If the shoe fits … it’s possible! That is the catch phrase for Lincoln County Community Theater’s upcoming production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic fairytale, “Cinderella!” This most magical of musicals will be performed live on the Lincoln Theater stage for four performances beginning Friday, May 5 through Sunday, May 7. A heartfelt story of love and compassion, perfect for audiences of all ages! 

LCCT’s production of Cinderella is a contemporary take on the classic tale. This version, adapted for Broadway in 2013, has the memorable music and lyrics of the beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein original, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible / It’s Possible,” and “Ten Minutes Ago,” as well as featuring several additional songs from the composers.  

The story follows an up to date, hilarious and romantic new libretto written by Douglas Carter Beane, based partly on Hammerstein’s original. Beane’s version introduces several new characters as well as a slight character change - a sympathetic stepsister!  As for our title character, when she meets a dragon-slaying young prince who is just assuming control of his government, Ella helps to spark transformation and empower the disenfranchised in their kingdom. With the help of her fairy godmother, a pumpkin, and a little magic and humor, Ella, Prince Topher and their generous friends will inspire and delight the whole family. This Tony Award-winning musical, from the creators of “South Pacific” and “The Sound of Music,” invites us to build a better, kinder world together. 

Under the direction of Maestro John Mulcahy, “Cinderella” is choreographed by Phaelon O’Donnell, a newcomer to the Lincoln Theater stage. The production of “Cinderella” features many Lincoln Theater newcomers including Evelyn LaCroix of Skowhegan as Cinderella, and Lincoln Academy senior Harrison Pierpan as Prince Topher. Joining them on stage are Emily Sue Barker, Christina Belknap, W. Joseph Coté, Carole Florman, Derek Kingsley, Zora Margolis, Sophia Mansfield, Spencer Pottle, Amanda Shepard, Ben Shepard, and supported by an incredible ensemble dubbed the Royal Court CinderSingers, and live orchestra, the Slipper-Rhythmics.  

Join us and experience the magic of “Cinderella” live on stage Friday, May 5 at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, May 6 at 2 and 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, May 7 at 2 pm.
