In Scot Copeland’s final show as director, he takes us into the world of Cinderella, set in late 19th century Austria at Christmastime. The scenic design takes cues from the Toy Theatre tradition, and fully embraces theatricality, with beautifully painted soft flats framing the action. The characters and script find influences from British panto to Dickens’s Christmas Carol, as the clock approaches midnight.

This show was a wonderful exercise in stagecraft, traditional and contemporary.

• Exceptional scenic artistry by Rachael Silverman, painted on traditional muslin Broadway flats as well as three-dimensional scenery.

• Inticrately drawn and executed CNC scrollwork, on a moving carriage drawn by scrollwork horses across the stage, operated by hand offstage by block-and-tackle.

• Magic sleight-of-hand (the dress swap, mice to horses, pumpkin to carriage)

• Falling snow
