Promising a magical golden carriage journey, these October school holidays, Woods-Ray Theatricals Inc. are pleased to present a new production of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella!
Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella is the new Broadway adaptation of the classic musical. This contemporary take on the classic tale features Rodgers & Hammerstein’s most beloved songs, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible” and “Ten Minutes Ago,” alongside an up-to-date, hilarious and romantic libretto by Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane. With its fresh new take on the beloved tale of a young woman who is transformed from a chambermaid into a princess, this Cinderella is more than just a pretty face with the right shoe size. She is a spirited young woman with savvy and soul, not only fighting for her own dreams, but forcing the prince to open his eyes to the world around him and realise his dreams too.
Woods-Ray Theatricals Inc. is an Illawarra-based amateur musical society, which aims to bring a range of high-quality productions to the stage, whilst providing enriching opportunities for members of the local community to perform and get involved with the production of these shows.
This production of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella features a cast of 29 local performers – including Jocelyn Bray as Ella, Lachlan Pearce as Topher, Rhiannon Simpson as Marie, Jennifer Gray as Madame, Ella Clout as Gabrielle, Sarah Gray as Charlotte, Liam Cary as Jean-Michel, Suzi Villeneuve-Smith as Sebastian and Ron Seymour as Lord Pinkleton.
After their successes with recent productions such as Disney’s Frozen Jr, The Wedding Singer and Shrek – The Musical, the team at Woods-Ray Theatricals Inc. are thrilled to be mounting a brand-new version of this timeless story. Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella is the perfect musical treat for the whole family to enjoy.
