This Broadway adaptation of the classic musical features new characters, a hilarious libretto, surprising twists, and an unforgettable score from Rodgers & Hammerstein.

This musical features more than 100 NHS students in the cast and crew and orchestra. The show features 30 songs, including many favorites, such as “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible,” “Stepsister’s Lament,” A Lovely Night,” and “Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful.”

The show is appropriate for all-age audiences.

Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella was twice remade for television, first in 1965 for Lesley Ann Warren and again in 1997, featuring Brandy and Whitney Houston. The original Broadway production of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella opened in 2013 and starred Laura Osnes, Santino Fontana, Victoria Clark, and Harriet Harris.
