Cinderella: Once upon a Time... @ The Pearl

2025.0706-Cinderella_ok_7-6.27KV.jpg

Step into a world where fairy tales meet the digital age. In a kingdom obsessed with fame, filters, and going viral, Cinderella is a bookish dreamer stuck in the shadows. 

But when a delightfully chaotic Fairy Godmother shows up, Cindy gets a chance to swap her books for a ball gown and show the selfie-obsessed Prince Charming and her influencer-wannabe Stepsisters that there’s more to life than hashtags and highlight reels.

This is not your grandmother’s fairy tale. Get ready for a whirlwind of pop anthems, Broadway showstoppers, and over-the-top costumes that will leave you dazzled.

With a cast of wild characters, laugh-out-loud moments, and a heartwarming message that real magic comes from staying true to yourself, Cinderella: Once upon a Time... is a reminder that fairy tales are always better with a little chaos—and a lot of sparkle.
