Cinderella, A Fairly True Story is an enthralling theatrical production for all ages, that follows the tale of Cinderella as we know it but through the eyes of an inquisitive reporter. Retaining the classic elements such as the ball, the pumpkin transformation and iconic glass slippers, you will follow this reimagined fable of Cinderella meeting her prince through a missing glass slipper. Cinderella, A Fairly True Story will make its Asian premiere at Resorts World Theatre at Resorts World Sentosa from 10 December 2015 till 6 January 2016.
Presented by RWS in association with Belgium’s Music Hall, Cinderella, A Fairly True Story focuses on the existential problem of Cinderella as an orphan girl growing in forced circumstances among her terrible stepmother and two stepsisters. As the reporter recounts to the audience Cinderella’s life and ambitions, he rejects any magical interventions and encourages Cinderella to face up to her own responsibility. Adapted from a previous version staged in Europe in 2013, Assepoester, Het Tamelijk Ware Verhaal, the lighthearted fairytale-themed story with a contemporary twist is performed by an international cast and packed with eye-popping spectacle. You will be brought on an enchanting journey with its high-tech scene projections and spectacular visual effects including the fascinating pumpkin and Cinderella’s dress transformations.
