Cinderella

The fairytale musical Cinderella opened on Broadway (The Broadway Theatre) in March of 2013. The two act musical is based on two books, the original by Hammerstein (1957) and the new book written for the Broadway production by Douglas Beane. The 2013 production is a familiar and similar adaptation of the storybook tale of the cruel stepmother, the fairy godmother and the life of servitude that was endured by a young woman until she meets her prince charming. After nine Tony Awards nominations and a win for best costumes, the musical began a national tour of the U.S. in 2014.
