Make no mistake, this is not your childhood Cinderella. More tomboy than a princess, Stanton Welch's title character is a striking woman of substance, determination, and spunk. Not waiting on a prince to rescue her, Cinderella is in control, fighting the will of her evil stepmother with wit and vigor. And when she finds true love, she grabs it— and holds on with both hands.

Set to Prokofiev's classic score with a spectacular set and costume design by Kristian Frederickson, Welch's unique spin on the storied classic brings the work into modern times with a twist to suit the 21st century.
