‘Cinderella’ Maps National Tour in 2014

The new Broadway production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” recently received nine 2013 Tony nominations, and producers have just announced that a national tour will be launched during the 2014-2015 season.

The new production features songs with words by Oscar Hammerstein II and music by Richard Rodgers, as well as a new book by Tony nominee Douglas Carter, known for “Sister Act,” “The Little Dog Laughed,” “The Nance” and others.

“We are thrilled to be taking Cinderella on the road,” said producer Robyn Goodman in a statement announcing the tour. “It’s exciting to have the romance and humor of our show embraced by audiences, and also to be recognized with so many awards nominations. We look forward to sharing the magic of Cinderella with audiences throughout the country.”

No dates or cities have yet been released for the new tour.

The production is directed by Mark Brokaw, known for his work on “The Lyons” and “Cry-Baby.” The show opened on March 3 at the Broadway Theatre, after beginning previews on January 25. Among the Tony Awards “Cinderella” was nominated for are Best Revival of a Musical, Best Book of a Musical and Best Orchestrations.
