ETC_The Dancing Princesses logoTHE DANCING PRINCESSES
Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati

Book by Joseph McDonough
Music & lyrics by David Kisor

Bath as Joziam, Andrea Beasley as Dario, Timothy Belton as Jack, Antonio Cruz as Pharron, Kenneth Early as Aldrin, Shonita Joshi as Nritya, Sara Mackie as Woman, Andrew Maloney as Mack, Malyssa Quinn as Tusu, Emmy Rice as Natayla, Elexis Selmon as Gidela, Brooke Steele as Tiva and Kate Wilford as Zilda

From the creators of last season’s hit Cinderella comes a whimsical adaptation of the classic fairy tale! Wanting the best for his daughters, an overprotective king locks the castle doors each night. Yet, each morning, the princesses’ shoes have been curiously worn to tatters. Keen to cobble together the mystery of the frayed footwear, the King resorts to drastic measures of royal proportions. This is the heartfelt and humorous story of five uniquely different princesses who embark upon a journey of the imagination that explores the universal quest for understanding, acceptance, and love. The Dancing Princesses is suitable for all ages!

Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
Nov. 26-27
Music Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

Elim Chan, conductor
Khatia Buniatishvili, piano

Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto, an engine of lush melodies, churning energies and Russian romanticism, is performed by Khatia Buniatishvili, a “shining pianist at the height of her abilities.” Elgar’s Enigma Variations are sketches of his dear friends, each containing, as Elgar noted, “a distinct idea founded on some particular personality.” Elim Chan, “an impressive young conductor who makes an occasion of orchestral writing” (The New York Times), takes us through each heartfelt journey.

We believe that great music is for everyone, regardless of your budget. This concert is eligible for Pay What You Wish Pricing, as well as other discounts. To learn more visit Music for All.

Directed by Lindsey Augusta Mercer
Music directed by Erin McCamley

There’s only one day a year that scale-covered Trevor can blend in with the crowd: “Monster Fest.” Tired of hiding, he sets out to make a love connection – but Fate might just be calling him, instead.
