This holiday season, Gateway Theatre presents the enchanting Tony Award-winning musical Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. The Gateway Theatre creative team is bringing this magical production to life with extravagant ball-worthy costumes, an incredible pumpkin carriage and a live band to play this captivating score.

“We invite audiences to join us at Gateway this holiday season to experience the magic of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella,” said Barbara Tomasic, Gateway Theatre’s Director of Artistic Programs. “This newly updated fairy tale still warms the hearts of children and adults alike, and we are delighted to share this award-winning show with our audiences. The story was adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity. In 2013, the production earned nine Tony Awards nominations and won three Tony Awards when it first premiered on Broadway. Not only does it have a sweeping score, but this beloved fairy tale has also been beautifully contemporized for the stage, with a new focus on female empowerment and resiliency.”

With its fresh new take on the beloved tale of a young woman who is transformed from a chambermaid into a princess, this hilarious and romantic Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella combines the story’s classic elements – glass slippers, magic pumpkin carriage, and a beautiful ball – along with some surprising twists. More than just a pretty face with the right shoe size, this Cinderella is a contemporary figure living in a fairy tale setting. She is a spirited young woman with savvy and spark who doesn’t let her rags or gowns trip her up in her quest for kindness, compassion, and forgiveness.

This enchanting musical will put a spell on audiences of all ages. Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella showcases some of the songwriting duo’s loveliest tunes, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible,” and “Ten Minutes Ago,” as well as some new characters and surprising twists.
