A prince, a pumpkin, a glass slipper ... the Windham Theatre Guild kicks off their 25th season with history's most enduring fairy tale but with a thoroughly modern twist. It's Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella. Join some of your favorite WTG stars for the love and laughter as they bring this family classic to life on stage through August 1st at the Burton Leavitt Theatre, 779 Main Street, Willimantic. 

Cinderella was the only musical that Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote for television. The CBS-TV original starring 21 year old Julie Andrews was aired live on television on March 31, 1957. The show was re-staged with 18 year old Lesley Ann Warren as Cinderella and aired again on CBS on February 22, 1965. By 1997, Cinderella was produced again for ABC's Wonderful World of Disney and featured an all star cast including Whitney Houston, Whoopi Goldberg, Jason Alexandar, and pop singer Brandy as Cinderella. This hipper funnier version was named the Enchanted Edition.

Pam Pellegrine directs the largest cast that's ever performed together on the Burton Leavitt stage. Music Director is Ken Clark, choreographer is Michelle Swanson, and the stunning costumes were designed by Debbie Warren.

July 24, 25, 30, 31 and August 1 at 7:30pm, and Sunday matinees on July 19 & 26 at 2:00pm. Tickets are $18 for Adults, $15 for students/seniors, and $10 for children under 12. All UConn/ECSU/QVCC students pay $10 with ID. Reserve tickets today by calling 423-2245 or on-line at www.windhamtheatreguild.org. Tickets will also be available at the door.

For everyone who's ever wished their dreams would come true, come be a part of the Windham Theatre Guild's magical, musical story of Cinderella.
