YOUNG PLAYERS AT THE ROYAL THEATRE Present Cinderella Youth Edition July 9-19, 2026
The prince is giving a ball, and you are invited. Sponsored by Everett Buick GMC, the Royal Theatre brings this Cinderella musical to life with a special youth edition. This isn’t just an ordinary version of Cinderella. This is a specially created Youth Edition. Yes, all the beloved songs from the original are present but the script is condensed to better suit young attention spans. The plot has also been slightly altered to highlight some important lessons for contemporary audiences.
Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella, youth edition puts a new spin on the beloved fairytale that continues to enchant audiences with the timeless themes of kindness, love, and the power of dreams. The story follows Ella, a young woman who lost her father and lives as a servant to her wickedly cruel stepmother and stepsisters.
