WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Broadway musical “Cinderella” will be performed at Purdue University’s Elliott Hall of Music on Jan. 12 at 7 p.m. 

This performance is presented by Purdue Convocations with support from Purdue Federal Credit Union. 

Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” is the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical from the creators of “The Sound of Music” and “South Pacific,” that’s delighting audiences with its fresh take on the classic tale. The production features an incredible orchestra, jaw-dropping production features and all the favorite aspects — the pumpkin, the glass slipper, the masked ball and more — plus some surprising new twists. Some of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most beloved songs, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible,” and “Ten Minutes Ago,” are part of this hilarious and romantic Broadway experience for anyone who’s ever had a wish, a dream or a really great pair of shoes.
