by Jackie Mellor
Think you're having a bad day? Think again! Poor old Cinders! Her father's away on business, her stepmother is not being very nice and her two ugly stepsisters are, well, ugly! Not to mention all those chores mean she can't go to the Ball.
What she needs is some good, old-fashioned help. And who better to provide it than a Fairy Godmother? That is, if the poor dear can remember the difference between a pumpkin and a potato!
" ... a beloved British family tradition that deserves to grow here as well." Nancy Churnin, The Dallas Morning News
"Cinderella is warm entertainment. It will be enjoyed by all members of the family. If you don’t have any children of your own, the child in you will spark to this opportunity to enjoy a true British panto." Joseph Melnicoff, Broadwayworld.com
".... (a) delightful bit of family entertainment." Elaine Liner, Dallas Observer
" ... a zesty makeover ... this fairytale adaptation written by Jackie Mellor amply entertains both kids and the adults who accompany them." Ruth Arbery, Park Cities People
"The production is a lark ... Leave your expectations of subtlety at the door, and prepare to laugh." Arnold Wayne Jones, Dallas Voice
