Give the Gift of Cinderella This Christmas!

Rodgers + Hammerstein’s CINDERELLA is the Tony Award ® winning Broadway musical from the creators of The Sound of Music that delighted Broadway audiences with its surprisingly contemporary take on the classic tale.

Starring Shubshri Kandiah as Ella (Cinderella), Ainsley Melham as the charming Prince Topher; Silvie Paladino as the Fairy Godmother, Marie; and Nicholas Hammond as Sebastian, Prince Topher’s Lord Chancellor.

This lush production features incredible orchestrations, jaw-dropping transformations and all the moments you love—the pumpkin, the glass slipper, the masked ball and more—plus some surprising new twists! Be transported as you rediscover some of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s most beloved songs, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible” and “Ten Minutes Ago” in this hilarious and romantic experience for anyone who’s ever had a dream.

Acclaimed actor Nicholas Hammond will play the role of the Lord Chancellor, Sebastian, for the Brisbane and Sydney seasons of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella, taking over from Todd McKenney who played Sebastian in Melbourne. An actor and writer, Nicholas Hammond is best known for his roles as Friedrich von Trapp in the film The Sound of Music and as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the 1970s television series The Amazing Spider-Man. His many film and TV appearances include Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Love Boat, Magnum PI, Murder She Wrote and recurring roles on Falcon Crest and Dallas, as well as The Challenge, Fields of Fire and Farscape in Australia.

“We’re also thrilled that Nicholas Hammond has agreed to return to tread the boards again in his first stage musical to play Sebastian. With an extraordinary list of credits, we know audiences will be delighted to see Nicholas on stage once more.”
