Burlesque Upon A Time: Cinderella

Apologies for the long gap in between posts, 2011 has turned into a rollercoaster of a year already! If you've been hiding under a bridge, locked in a tower, or turned into a toad you may not have heard that Peaches 'n' Gin has a brand new production in this year's Adelaide Fringe Festival, called "Burlesque Upon A Time". We feel that many fairytale heroines, heroes and villains have never been able to tell their full story, and so we have given them an outlet through which to do so.

You can see the show on the following dates:

Feb 21 & 27 @ 7pm
Feb 25, 26, Mar 4, 5 @ 11pm
Nexus Multicultural Arts Centre
Buy your tickets through FringeTix

In the lead-up to opening night, I'll be talking to some of the cast about their preparation for the show, their thoughts and feelings, and other sentimental nonsense. Today I bring you the first of a series of interviews. This one, is with Cinderella.



Luna: Good morning, Cinderella! How are you today?
Cinderella: Not too bad, feeling slightly flustered!
L: Why so flustered?
C: Well, there is a lot to do, and I have had to do all the work on my own as the Prince has taken all of my serving ladies with him. Some sort of retreat or something...
L: A retreat? Doesn't it bother you that the Prince has run off with a bunch of ladies?
C: Oh no not at all. The Prince and I have a bit of an arrangement...

L: Erm....ok then....What are you hoping audiences of Burlesque Upon A Time will learn about your tale?
C: I'm aiming to show the audience what really happened after midnight. I mean, a fairy godmother can only get you so far. A girls got to have certain skills to get where I am today.

L: What is your favourite thing about your performance?
C: It's my chance to glow!
L: Don't you mean shine...?
C: No, definietly glow. You'll have to come to the show to find out what I mean! *wink.

L: Last question, is there any one in the show you don't get along with?
C: Yes, the Snow Queen is a real icicle. She seems to think she's better then everyone else, just because she's got big, sparkly wings.

Tune in later to see what The Snow Queen has to say about that!
