She rose from a life as a servant to her stepmother and stepsisters to become a princess. Cinderella has captured the hearts of generations as a humble young girl with a generous spirit who wins the love of a prince.

Spectacular backdrops, stunning costumes and soaring dancers that will leave you breathless are only a part of the Cinderella production. You will laugh out loud at the antics of the stepsisters, gasp at the beauty, strength and elegance of Cinderella and her prince and smile as the child dancers portray the clock ticking towards midnight.

“This is truly a production that will leave you smiling and wanting to come back again and again,” says Pat George Mitchell, Founder and Artistic Director for Longview Ballet Theatre.
