A tale of love and fantasy comes to Boca Raton starting this weekend. The Wick Theatre is opening its stage to the timeless classic, Cinderella, just in time for the holidays. Written by the legendary Broadway songwriters Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, who brought to the stage such musical classics as The Sound of Music, Oklahoma! and South Pacific, the fairytale is filled with marvelous melodies and heartfelt lyrics. An enchanting experience for the entire family, Cinderella runs from Nov. 25 to Dec. 24, with evening shows on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and matinees on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets are $79-$99 and are available at www.thewick.org or by calling the box office at 561995-2333. “More than just a glittering ball gown and glass slippers, this stunning adaptation was nominated for nine Tony Awards,” said Marilynn A. Wick, executive managing producer. “Presented in the inimitable Wick style, with elaborate costumes and sumptuous sets, this beloved fairytale is the perfect fit for the holiday season.” One of musical theatre’s most popular titles, CinderSociety
ella was originally written for television, making its debut in 1957 and starring Julie Andrews. It was then remade in versions starring Leslie Ann Warren (1965) and later with pop singer Brandy (1997). In 2013, the show made its long-overdue Broadway debut with a new book by Douglas Carter Beane, while retaining the cherished score including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/ It’s Possible,” “Ten Minutes Ago” and “Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful?” For this production, The Wick welcomes back Broadway Director Norb Joerder, who has helmed more than a dozen shows at the Wick, including last season’s blockbuster Gypsy. Also on board are Music Director-to-thestars Bobby Peaco and the choreographer for this season’s Milk and Honey, Oren Korenblum. Stepping into the famous glass slippers are two acclaimed performers -- Mallory Newbrough, who just won her second Carbonell Award and whose many stage performances include Belle in Beauty and the Beast at Wick, and Daniella Mass, who starred as Eva Peron in The Wick’s production of Evita. The Wick Theater is located at 7901 N. Federal Highway in Boca Raton.
