This holiday season, the Long Beach Shakespeare Company will welcome audiences into a re-imagining of the beloved fairytale with Cinderella's Magical Christmas, written and directed by Terry Hill and produced by Holly Leveque. Featuring a score drawn from the catalogues of Irving Berlin, George & Ira Gershwin, and Jerome Kern, this production blends familiarity with fresh perspective-because in this version, the story we love gets a few new twists.
In Cinderella's Magical Christmas, the stepmother is not the stereotypical villain, but a woman wrestling with misplaced anger, and the stepsisters are not grotesque caricatures, but teenagers finding their way. The production invites us to reconsider family dynamics, identity, and forgiveness in a gently modern light.
Audiences will be treated to beloved songs from the Great American Songbook-underscoring joyful, tender, and comedic moments alike-while a playful and heartfelt story unfolds, one that feels at home for families yet resonates for anyone seeking warmth, hope, and a little theatrical sparkle this season.
Performances run at the Helen Borgers Theatre (4250 Atlantic Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90807) from November 21 through December 7, 2025, with showtimes including evenings at 8:00 PM and matinees at 2:00 PM.
