Finally bringing the newest Broadway version of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s iconic musical Cinderella to Australian audiences, Opera Australia and The Gordon Frost Organisation will commence their official tour of the production at Sydney’s Capitol Theatre from 16 November 2021. With auditions starting next week, the next step to making this production a reality, the producers have confirmed that ticket sales will commence on Friday 30 April 2021.
Tickets will be available exclusively via Ticketmaster, or by calling them on 136 100. Prices start at $69.90, and will likely vary between seating reserve and/or session choice. More information will be made available on the production’s official website as it is made available
Cinderella sets out to be a “fresh new take” on the beloved tale. This is attempted by combining the story’s classic elements – the glass slippers, pumpkin, a beautiful masked ball and more – along with some “surprising twists”. More than just a pretty face with the right shoe size, this Cinderella is a contemporary figure living in a fairytale setting. A spirited young woman with savvy and soul, she not only fights for her own dreams, but forces the prince to open his eyes to the world around him and realize his dreams too.
This production of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella first appeared on Broadway in January 2013 featuring a new book by Douglas Carter Beane and direction by Mark Brokaw, and it ran for two years.
We can’t wait to audition musical theatre performers to fill these classic roles. And we’re looking forward to announcing our Cinderella, Prince Charming, Fairy Godmother, Stepmother and Stepsisters and the full cast in due course.
This is one of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s greatest scores and this production with beautiful orchestrations, magnificent costumes and sets, jaw-dropping transformations and all the moments you love from the classic story, will have audiences clamoring for more.
