Cinderella

Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella has been adapted from the well known fairytale, more specifically the French version, also called Cendrillon ou la Petite Pantoufle de Verre. Set in France, Cinderella tells the tale of a young woman named Ella who is bound to serving her Stepmother and Stepsisters after her father passes away. When it comes time for the kingdom’s beloved Prince Topher (short for Christopher) to find a wife to rule beside him as his queen, every eligible bachelorette is eager to attend the ball in hopes of ensnaring the prince, including poor Ella. With kindness, friendship, and a little bit of magic, true love and the power of goodness will prevail over all hardship and mishap.
