Sweet Little Musical

(3 out of 5 stars)
"Mr. Cinders is an inversion of the Cinderella fairy tale with the gender roles reversed. The Prince Charming character has become a modern (1928) young and forceful woman, and Mr. Cinders (Jim) is the down-trodden Cinderella figure, a menial.
Music by Vivian Ellis & Richard Myers, and the libretto by Clifford Grey & Gretarex Newman.
There are two acts with three scenes in the first act and four in the second act. They are set in the noble home of Merton Chase.
The show is sweet. The music is a lot of fun, and is very classic 1920's musical style. It's not a show that you will listen to over and over, but it is a great addition if you love/collect musical soundtracks!
