Have a ball and fall in love with Cinderella! The plucky heroine’s good deeds awaken a magical transformation thanks to a little help from her Fairy Godmother. Laugh out loud with the riotous Stepsisters and marvel as an ordinary pumpkin becomes a spectacular carriage. Elegant and with a twist of humor, Victoria Morgan’s choreography is paired delightfully with the charming music of Sergei Prokofiev, breathing new life into the classic fairy tale. Cinderella reminds us all that dreams can really come true. Get your tickets before the clock strikes midnight or you just might turn into a pumpkin!
