WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

New York City Opera presents Cinderella, featuring music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics and book by Oscar Hammerstein II. The production stars Eartha Kitt, Lea DeLaria, Sarah Uriarte Berry, Christopher Sieber, Ana Gasteyer, John Epperson, Renee Taylor, and Dick Van Patten. Baayork Lee directs and choreographs.

Marooned at home, Cinderella must stick to her chores while her wicked stepmother and stepsisters attend the ball. Luckily, a fairy godmother magically appears and turns the shabby maid into the enchanted princess who wins the heart of Prince Charming. Then, at the stroke of midnight, all would be lost were it not for a famed piece of footwear.

This stage adaptation, based on the 1957 Julie Andrews film, features a soaring score including three rediscovered Rodgers and Hammerstein hits. With dazzling sets, lavish ball gowns, and mice-turned-footmen, this Cinderella is also A JAW-DROPPING VISUAL TREAT.

Times have changed and attitudes with them. When the Prince gives a ball in the Richard Rodgers-Oscar Hammerstein II version of Cinderella, no one is scandalized at the emergence in aristocratic circles of a[...]
