"..."Cinderella" succeeds so well in part because the talent pool onstage is so deep. Murray, a newcomer to the CTC stage, has a buttery tenor that complements Shannon's sweet soprano. The two are joyful on "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," made famous by Whitney Houston."

"...A confession: I loved the Children's Theatre Company's original version of "Cinderella" when it premiered a few years ago. I thought their new production of the show would be mostly the same. But it's actually funnier and even more interactive this time around."

"...That said, the 8- to 12-year-old crowd seemed to eat up the popular culture references-although most of the references seemed to go over the heads of the littler ones (they laughed the hardest at Holt's pratfalls and Ness's over-the-top hysterical flirtation with the Lord High Chamberlain, played by Gerald Drake). Being a sucker for puns, I took most pleasure in the witty wordplay that passed between Ness and her unfortunate daughters. There is something for everyone in this Cinderella, so whether you take your kids or go solo, you're almost certain to have a ball (pun intended). It is a marvelous, magical, squeal-worthy show that will appeal to kids of all ages (and genders), from 2 to 92."

"...Victorian Christmas, a vaudeville show, and a romance are all encompassed in the Children’s Theatre Company’s latest production of the fairy tale Cinderella. It is a remount of the show that CTC performed during the in 2013-2014 season with many key actors reprising their roles. Director Peter C. Brosius directs a talented cast in this John B. Davidson’s adaptation of Charles Perrault’s original fairytale."
