The Commedia Cinderella

By Lane Riosley

Oct. 28-Nov. 13, 2011 • Wells Fargo Playhouse
Front Orchestra $18 / General Section $14

In this funny, fast-paced show, the Tarradiddle Players put a slapstick spin on one of the world’s most famous fairytales. Beautiful Cinderella is forced to work as a kitchen maid by her mean Stepmother and two ugly Stepsisters, but thanks to a little help from her Fairy Godmother, she still has a chance to win the hand of the handsome Prince. With roots in the humorous, physical acting style of Italian Commedia dell’arte, this production is a lighthearted treat.

"It taught this crowd a little something about life and, in an unobtrusive way, prepared kids for a lifetime of playgoing."
- Lawrence Toppman,
The Charlotte Observer (Full Review)

"To sum it up in one word, AWESOME! ... Played with a comedian twist that kept me laughing all the way through."
- Faith Jarek, age 9,
Charlotte Culture Kids reviewer

"There were two meaningful messages that The Commedia Cinderella demonstrated to the children and that was that dreams can come true and when friends disagree they can still be friends." - Mami Daphne, mami2mommy.com (Full Review)
