CINDERELLA – an “Enchanting” Rudie-DeCarlo Family Theatre Musical for kids 2 to 102 at Santa Monica Playhouse

“Pick of the Month!” Show Time Magazine

The beloved Rudie-DeCarlo musical celebrates its 40th anniversary with a stunning multi-media makeover - new songs, hilarious special FX, a silent movie segment that will have you falling out of your seat, dazzling costumes, amazing magical prestidigitation, and a story about being true to your dreams and loving yourself as you are that's as meaningful today as ever before.

“A delight for the entire family!” LA SPLASH

Meet a handsome prince (who yearns to be loved for himself, not his royal position), silly stepsisters (who ultimately discover that looks really aren't everything), a fierce (but genuinely well-meaning) stepmother, a slightly befuddled King and a refreshingly independent, feisty Cinderella.

"An Enchanting Cinderella!...particularly within the context of Rudie and DeCarlo's trademark Gilbert & Sullivan comic lyrics." LA Times

CINDERELLA features Actors’ Repertory Theatre members James Cooper, Isabel Lindley, SummerAnne Love, J.T. Melagrano, Cydne Moore, Michala Peltz, Megan Wright, with special guests Olvia Hurtado as Cinderella and Elliot White in the dual role of Kerwin the Valet and Prince Asgood the Charming.

"This extraordinary company creates a strange new brand of excitement...Truly imaginative and entertaining, this play has all its spark plugs firing." - LA PARENT.
