Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein’s fairy tale classic Cinderella will receive a one-night-only concert performance at London’s Cadogan Hall October 20 at 6:30 PM.
Jonathan O’Boyle (The View Upstairs) will direct the semi-staged concert that will utilize the script and score from the 2013 Broadway adaptation of Cinderella, which features an updated book by Douglas Carter Beane and additional songs from the Rodgers and Hammerstein catalog.
Casting will be announced at a later date.
The performance will feature the 21-piece London Musical Theatre Orchestra under the direction of Freddie Tapner.
The Cadogan Hall concert is produced by Brian Zeilinger & Jack Maple for Take Two Theatricals and Darren Bell for Club 11 London.
Julie Andrews starred in the 1957 made-for-television premiere of Cinderella, which was broadcast live to more than 107 million viewers across the U.S. The instant classic was remade for television in 1965 with Lesley Ann Warren in the title role, and again in 1997, starring Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother.
Laura Osnes, Victoria Clark, and Santino Fontana starred in the 2013 Broadway adaptation, which received nine Tony nominations, winning for Best Costume Design.
