The Children's Theatre of Cincinnati Presents CINDERELLA, Opening 4/12

The Children's Theatre of Cincinnati ends its 88th MainStage Season with "Disney's Cinderella KIDS," directed and choreographed by Jay Goodlett, music and lyrics by Mack David, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston, book adapted and additional lyrics by Marcy Heisler, music adapted and arranged by Bryan Louiselle, based on the screenplay by Ken Anderson and Homer Brightman.

The timeless fairy tale meets the magic of Disney in this adaptation of the treasured animated film. Poor Cinderella is endlessly mistreated by her wicked stepmother and stepsisters, and denied a chance to go to the Royal Ball. With a little help from her mice friends, and a lot of help from her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella goes to the ball, meets the Prince, and falls in love! With a beautiful score including "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" and the classic "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo," this musical will charm its way into your heart, and remind you that dreams really can come true.
