About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a warm, lavish Cinderella musical with a prince-forward angle, catchy songs, and gentle humor; Not for you if you dislike long runtimes or prefer the brisker feel of Cinderella (1997).
Pros: charming fairy-tale musical; witty songs and humor; lavish costumes and sets | Cons: overlong runtime; uneven pacing later; Cinderella less developed
