SPOTLIGHT ON
Cinderella
WHAT’S UP?
Byrne Creek Theatre Company presents Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, the Tony Award-winning musical.
WHEN AND WHERE?
May 10 to 14 at Byrne Creek Community School, 7777 18th St., Burnaby.
WHAT WILL I SEE?
You’ll enjoy a contemporary take on the classic tale, with a cast of more than 20 students, plus live music, and a production that includes all the moments you love. Yes, you’ll find the pumpkin, the glass slipper, the ball and more, along with some surprising twists - all with a more feminist version of Ella.
You’ll also hear some fabulous Rodgers and Hammerstein songs – In My Own Little Corner, Impossible/It’s Possible, 10 Minutes Ago, and some additional, rarely heard songs by the famous Broadway duo.
“This show is a hilarious and romantic experience to anyone who’s had a dream and wanted to change the world,” a press release says.
It’s directed by Damon Jang and Jack Trovato, with choreography by Jang and music direction by Adam Da Ros. Trovato is the company’s artistic director.
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE …
As an added bonus, your ticket proceeds can help a great cause. Byrne Creek is working with the Cinderella Project, a non-profit group that helps students with limited means enjoy their own graduation experience. Tickets will be donated in gift bags for the grads, and half the proceeds from a pay-what-you-can preview performance will go towards the Cinderella Project for a scholarship.
