Twin Cities Pioneer Press - Highly Recommended

"...If Christmas is all about bringing joy to the world, then "Cinderella" at the Children's Theatre is spot on. Sure, the famous fairy tale has not traditionally been associated with the holidays--although in this version, the prince's ball conveniently takes place on Christmas Eve -- but the humor and happiness of the story make it as welcome as a holiday gift."

How Was The Show - Recommended

"...Wow. Never have I witnessed, in all my years of theater-going, such over-the-top scenery-chewing. These actors screech and scream and squeal. They jig, amble and lisp. Tear a passion to tiny tatters. Dance and gambol and drop trou and perform balletic pratfalls, perilously close to the Pit of Death (more on this anon). They sing: Sigmund's take on Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful" is priceless. They incessantly swat at each other. Gleefully mistreat poor Cinderella. Interact with the audience ("Is there," Mom purrs as she caresses a hapless playgoer, "a Channing Tatum lookalike contest at CTC?"). Their performances match their delectable costumes (designed by Eduardo Sicangco): colorful, and extremely loud."
