Synopsis
Preview performances December 2 – 5; Opening night is December 5. Signed performance is December 18.
Returning to STC after a six-year absence, this crowd-pleasing adaptation of the classic fairy tale is the perfect theatre experience for the whole family. Inspired by the British panto holiday tradition, the show features music by local songwriter and composer Gregg Coffin, a live band led by STC favorite Samuel Clein, and all new sets and costumes.
Cinderella, presented here as a panto, follows a tradition that dates back to 1717, when John Rich introduced the model to British theatre. Pantos present classic fairy tales with lots of laughs for children and adults alike. Traditionally performed during the Christmas season for family audiences, modern pantomime incorporates song, dance, buffoonery, slapstick, cross-dressing, in-jokes, topical references, mild innuendo, and audience participation.
Cinderella was conceived and directed by Paul Whitworth at Shakespeare Santa Cruz and was first performed at Shakespeare Santa Cruz, Paul Whitworth, Artistic Director, Marcus Cato, Managing Director.
