Douglas Carter Beane's new book re-invents the classic tale of a maid-turned-princess with fresh comedy, wit and satire: with pumpkin, glass slippers, Fairy Godmother and other story elements intact, it is now Cinderella's turn to rescue the Prince, reminding us once again that in a cruel world the act that matters most is kindness.
In addition to musical numbers from the original score — including “In My Own Little Corner”, “Impossible/It's Possible”, “Ten Minutes Ago” and “Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?”, this new production will include several songs from the Rodgers & Hammerstein trunk.
