Mazz Murray News

Originally written in the 50s by musical theatre duo of wonders Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II for television but then adapted for the stage multiple times, Cinderella saw actresses of the likes of Julie Andrews and, more recently, Broadway favourite Laura Osnes take on the title role. Now, Cadogan Hall hosted a one-off staged concert of the piece that turned the venue into a bona fide enchanting scene. With the London Musical Theatre Orchestra setting the mood for Christine Allado and Jac Yarrow to fall in love directed by Jonathan O'Boyle, the production was a stunner.
