Cinderella, the musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein
by The Theatre Company (TTC)
Feb. 26 - Feb. 27
A young woman is forced into a life of servitude by her cruel stepmother and self-centered stepsisters, who dreams of a better life. With the help of her fairy godmother, Cinderella is transformed into a princess and finds her prince.
Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella is a musical written for television, but later played on stage, with music by Richard Rodgers and a book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. It is based upon the fairy tale Cinderella, particularly the French version Cendrillon, ou la petite pantoufle de verre ("Cinderella, or The Little Glass Slipper"), by Charles Perrault.
Originally written for television broadcast, the musical has been adapted for the stage in a number of versions, including a London West Endpantomime adaptation, a New York City Opera production that follows the original television version closely, and various touring productions. A 2013 adaptation on Broadway starred Laura Osnes and Santino Fontana, with a new book by Douglas Carter Beane.

ROLES
ELLA - The iconic heroine; she is opinionated, charismatic, and courageous. She is determined to see the good in everyone despite her hardships.
TOPHER - A misguided and lost prince who longs to do something important with his life. Though brave and heroic, he feels lonely and unfulfilled. Charming but NOT a stereotypical ladies man.
MADAME - Ella's selfish stepmother. The epitome of vanity and fashion. A ravenous social climber who values wealth, status, and material possessions above all else.
SEBASTIAN - The kingdom's Lord Chancellor. Though he is Topher's trusted advisor, he is devious and selfish.
MARIE - A friend to Ella and the town's resident crazy lady and beggar woman, Marie is actually a fairy godmother in disguise. Wise, warm, and charming.
GABRIELLE - Ella's stepsister. Encouraged by her mother and sister to value material wealth and social status, she unenthusiastically joins them in their abrasive behavior, though she is quietly passionate, empathetic, and witty.
CHARLOTTE - Ella's stepsister and daughter of Madame. Brash, self-centered, materialistic, loud, and bratty, she has a ridiculously high, but unfounded, opinion of herself. She never passes up an opportunity to be the center of attention.
JEAN-MICHEL - A feisty, passionate peasant determined to make a change for the starving class. Impetuous, lacks authority and isn't taken seriously as a revolutionary.
LORD PINKLETON - The Lord Chancellor's right-hand man. Announces royal balls, banquets, and even the weather to the villagers.
