Cinderella comes alive in Dundee

The Dundee Theaterites are presenting Rodgers’ and Hammerstein’s enchanting adaptation of the fairytale, “Cinderella” this Thursday through Saturday at 7 p.m. in the Dundee Central School Auditorium.

Their only musical originally composed for television and presented live on air in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella was the most widely viewed program since television was invented.  Since then, the timeless enchantment of a magical fairytale has continued to charm audiences in productions on stage and on television. 

Based upon the classic French fairy tale, “Cendrillon, ou la Petite Pantoufle de Verre” (the Little Glass Slipper), “Cinderella” brings to life to the story of a young woman forced into servitude by her evil stepmother and vain stepsisters. But Cinderella dreams of a better life, and with the help of her Fairy Godmother, may find it better than she could have imagined. “Cinderella” features some of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most beloved songs, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible,” and “Ten Minutes Ago‚“
