Glorietta Elementary School Students have a Ball with its Musical Presentation of Cinderella.

Orinda, Calif., April 23, 2012 — With 96 fourth and fifth grade students participating in its 13th spring musical, Glorietta Elementary School presents Cinderella. The Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical is based upon the classic fairytale Cinderella in which a young woman forced into a life of servitude by her cruel stepmother and self-centered stepsisters, dreams of a better life. With the help of her zany Fairy Godmother, Cinderella is transformed into a Princess and finds her Prince.

As charming as its Prince, Glorietta’s presentation of Cinderella has all the winning theatrical ingredients of song, dance and comedy to entertain audiences of all ages. Glorietta’s large-scale production of Cinderella includes engaging choreography, innovative sets, and darling costumes. The production hits all the right musical notes with songs including “Impossible: It’s Possible” and “10 Minutes Ago.”

“It has been a true pleasure watching these kids put their hearts and souls into this beautiful musical production of Cinderella,” says musical co-producer and Glorietta parent, Leslie O’Brien. “Through their tireless dedication and, at times, humor, the tech and set crews and entire cast have worked together to bring this classic fairytale to life.”

Ron Pickett, a professional award-winning actor, returns to direct his 14th show at Glorietta Elementary School. Musical Director, Ralph Severson, celebrates his 18th year. Parent volunteers of the production include co-producers Leslie O’Brien and Shelli Brudzinski and technical director Lara Dutto.

Performances of Cinderella will be at the Glorietta Elementary School multipurpose room on Friday, May 4th at 4:00pm and 7:00pm and Saturday, May 5th at 3:00pm and 7:00pm. Visit www.orindaschools.org/glorietta for ticket information.
