Presented by Gulf Coast Dance Theater

“Cinderella” is a timeless ballet that weaves together magic, romance, and transformation. Set in a picturesque kingdom, the story follows Cinderella, a kind-hearted young woman mistreated by her stepmother and stepsisters. With the help of her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella’s humble existence is magically transformed, allowing her to attend the royal ball where she captures the heart of the handsome Prince.

As the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella flees, leaving behind a glass slipper as the only clue to her identity. The Prince, determined to find his mysterious love, embarks on a quest across the kingdom, fitting the slipper on every maiden. Amidst the deception of her jealous stepsisters, Cinderella’s true identity is finally revealed, and she is reunited with her beloved Prince.

Filled with enchanting choreography and a score that evokes both whimsy an emotion, “Cinderella” is a ballet that celebrates the power of kindness, the triumph of love over adversity, and the belief that dreams can come true for those who dare to hope.

11am Sensory Friendly Mini-Production:
The run time of the show is condensed to 45 minutes with no intermission to keep our young audience excited and attentive. Half of the audience lights will be kept on to allow for easier movement in and out of seats for the families attending, and the music will be kept at a lower volume. We are excited to be able to provide a special time and event for our young dance enthusiasts!
