Cinderella is one of the sweetest fairytales ever written, with its hard-working heroine finding her prince in the end. This holiday season, Ross Petty puts a Toronto-centric spin on the familiar tale, adding several of his famous “fractured fairy tale” characters into the mix. <em><strong>Cinderella—The Gags to Riches Family Musical!</strong></em> is a hilariously funny musical production full of talented performers with a few surprises thrown in.</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-exclusive"> <div class="field-label">Exclusive:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Not Exclusive </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-number-float field-field-stars"> <div class="field-label">Stars:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> 4.5 </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-date field-field-show-dates"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Show Dates:&nbsp;</div> <span class="date-display-start">Sun, 2014-12-07</span><span class="date-display-separator"> - </span><span class="date-display-end">Sun, 2015-01-04</span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-theatre"> <div class="field-label">Theatre:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/theatres/elgin-and-winter-garden-theatres">Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres</a> </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="http://www.theatromania.ca/news/cinderella%E2%80%94-gags-riches-family-musical" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://www.theatromania.ca/news/cinderella%E2%80%94-gags-riches-family-musical#comments Reviews Ross Petty Productions Mon, 08 Dec 2014 00:12:30 +0000 Victoria Bégin 890 at http://www.theatromania.ca The Little Mermaid http://www.theatromania.ca/news/ross-petty-productions-little-mermaid <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-header-images"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_header_images" width="2961" height="2647" alt="" src="http://www.theatromania.ca/sites/default/files/1_Chilina%20Kennedy_The%20Little%20Mermaid_Photo%20by%20Racheal%20McCaig.jpg?1385737229" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-subtitle"> <div class="field-label">Subtitle:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p>Ross Petty gives this popular underwater fairy tale a spectacularly silly makeover</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-headline"> <div class="field-label">Headline:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Review </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-credits"> <div class="field-label">Credits:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p>Presented by Ross Petty Productions<br />Written by Reid Janisse<br />Directed by Tracey Flye</p> </div> </div> </div> <p>It may be a fairy tale that everyone is familiar with, mostly due to its immortalization by Walt Disney in 1989, but as a sea sponge and clownfish explain excitedly, this version has been “bent” slightly.
