Bad Cinderella‘s design team includes Gabriela Tylesova (sets and costumes), Bruno Poet (lighting), Gareth Owen (sound), and Luc Verschueren (hair and wigs). Directing is Laurence Connor, and choreographing is JoAnn M. Hunter.

This modern retelling of the fairytale finds Cinderella and her prince in circumstances that cause them to rethink what “happily ever after” really means.
