REVIEWS:

"You want magic? Wait until you see Cinderella!"

Marilyn Stasio, Variety

"A timeless musical treasure! [Douglas Carter Beane’s] script crackles with sweetness and freshness."

Mark Kennedy, The Associated Press

"A full-on romantic fantasy!"

Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post

"Lavish family entertainment! This new Cinderella is still built around the lush score for which the Rodgers & Hammerstein version is fondly remembered, including the swoony waltz ‘Ten Minutes Ago’ and the plaintive ballad 'In My Own Little Corner."

Adam Feldman, Time Out New York

"The cheeky humor of Beane’s book comes from imposing modern sensibilities (and contemporary lingo) on timeless storybook figures."

Marilyn Stasio, Variety

"Cinderella is a timeless inspiration for young and old alike who want their dreams to come true."

Robin Leach, Las Vegas Sun
