Above The Basement - Boston Music and Conversation

Episode 124 - Zina Ellis of Cinderella

Episode Summary

Every so often we get the opportunity to catch a musical coming through Boston and then sit with the actors or musicians for a chat. We were especially lucky to have a conversation with the lovely Zina Ellis who plays the Fairy Godmother in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s CINDERELLA at the beautifully restored Emerson Colonial Theatre. We saw the show the night before talking with Zina and had a fantastic time. The show is a fresh new take on the beloved tale of a young woman who is transformed from a chambermaid into a princess. Hilarious and romantic, CINDERELLA combines the story’s classic elements – glass slippers, a pumpkin and a beautiful ball along with some surprising twists. But we aren’t going to give anything more away – you’ll just have to catch the show before it moves on to another town. Cinderella runs in Boston through December 30th and you can get your tickets at www.emersoncolonialtheatre.com
