Now playing at the Players Theatre, "Cinderella" is a light-hearted, touching adaptation of the well-known fairy tale. The show features book and lyrics by Brenda Bell and original music by Michael Sgouros, played by two live percussionists and a trumpet player, creating a delightful mixture of good-hearted humor and tender remembrances. This Cinderella doesn't wait around for her dreams to come true - she makes them happen. Of course, she is inspired by a little magic along the way.
