Are you familiar with the tale of Cinderella?
No….. not that one!
.
I’m talking about the good old Walt Disney classic that we all used to watch when we were younger. The one with the dancing mice and singing birds! “A dream is a wish your heart makes… when you’re fast asleep….” I think for those on the same age bracket as myself, this version of Cinderella was the most famous one.
.
Yep! That one!
.
Most of us are only familiar with the version presented by Charles Perrault or the Grimm Brothers; which are both similar to the Disney adaptation. We failed however to realize the many other versions this classic tale actually had. Cinderella actually had different versions in different cultures!

From Theater Down South, artistic director Michael Williams from the original Miss Saigon cast brings you the one of kind musical of “The Princess and The Red Carp”. The book, music and lyrics are even by company member Joonee Garcia. The musical opened last August 22 and will have its final run this Sunday, September 19, 2010. The play targets the young audience but is still very appealing to the older crowd.
