‘Cinderella’ comes to Phoenix Theatre Company for the holidays

Musical opens Nov. 16

Posted

The Phoenix Theatre Company’s annual holiday show is Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella,” which runs Wednesday, Nov. 16 through Jan. 1.

“This production is not exactly the fairytale you remember,” Michael Barnard, the show’s director and producing artistic director for the theatre, shared in a news release. “There is a modern-day twist to the show, one that is captivating for young girls and boys. The story encourages people to let kindness and fairness be their guide, something the world could use a lot more of nowadays.”

Phoenix Theatre Company is located at 1825 N. Central Ave.

As a Broadway musical, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Book of a Musical and Best Musical Revival. The show tells the endearing tale of a girl who learns to believe in what’s possible. The timeless classic is set in a kingdom ruled by a well-intentioned but misaligned prince who, through trials and tribulations, learns that treating people with compassion and empathy is the way to successfully rule the land.

“The characters — especially Cinderella — are empowered, strong and focused,” Barnard added. “She is a role model committed to becoming the person she is destined to be, and in the process, inspires others to find their true selves.”

The cast features Joy Del Valle as Ella, Alex Branton as Prince Topher, María Amorocho as the Fairy Godmother Marie, D. Scott Withers as Sebastian, Aaron Ford as Lord Pinkleton, Kendrick Stallings as Jean-Michel, Sally Jo Bannow as Madame, and Michelle Chin and Kate Cook as the stepsisters Gabrielle and Charlotte. Cydney Trent is the understudy for Marie.
