MANILA, Philippines - After bringing in such stage triumphs as KAOS, the Sound Of Music, and the currently staging The King And I, Resorts World Manila will soon bring in the Rodgers and Hammerstein theater classic Cinderella. Round 1 auditions for the title role are slated today together with lead roles and ensemble, at the Newport Performing Arts Theater Vestibule, third floor, Newport Mall, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Registration starts at 8 a.m. Ladies for the role of Cinderella aged 18 to 25 are welcome to audition with the piece In My Own Little Corner, while Prince Christopher hopefuls aged 20 to 30 will perform Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful. Other roles open for auditions are the Fairy Godmother, Stepmother, Stepsisters (Joy and Grace), the Steward Lionel and the King And Queen. There will also be an audition for the production’s vocal ensemble. As a prime advocate in the promotion of Philippine theater arts both here and abroad, the country’s one-stop, nonstop tourism destination is in the drawing board for yet another worthy production in Cinderella, as current theater offering The King And I at the Newport Performing Arts Theater continues to receive good reviews. The King And I will have its final show in May.
