Directed by Elaine Anderson, Musical Direction by Brenda Dimoff and Choreography by Paula Mercer. Cinderella – a kind-hearted girl, mistreated by her devious stepmother and envious stepsisters, wishes to go to the Royal Ball.
Her fairy godmother makes her wish come true, but at midnight, the enchantments end, and Cinderella rushes from the ball, leaving her glass slipper as the only clue for the prince to find her.

RYC’s Shrek the Musical JR
