Cinderella's Makeover at PASA

The show presents a Shrek-like version of the Cinderella story with music from some of the world’s greatest classical composers. In this version, Cinderella doesn’t marry the prince because he is too obsessed with the size of her feet as he tries to get her to try on a glass slipper that the magician Merlin has told him will fit the girl he is to marry. Instead of a fairy godmother, Cinderella (played by Lauren Cole) has a fairy godfather (played by Jef Maldonado, who played Cedric E De Ville in PASA’s recent staging of “Make Me a Musical”). He brings in a team of stylists who give her makeover and then introduces her to a handsome courtier named Horatio, who rescues her after her evil stepmother sells her to some slave traders (whose trademark is “Slaves R Us”). Composers include Leo Delibes, W.A. Mozart, J.S. Bach, Jules Massenet, Carl Maria von Weber, Luigi Boccherini, Edvard Grieg, Josef Haydn, Felix Mendelssohn, Frederic Chopin, Camille St Saens and Bedrich Smetana. You can hear one of the songs “My Heart Has Learned to Soar” on Youtuber(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjxyi5tOcOM).
