Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella

A power-hungry stepfamily, a charmed prince, a fairy godmother, and a missing slipper ... as long as the tentpoles of the famous fairytale are in place, there's plenty of room to dance. This month, the Saenger hosts the 2013 Tony Award-winning Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella, an update on the 1957 musical written as a Julie Andrews vehicle and first presented on television, not stage. In this modern version, Ella is more interested in ousting the kingdom's villainous prime minister (and perpetrator of much oppression) than in having mice do her hair. But if she happens to fall in love while subverting injustice, oh well. 8 pm Friday and Saturday; 2 pm Saturday; 1 pm and 6:30 pm Sunday. Tickets start at $55. saengernola.com.
