"After the unbelievable success of the 2008 Playhouse Junior season, I am thrilled to bring this version of everyone's favorite fairy tale, "Cinderella" to the Playhouse stage," Marc Tuminelli said. This appealing re-telling of the timeless fairy tale will "charm its way into your heart and remind you that dreams really can come true."
