Cinderella: the Remix

Imagination Stage
4908 Auburn Avenue Bethesda

Cinderella lives in the basement of her Step Mama's house, mixing beats and dreaming of being a DJ. But in Hip-Hop Hollywood, girls are not allowed to DJ and "frontin'" is a crime. When the super-famous J-Prince announces auditions for his "Jam," Cinderella disguises herself as a boy to get the gig. With some help from her Fairy Godmother Hope-rah, Cinderella DJs the Jam (at least until midnight)! Will she ever be allowed to spin as her true self? Or will Cinderella be convicted of frontin' and sentenced to solitary confinement with only the music of Kenny G. for company?

"...Imagination Stage is targeting “Cinderella: The Remix” at ages 5 to 10. But older theatergoers will appreciate the production’s ebullient allusiveness. Early on in the story, for instance, Bad Ma’amajama describes the dire punishment Hip-Hop Hollywood’s judicial system metes out to those caught “frontin’ ” (showing off inauthentically): The culprit gets a year in prison in solitary confinement — with the music of Kenny G on a constant loop."

"...Imagination Stage presents Cinderella: The Remix, an exciting retelling of the classic written and directed by Psalmayene 24, with hip-hop beats by Nick Hernandez. The final production in Psalmayene 24′s highly successful Hip-Hop Children’s Trilogy, this Remix is everything that a powerhouse children’s production should be– thrilling, fun, and with an inspirational message that pulses through the show like an electric current."

"...This Cinderella story highlights the importance of tolerance, acceptance and respect through fun music and dance, and that’s what I call a happily ever after."

With references to Rosa Parks, Michelle Obama, and Susan B. Anthony, Cinderella: The Remix isn’t the light glittery affair you’d imagine at first glance. The cast takes on their roles with skill: Paige Hernandez plays Cinderella with spunk and grace and her choreography throughout the performance is playful and interesting to watch.
