Cinderella, de musical in Ghent

This production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella brings the reimagined fairy tale to Ghent. The musical, with lyrics by David Zippel and a book by Emerald Fennell, recasts gender relationships and explores themes of beauty shaming and self-acceptance. Attendees can expect a modern twist on the classic story, where Cinderella changes her appearance to secure love but ultimately learns it is better to be true to oneself.

The show features a score that earned a Grammy nomination for Best Musical Theater Album. The plot includes memorable numbers like "Bad Cinderella" and "Beauty Has a Price," set in the town of Belleville. This version offers a fresh take on the beloved tale, with a rebellious Cinderella and a prince who must choose between duty and love.
