Once again I found myself at the Broadway theater (by the way, can I just get it off my chest how much I HATE the name of this theater?! Not even remotely original.) to see Cinderella. I made sure that this time around, I would pay a LOT of attention to the costume changes! Laura Osnes was once again gorgeous and charming, and I really enjoyed Santino Fontana's Prince Topher. I enjoyed him last time, and he was very consistent. Victoria Clark once again was amazing as the Fairy Godmother, warming the entire room with her oozing vocals. I loved Ann Harada again. She has great delivery in her lines even if I knew what was coming next.
The choreography is so fun in this show. It's like the choreographer (Josh Rhodes) knew what everyone wanted to see; big show stopping numbers, lots of turns, double kicks, tricks, lifts, and all while wearing ball gowns. The costume changes were once again AMAZING, and I made sure to see how it happened. Laura is so smooth in her "choreography" to change her dresses. Everything is thin and fits nicely into her bosum of her dresses. When she unties the top, it all falls down to reveal her "under" dress, the beautiful ball gown. I still stand by my thoughts of Laura and Victoria getting nominated for tonys, though I am not sure if Ann Harada will get a nomination.
It's a fun show and we even saw a proposal happen the night we went. How does one go about doing that anyway? Do you just approach an usher?!
