Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella

Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts in Franklin NC presents Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. Cinderella, forced into a life of household chores by her wickedly cruel stepmother and stepsisters, dreams of a better life. The town crier announces a royal ball at which the Prince of the kingdom intends to find a bride, and Cinderella wishes she could attend. When her stepsisters and stepmother go off to the ball, a Fairy Godmother appears and magically grants Cinderella’s wish. At the ball, Cinderella and the Prince meet and instantly fall in love, but she abruptly excuses herself at midnight, leaving only a glass slipper on the palace steps. The Prince then begins an extensive search for the maiden that will fit the glass slipper where he hopes to find his happily-ever-after. More info
