Young actors, actresses and singers from Drayton Heights Public School have committed to countless hours of practice in order to present their version of the Cinderella story to the community.
Twinderella: The Musical, based on the popular Cinderella story, has an added twist that is sure to keep showgoers entertained from the opening line until the final curtain is drawn, officials say. Senior students make up the cast and crew with junior students performing in the choir.
The musical opens with the revealing of Cinderella’s long lost twin brother, Bob, who resides in the same kingdom as Cinderella but lives with his evil stepfather and cruel stepbrothers.
His days are filled with catering to his family’s wishes of making dried herb wreaths and organizing sock drawers. In order to please her cruel and evil family, Cinderella must rotate tires on the Suburban and polish bowling trophies.
With assistance from a Fairy Godfather and Godmother and two enchanted gerbils, the twins make their way into the kingdom’s exclusive royal society.
Cinderella hopes to attend Princess Petunia’s birthday gala and Bob wants to play in Prince Percy’s all kingdom baseball game. After Cinderella hits a game winning home run, the two disappear at the stroke of midnight. The search is on to find the feet that fit the glass slipper and the muddy cleat.
The community is invited to this family-friendly event on May 17 and 18 at 7pm at Drayton Heights Public School.
Admission is $6 for adults, $3 for students and $18 for families. For more information contact the school at 519-638-3067.
