Cinderella

Closing the season will be the great Rodgers and Hammerstein’s wonderful family-friendly musical, “Cinderella.” Sandwiched between their huge successes with The King and I, Flower Drum Song and The Sound of Music, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II wrote a musical for television. That musical was “Cinderella,” starring Julie Andrews. The show subsequently went on to successful stage productions, a second televised performance, a modern movie interpretation, and a reworked Broadway revival in 2013. The story, as we all know, is about the trials and eventual triumph of a young woman forced into a life of servitude by her cruel stepmother and self-centered stepsisters. She dreams of a better life, and with the help of her fairy godmother, Cinderella is transformed into a princess and finds her prince. The Garfield Center will be producing the 2013 Broadway revival version of the show, with Music by Richard Rodgers, Original Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and New Book by Douglas Carter Beane.

“Cinderella” will run from December 5th through December 21st, 2025. The show will be directed by Adrienne Wrona, who has appeared on stage at the GCA in several productions, directed several 10-minute plays for “Short Attention Span Theatre” and was once the GCA’s Development Director.
