This weekend, we went to the ball as Jason Gotay took BroadwayWorld behind the scenes at The Muny's production of Cinderella! So in case you missed it (or just want to relive all of the fun and excitement), we compiled clips for you to enjoy. Check it all out!
The prince is giving a ball! Prince Topher himself, Jason Gotay, is taking over BroadwayWorld's Instagram Story tomorrow, July 13th, to take you behind-the-scenes at The Muny's production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella! It's impossible to not love this takeover, so you're not gonna want to miss it!
The Muny's current production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella is definitely not Walt Disney's Cinderella. It is nothing like Perrault's or the Grimm Brothers' Cinderella. It's not even pure Rodgers & Hammerstein, but rather a 2013 adaptation based on Rodgers & Hammerstein with a new book by Douglas Carter Beane. This musical holds the essence of your beloved fairytale but is infused (I must warn you upfront) with complicating new characters, a clumsy reordering of the original songs, and a conspicuous political subplot.

The Muny announced today its complete cast, design and production team for Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella, the fourth show of its second century, July 8 - 16. Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella is proudly sponsored by Edward Jones.
