Productions
West End (2021)
The musical was workshopped at The Other Palace in London in May 2019 with Carrie Hope Fletcher in the title role, Tyrone Huntley as Prince Sebastian and Victoria Hamilton-Barritt as the Stepmother. The cast also included Rebecca Trehearn as Marie, Gary Wilmot as Jean, Ruthie Henshall as The Queen and Jonny Fines as Prince Charming.[1]
Cinderella is scheduled to have its world premiere at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in London's West End on 14 July 2021 with previews starting 25 June.[2] The opening, originally scheduled for August 2020, was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The production is set to be directed by Laurence Connor and choreographed by JoAnn M. Hunter. Fletcher and Hamilton-Barrit are set to create the roles of Cinderella and the Stepmother, with Trehearn as The Queen (instead of her workshop role). Ivano Turco is cast as Prince Sebastian.[4]
