The timeless fairy tale is told with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm, and elegance. Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, it was remade in 1997 starring Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. This Enchanted Edition is based on the 1997 teleplay. The hearts of children and adults alike still soar when the slipper fits.

This is a very entertaining show. The scenes with
the chorus were fun and full of vitality. I enjoyed
the scene where all the different people of the
kingdom sung about the upcoming ball and also
thought the dancing at the ball was quite fun to
watch. The sets were well designed and the carriage
added a touch of charm to the whole play. The
royal assistant was comical and displayed
particularly good acting skills. All in all, a great
family friendly way to spend an afternoon or
evening.

After seeing quite a few shows now out at The Palace Theatre, I must say I'm never sure if I'm going to see good theatre or not. Some shows have been well above par for community theatre (Man of LaMancha), and others, like Cinderella, have left me wondering if I should have asked for my money back. Most of the actors did well enough with their roles, but the inconsistent level of abilities was hard to stomach. The step mother and her daughters steal the show (Emerald Cast), but even they had weak moments due to lack of staging and choreography. Overall that seemed to be the downfall of the production. Far too many people on stage and at most times, with nothing to do, no purpose. As I think about what I've seen at The Palace, the shows that disappointed me had a common thread. The same director and choreographer. Perhaps their vision differs from mine.

To say this show was incredibly

Yes, I will admit there was talent on
the stage but it was masked by the cramp
staging (or lack of staging). The set
itself was a beautiful artistic design
and the overall tech was impressive
(minus some of the strange costuming
decisions) for such a small theater.
This was my first time seeing a show
there and I have to say if more the
shows that come out of there are all
like this I'm surprised they sell. After
watching the show it struck me that had
they cast half the people it could
have been much better. For one, people
could move and have purpose. Maybe even
actually do something with a dance
number. All in all, I was not impressed
and hope I can come again to see a show
appropriately cast with the talent in
this community in an opportunity to
really shine.

Though it was an enjoyable two hours, Cinderella is not the strongest show I've seen come out of Georgetown. While the entire cast can sing phenomenally, the acting was uneven to say the least. I found myself often distracted from the main action by ensemble performers "hamming" in the periphery. And, unfortunately, many of the hairpieces were horribly distracting as well. I don't usually have issue with such a relatively minor aspect of a production, but I spent much of the play wondering how the wigs were even staying on the actors' heads.
I cannot stress strongly enough how beautiful the singing is in this production. And every little girl in that theatre left smiling, wanting to *be* Cinderella. And ultimately, that's what matters most.

This production of Cinderella brings in talent, on and off the stage, from all around. From the actors, designing, building and painting the sets, creating the costumes - this show is brought to life by the local community. The set is an amazing work of architecture for such an intimate stage. The mechanical design allows it to be used in every scene without removing it from the stage – brilliant! The costuming is a blend of outrageous colors, fabrics and styles that cross many periods – yet works well to bring the director’s vision to life. The principals in the cast are duplicated into two groups: the ruby cast and the emerald cast. I saw the emerald cast perform on Saturday night with one substitution: the prince. Overall this cast is a strong group – plenty of poignant moments and hilarious scenes. The step-mother and sisters are great with their version of the constantly scheming and bickering family and the pets nearly steal the show: April Rodriguez is the perfect feline!
