COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Nov. 10, 2021) — The Fine Arts Center Theatre Company is excited to present the musical “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella,” on stage Dec. 2, 2021–Jan. 9, 2022. The production is directed and choreographed by FAC Co-Interim Producing Artistic Director Nathan Halvorson.
The FAC production of “Cinderella” is a modern twist on the timeless enchantment of this magical fairy tale. It brings new life to the story of a young woman who dreams of—and achieves—a better life. This contemporary take features Rodgers & Hammerstein’s most beloved songs, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible” and “Ten Minutes Ago.”
“‘Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella’ is the perfect way to return to our yearly tradition of bringing families together with a musical spectacular for the holidays. This updated classic will dazzle you with magic, comedy, romance and, most importantly, kindness. Our Cinderella is not waiting to be rescued. She is actively searching for a better life, not only for herself, but for the entire kingdom in which she resides,” said Halvorson. “With the help of her friends from the forest and a chance encounter with a prince with an identity crisis, she discovers that anything is possible. This show is guaranteed to put you in the holiday spirit.”
The musical stars Alex Campbell (last seen on the FAC stage in “Bye Bye Birdie”) as Ella and Shabazz Green (last seen on the FAC stage in “Hands on a Hardbody”) as Prince Topher. They are joined by FAC favorite Jennifer DeDominici as Cinderella’s stepmother (last seen on the FAC stage in “Bridges of Madison County”), April Armstrong as the fairy godmother, and Mark Rubald as Sebastian.
The creative team includes Lex Liang (scenic and costume design), Jonathan Spencer (lighting design), Tori Higgins (sound design), Jerry McCauley (music direction) and Stephanie McGuffin (music direction).
