A little inside info...
Many of those who will attend this great occasion do not realize the talent that lies in the music section of the play. One such universally known musician is violist Chauncey Patterson. Mr.
Patterson had risen through the ladder of prominence having played with The Montani String Quartet, Miami String Quartet and the Fine Arts Quartet. Chauncey Patterson combines his passion for
perfection, the true honesty of a classical viola performance and the sound of the rare valuable instrument Patterson acquired with money, luck and fate. Chauncey Patterson has an impressive art
college and career resume, however a little know fact exisits about his high school 'career'. Chauncey Patterson was the first black student body president in North Carolina in 1979. So when you
go to the Cinderella Musical, now you know about another special 'Cinderella Story' person playing his heart out in the orchestra pit. ... Read more

Exhilarating Production!
Loved it! Took my daughter and granddaughter for what turned out to be a delightful
afternoon. I had re-watched the Lesley Ann Warren TV production and cringed at some
of the scenes. This stage version was smartly updated with the emphasis on kindness,
empathy and forgiveness -- the characteristics I am eager to instill in my grandchildren.
Thank you! ... Read more

Cinderella at Tuacahn
Not sure I understand your reviewing system since none of these reviews seem to be of the production at
Tuacahn - which is wonderful. Beautiful sets, costumes, wonderful orchestra, and extremely talented cast.
Gorgeous vocals, lovely dancing, great acting. Absolutely loved it and so did everyone else sitting around me.
The new version does have a political edge to it. But what’s wrong with an endorsement of kindness and
female agency? Most definitely take the kids. There’s magic in the air. ... Read more
