Theatre Artists Studio presents Cinderella.
A fresh new take on the fairytale favorite, this delightful new musical offers a rollicking good time for the whole family. Both Cinderella and Prince Bobby only want to dance – specifically TAP dance in a show! While his parents want him to find a wife, Bobby uses the “ball” as an audition to find a dancing partner. Join our tap-dancing Cinderella and her Prince; their Dance Instructor/Fairy Godmother, Madam Tatyana; the suave and debonair Armando and the rest of the zany cast for this fast-paced and fun musical romp. With numbers like I Just Wanna Dance, I Can Do Anything, Practice Makes Perfect and The Show Must Go on, you’ll be humming and toe-tapping all the way home.
