"CINDERELLA"
OPENING AT DIAMOND HEAD THEATRE
Honolulu, HI, November
1, 2006—Diamond Head Theatre's next production, CINDERELLA,
opens on Friday, December 1, 2006.
With music by Richard Rodgers and book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein
II, CINDERELLA is filled with wonderful songs, wicked (but hilarious)
stepsisters, a lovingly pompous king and of course the glass-slippered
heroine, Cinderella. Originally presented on television in 1957
starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s CINDERELLA
was the most widely viewed program in history. Its recreation in
1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting
a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true.
Now as adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a
touch of laughter, the hearts of children and adults alike still
soar when the slipper fits. Musical Highlights: “In My Own
Little Corner”, “Do I Love You Because You’re
Beautiful”, and “Ten Minutes Ago”.
Guest directed by Greg Zane, guest choreographed by Tim Albrecht,
and with musical direction by Emmett Yoshioka, the show features
Ashley Ingersoll as Cinderella, Sean Jones as the Prince, Daniel
Kunkel as the King, Jessica Doyle as the Queen, Renee Noveck as
the Stepmother, Kristin Jann-Fischer as Joy, Melissa Bustamante
as Portia, Alison Maldonado as the Fairy Godmother, Viet Vo as the
Herald, Friston Ho'okano as the Chef, and James Kimo Kaona as the
Steward.
The ensemble includes: Angelito Anacan, Brian Gustaveson, Chantelle
Holt, Jodi Jarvis, Jenny Kimura, Kathryn Lee, Sandra Lee, Andrea
Lopes, Alex Lum, Chanel Meyers, Brad Mezurashi, Ellen Minkin, Leiney
Rigg, Nicole Sandry, Nicole Sullivan, Ashley Allen Tsuji, Grant
Uchida, and Candace Yoshioka. The children's ensemble includes:
Aurora Bunten, Celia Kenney, and Chad Masuda.
The creative team is comprised of set designers Vincent Green and
Dawn Oshima, costume designer Karen G. Wolfe, lighting designer
Dawn Oshima, sound designer Mikel Humerickhouse, make-up and hair
designer Jess Aki, props designer Douglas Scheer, and production
stage manager Denise Nakano.
