(FRENCHTOWN, NJ) -- Cinderella, part of the Children’s Classic Stories repertoire Roxey Ballet is known for, features unforgettable characters, original choreography by Mark Roxey, stunning costumes and sets, and masterful lighting. Viewers of all ages will delight in the unfolding of Cinderella's fairy tale story. With two matinee performances (May 6-7), a school show (May 5) and a sensory-friendly show (April 29), Cinderella is a family-friendly production you won’t want to miss.

Says Artistic Director Mark Roxey, “Roxey Ballet’s Cinderella is a production that is created for all ages. It is funny, poignant, and has some of the most beautiful choreographic sequences of all the classics. The costumes and sets are magnificent.”
