With its fresh new take on the beloved tale of a young woman who is transformed from a chambermaid into a princess, this hilarious and romantic Rodgers + Hammerstein's CINDERELLA combines the story's classic elements - glass slippers, pumpkin, and a beautiful ball along with some surprising twists. More than just a pretty face with the right shoe size, this Cinderella is a contemporary figure living in a fairytale setting. She is a spirited young woman with savvy and soul who doesn't let her rags or her gowns trip her up in her quest for kindness, compassion and forgiveness. She longs to escape the drudgery of her work at home and, instead, work to make the world a better place. She not only fights for her own dreams, but forces the prince to open his eyes to the world around him and realize his dreams, too.

With music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, CINDERELLA was originally written for television -- debuting in 1957 with Julie Andrews as the star. In 2013, the show made its long-overdue Broadway debut with a new book by Douglas Carter Beane based on the original book by Oscar Hammerstein II.

Rodgers + Hammerstein's CINDERELLA is directed by Mark Brokaw and choreographed by Josh Rhodes. Music adaptation, supervision and arrangements are by David Chase, and orchestrations are by Danny Troob. Mr. Beane's book for CINDERELLA blends masterfully with the musical's cherished score, which includes songs such as "In My Own Little Corner," "Impossible/It's Possible," "Ten Minutes Ago," and "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?"

Along with CINDERELLA, Richard Rodgers' and Oscar Hammerstein's legendary musicals include OKLAHOMA!, Carousel, The King and I, South Pacific and The Sound of Music.

The Broadway creative team includes Tony® Award nominated scenic designer Anna Louizos, six- time Tony® Award winning costume designer William Ivey Long, lighting design by Tony® Award winner Kenneth Posner and sound design by Tony® Award nominee Nevin Steinberg.

The CINDERELLA tour is produced by Robyn Goodman, Jill Furman, Stephen Kocis, Edward Walson, Venetian Glass Productions, The Araca Group, Caiola Productions, Roy Furman, Peter May, Sanford Robertson, Eric Schmidt, James Spry and Blanket Fort Productions.
