Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella is the new Broadway adaptation of the classic musical. This contemporary take on the treasured fairy tale features some of their most beloved songs including “In My Own Little Corner\,” “Impossible\,” and “Ten Minutes Ago” in this romantic (and hilarious) update.  \nWinning nine 2013 Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Musical\, critics called it\, “Reassuringly old-fashioned and refreshingly irreverent\, sentimental and snarky\, sincere and ironic\, all at once!”  \nAvailable Roles: \nElla: Idealistic and hopeful\, she courageously challenges the prince to change the policies in the kingdom – and helps him discover who he truly is. Soprano B3-Eb5 \nTopher: A misguided and lost prince who longs to do something important with his life. Baritone C#3-A4 \nMadame: Ella’s selfish stepmother\, the epitome of vanity and fashion. MezzoSoprano C4-D5 \nSebastian: The kingdom’s Lord Chancellor and trusted advisor to the Prince\, though uses propaganda and dishonesty to keep Topher in the dark about his kingdom. Baritone C3-E4 \nMarie: A friend to Ella and the town’s crazy lady and beggar who also happens to be a Fairy Godmother. Soprano A3-Ab5 \nGabrielle: Ella’s stepsister and publicly follows her mother and sister but secretly empathetic\, passionate\, and drawn to Ella and Jean-Michel. Soprano C4-G5 \nCharlotte: Ella’s stepsister who is brash\, self-centered\, materialistic and always wants to be the center of attention. Mezzo-Soprano B3-F5 \nJean-Michel: A feisty\, passionate peasant determined to make a change for the starving class. Also has a crush on Gabrielle. Baritone C3-G4 \nLord Pinkleton: Sebastian’s right-hand man who announces royal balls\, banquets and occasionally the weather to the villagers. Tenor D3-A4 \nEnsemble: Interchanging parts to include a Giant\, Fox and Raccoon\, Footman\, Coachman\, Knights\, Peasants\, Townspeople\, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Court\, Etc \n  \nAll roles are available.
