimed at younger audiences, but overall still fun for an adult. The sets and costuming were really beautiful, but the quick costume changes (at least on my night) weren't as spectacular as they were on Broadway. The cast sounded great, and Marie was a stand-out performance.
I wouldn't call it a 'must see' production, but if you're looking for a fun night of theatre then I definitely recommend it.

I saw it past October. I had some apprehension because it was a non-equity tour, but I was finally really satisfied. As far as I can tell (from the promotional material), the set and the costume are identical to the equity tour. The lead cast are good. They cast actors who sound a little like Laura Osnes and Santino Fontana. Leslie Jackson, who played Maria (godmother) really stole the show, even though she is quite young for the role. Her version of «There is music in you» is amazing (Here is a link of her singing in Ragtime non-equity tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9zvVUrO560).
I saw the production in the beginning, so I guess the production might have improved. The actress who played Cinderella was not the best dancer. And most of the joke said by the stepmother sound flat. Most of them didn’t receive laugh at all. Nevertheless, my sister and I have a great night.
Maybe I do not speak English as well as you, but I can perfectly pronounce the names of all characters of Les Misérables.
