Review: CINDERELLA at THEATRE UNDER THE STARS
by Brett Cullum - Dec 9, 2023

What I admire most about TUTS is their willingness to cast local Houston talent of all levels, and allowing them to work on a show with musical theater professionals from around the country. They are the soul of Houston theater in many ways, and it is lovely to see them honor that legacy with their holiday show.
