The Los Angeles Children’s Theater’s magical production of the classic fairy tale Cinderella features three real sisters in the leading roles.

The lovely and talented Ashleigh, Beau and Brooke Dawson play Cinderella and her two evil stepsisters with the realism only possible with three real sisters! 

LACT’s Cinderella is filled with miracles and wonder.  This enchanting production features dazzling magical tricks, delightful dance numbers, extravagant costumes, enchanting scenic and lighting design, and memorable characters.

Cinderella shares a glorious dance with the Prince, but then is discovered as a ragamuffin in a ragged dress.  Will the Prince love her when he finds her? Was she the thief who stole the glass slipper…or the future Princess? Will the Prince even let her try on the glass slipper in such a state as she is?

Come see this delightful and “true” version of Cinderella at the Little Theater. Great for all audiences ages 3 and up.
