REVIEW: The bibbidi-bobbidi-boo in GHFTheatre's bilingual Cinderella story lies in the storytelling.
The Cinderella story is not a tale as old as time. That entitlement belongs to, or so claims the title song from the 1991 Disney animated film. But the folktale about a young woman living in forsaken circumstances that suddenly change to remarkable fortune and her ascension to the throne by marriage dates back to Ancient Greece during the late first century BCE.
There are thousands of variants of the Cinderella story throughout the world, but perhaps none are as flat-out charming as the bilingual play, originally created by Austin's Caroline Reck of Glass Half Full Theatre in partnership with Rupert Reyes of Teatro Vivo. Commissioned by and staged at the Zach Theatre in 2015, this one-act, one-woman work has been revisited and returns home for a second staging.
The show is directed and largely designed by Reck, with other design elements by Rachel Atkinson and Pete Martinez . The show stars UT-Austin grad Madison Palomo who, at 4 feet, 9 inches tall and very talented, is convincing as preteen Belinda, a budding poet who lives with her stepmother and stepsisters .
The show's posted age recommendation of"five & up," the program's offering of a fun wordsearch puzzle on the back, and attentive first-graders from Barbara Jordan Elementary School dominating the seating at the matinee of my attendance suggest thatis children's theatre. Perhaps.
