The new interpretation of the story puts Cinderella in a place of power, and demonstrates that  a determined young woman can change the world around her, and make her dreams come true.” Agnew reflected, “...to bring a show of this scale to Millbrook is an exciting marker of our future. It is a delight to see a grand musical back on our stage, and I hope it inspires our patrons as much as it has inspired me.” To supplement the show, join the cast for Cinderella’s Royal Ball, a special pre show party and brunch on June 25 beginning at 11:00 am.
