Until last night, I had been very happy with the 2019 productions at the Muny, especially Guys and Dolls. But Cinderella was a huge disappointment. Not sure where the script came from, but the themes were all over the place. Obviously, someone thought the production needed to include social issues, but the numerous items completely overwhelm the play and eclipse the original story. Maybe one issue would have worked, but not so many. The computer generated opening reminded me of early computer games and was just cheesy, not the expectation of live theater. Not much choreography. Little to awe and entertain children and nothing for adults. Don t waste your money on Cinderella.
