About A Tale of Cinderella
Christianne Tisdale (Broadway's +Beauty and the Beast) headlines this stage musical adaptation of the Cinderella story, produced by the New York State Theatre Institute in 1996. It recounts the familiar tale of a minor and inconsequential scrubgirl who longs to meet the prince of her dreams but is constantly thwarted by her vile and manipulative stepsisters and stepmother - until her colorful Godmama (Lorraine Serabian) shows up. George David Weiss and Will Severin composed the music to lyrics by Weiss, W.A. Frankonis wrote the book, and Adrienne Spagnola Posner choreographed.
Directed by Tom Gliserman, Patricia B. Snyder, A Tale of Cinderella leans on a strong ensemble — Vanessa Thorpe, Christianne Tisdale, Lorraine Serabian — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 1998.
