ABOUT rodgers and hammerstein's cinderella (broadway)
In March 2013, a new Rodgers and Hammerstein musical opened on Broadway - new to Broadway, but based on a TV musical first written nearly sixty years before and beloved by audiences all over the world. It was Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella, which very quickly became the belle of the ball of the Broadway season, winning cheers for its fresh take on a timeless classic.
Douglas Carter Beane has created a new, Tony-nominated book that has been hailed for complementing the inspirational themes of Rodgers and Hammerstein with a twenty-first-century sensibility, giving the musical new characters, surprising plot twists, and revelatory moments that harken back to the Charles Perrault version of the fairy tale. The score includes familiar songs from the television versions - 'In My Own Little Corner', 'Impossible', 'A Lovely Night', and 'Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?' - along with undiscovered gems from the "trunk". As adapted for the stage, Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella features all the moments you love - the pumpkin, the glass slipper, the masked ball, and more!

notes on auditions
- This is a workshop style audition which will involve everyone learning a song from the show and a piece of movement and/or choreography.
- The aim is to ensure we have a strong singing chorus who can do simple dance moves as well as a good core of dancers who can perform more choreographed moves with lifts/ballet/jazz style dancing etc. The singers/movers will form our strong singing chorus and join in some of the dancing (such as a waltz at the ball) where the singer/dancers will perform the more difficult choreography but also contribute to the singing chorus where possible.
- No preparation is necessary for the day although it may be useful for attendees to familiarise themselves with the 2013 broadway production by searching for YouTube videos or listening to chorus tracks where possible.
