Join Alabama Ballet February 20-22 for Cinderella, a timeless tale complete with elegant dancing, comical miming, spectacular costumes and scenery. This fairy-tale ballet will captivate families and all who love classical ballet.  Choreographed and staged by Wes Chapman and Roger Van Fleteren, the ballet follows the longing of Cinderella, her magical encounter with the captivating Prince, and the ominous clock chiming midnight.  The dancing of Alabama Ballet’s 42 professional dancers is beautifully complemented by Sergei Prokofiev’s dazzling musical score. The production also includes a community cast of 26 dancers between the ages of 6 and 14. With the comical antics of the ugly stepsisters, this classical ballet is vibrant and bursting with wit. The magnificent sets and costumes, originals from San Francisco Ballet’s production of Cinderella, bring magic to this beloved ballet.
