Once upon a song, Cinderella met Gilbert & Sullivan and something magical happened.
The story of Cinderella, the downtrodden girl who becomes a princess, is a classic fairytale. Maybe the classic tale of all time. There are hundreds of variants that span generations and cultures. In China, she has a talking fish instead of a fairy godmother. In England she's called Tattercoats. And, of course, she's one of the world's favourite Disney characters.
And now, a Gilbert & Sullivan Cinderella Playwright Brad Filippone and director Jolene Pattison think they have a version that will appeal to the entire family. Ms. Pattison points out: "It's such a touchstone fairy tale, about a beautiful soul who triumphs over adversity because she remains true to herself. We've combined a timeless retelling of the story with the beautiful music of Gilbert & Sullivan."
The show is performed in two acts and is best suited for children who have learned to read.
