Synopsis

The Primo Pasta Players turn the Cinderella tale topsy-turvy with their own brand of zany, pasta-loving fun. Help the Players get ready for the ball, save our heroine from a wild boar, and stop the villainous clown from stealing the crown. There are opportunities to add music and dance, and in the end, silly rules the land!

"There aren't many Fringe offerings that are truly all-ages shows, but this is one and it's very fun, even if attending kid-less. It's an adaptation of 'La Cenerentola,' the Italian folk tale that inspired 'Cinderella' (and Rossini's opera), but in Claudia Haas's version, the title character is OCD about cleaning, which is too much for her stepmother but just right for an order-obsessed prince. It's presented like the kind of comedies performed in Renaissance-era public squares, and is delivered with a light touch and plenty of kid-pleasing charm. They may even come away with the impression that cleaning is fun." - Ron Hubbard, St. Paul Pioneer Press
