This summer, more than 60 student performers and technicians will train with professional theater artists in preparation for a production of “Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella.”

“Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella” is the new Broadway adaptation of the classic musical. This contemporary take on the classic tale features some of Rodgers & Hammerstein's most beloved songs, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It's Possible” and “Ten Minutes Ago,” alongside an up-to-date, hilarious and romantic libretto by Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane.
