INSIDE BROADWAY’S 25th ANNIVERSARY SCHOOL TOUR OF CINDERELLA TO BE PRESENTED AT NYC SCHOOLS IN MARCH AND APRIL

 

SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCES BY NYC OFFICIALS, TO BE ANNOUNCED.

Inside Broadway, now celebrating its 25th anniversary season of introducing young audiences to Broadway musicals, will present Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella at public schools New York City-wide as part of its 2007 school tour.. The Cinderella anniversary tour will also feature special guest appearances by prominent New York City officials (to be announced), who have provided vital support to the company.

 

Cinderella, the classic fairy tale with music by Richard Rodgers and book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, is directed and choreographed by Cheryl Swift, with scenic design by David Rigler, costume design by Karl Ruckdeschel , musical direction by John Bowen and production stage management by Scott Earley.  The professional Equity cast features Kenyon Adams, Olivia Braza, Gary Brintz, Elizabeth Daniels, Courtney Fabrizio and Sarah Spigelman.
