“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. Fairygodmother, of course, plays herself. Directed by Playhouse Co-Artistic Director Chris DeCarlo, book, music & lyrics by DeCarlo and Evelyn Rudie.
"This extraordinary company creates a strange new brand of excitement...Truly imaginative and entertaining, this play has all its spark plugs firing." - LA PARENT.
Splendid birthday parties, hosted by costumed members of the Cinderella Company, are available with every performance.
"A show that will delight children and adults, even if they think they have seen every possible twist on the Cinderella story." reviewplays.com
