Kelly Critic Review: 'Cinderella,' Pittsburgh Brashear High School

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: In an era when children dream of visiting Disney World just to catch a glimpse of Princess Elsa from the 2013 film, “Frozen,” or Princess Erida from the 2012 film, “Brave,” we as adults must come to the realization that the classic fairytales from our youth no longer hold the same cultural prominence they once did. So is there still room for a classic princess tale?

Pittsburgh Brashear High School provides the audience with an answer with a passionate and benevolent production of Roger and Hammerstein’s 1957 “Cinderella (Enchanted).” Brashear’s cheerful group numbers, well-cast couples, and endearing Fairy Godmother make it clear that the story of Cinderella is not outdated.
