"It's surprising that it took Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein's musical Cinderella over 50 years from the first TV broadcast in 1957 to make it to Broadway. After its successful two-year run in 2013, the musical has gone on to have a lengthy tour and become a frequently produced show across the country. With direction that highlights the humor without ever losing touch with the heart at its center, a fantastic cast, and creative elements that are imaginative and richly detailed, Hale Centre Theatre's production is superb...As Cinderella, Brie Wadsworth-Gates is simply lovely. Her portrayal of this headstrong character has the perfect balance of fantasy and realism and she brings a beautiful sense of charm and care to her relationships to all of the characters that surround Cinderella. ... Kevin Orduño is equally as good as Prince Topher... his bright singing voice shines on some of the most romantic songs in the show, including "Loneliness of Evening" and "Ten Minutes Ago." ...Cambrian James' direction is bright, with the perfect blend of comedy and romance that the musical requires. His staging keeps the show moving along at a quick pace but lets the romantic and serious scenes resonate. ...Hale's production of Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella is fun, fresh, and joyfully romantic.
