Tanglewood Marionettes - Cinderella Performance
Saturday, February 24 at 2 pm
Set in the 18th century and featuring a dozen lavishly costumed 30” marionettes, this production of Cinderella is a Tanglewood Marionettes showpiece. The story unfolds as the pages of a giant book open to reveal each beautifully painted setting—the village square, the rustic kitchen, the magnificent ballroom, plus many more. All your favorite characters are here, from gentle Cinderella to the bumptious stepsisters and the charming Prince, and each marionette is manipulated with precision and grace by these talented puppeteers.
This telling is based on the original beloved tale, but it offers a few new surprises: Cinderella’s method of conveyance to the ball is NOT the traditional horse-drawn coach, and, when all hope seems lost, a clever little bluebird saves the day for Cinderella. A classic fairy tale told with wit and style, Tanglewood Marionettes’ production of Cinderella is sure to please audiences of all ages.
You won’t want to miss the beautifully hand-crafted marionettes, colorful sets, and integrated lighting and sound that create a fully immersive theatrical experience appreciated by all ages.
