Cinderella, played by Ballet Manila\u2019s principal artists Abigail Oliviero and Joan Emery Sia, is a kind-hearted young woman who endures the wicked ways of her stepmother (played by John Balagot) and stepsisters (alternately played by Jasmine Pia Dames and Rissa May Camaclang, and Nicole Barroso and Emma Harris).<\/p>\n

With the help of her Fairy Godmother (Kong Ke Xin), Cinderella is able to attend the ball where she meets Prince Charming (principal danseur Rudy De Dios and soloist Mark Sumaylo). The prince goes on a quest to find her after leaving her glass slipper\u00a0as she hurriedly departs at midnight.<\/p>\n

The production is set to bewilder the audience with Cinderella\u2019s transformation from soot girl to a princess who is ready to attend the palace\u2019s grand ball, scene-stealing moments of tiny \u201canimals\u201d who transform into coachmen, footmen, and white horses, and the amazing dance sequences performed by the Ballet Manila cast.<\/p>\n

In this production, Macuja-Elizade uses music from the Prokofiev score, melodies of Oscar Wallace from the 1950 animated film, and tunes from the musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein that are strung together with original sections by Roy de Valle, a composer and musical arranger.<\/p>\n

Cinderella is part of Ballet Manila\u2019s 23rd<\/sup>\u00a0performance season \u201cTour de Force\u201d<\/i><\/em>\u00a0and is the third production following Iconic 1.0, Iconic 2.0<\/i><\/em>\u00a0and Le Corsaire<\/i><\/em>.<\/p>\n
