Cast Set For Rodgers & Hammerstein's CINDERELLA at Beef & Boards

Two Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre newcomers will star in Cinderella, opening May 28. The enchanting Rodgers & Hammerstein musical is the Family Show of Beef & Boards' 2026 Season.

Impossible things happen every day in the wonderfully imaginative world of fairy tales. Pumpkins become carriages, the most beautiful ball gown appears with the wave of a wand, and it takes just one dance to fall in love. Cinderella discovers all this and more in this enchanting tale, perfectly paired with the musical styling of Rodgers and Hammerstein. The incomparable duo originally wrote their version for television in 1957, with Julie Andrews as Cinderella. It was recreated in 1965 with Lesley Ann Warren, and again for a new generation in 1997, starring Brandy as Cinderella with Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother.

The cast features Grace Ellis Solomon as Cinderella and Carmine Mastrokostas as Prince Charming. Returning to the Beef & Boards stage to join them are Craig Underwood (Heartbreak Hotel, The Little Mermaid, Fiddler on the Roof) as the King, Karen Pappas (Church Basement Ladies, Grumpy Old Men, It's A Wonderful Life) as the Queen, Amanda Butterbaugh (The Addams Family, Nunsense) as Stepmother, and Chanel Edwards-Frederick (Waitress) as the Fairy Godmother.

Cinderella is directed by Elizabeth Stark Payne and choreographed by Sally Scharbrough.

As Beef & Boards' 2026 Family Show, Cinderella tickets for children ages 3-15 receive a $10 discount.
