Muny's 'Into the Woods' NOW has a Cinderella.#1

Posted: 5/12/15 at 1:34pm

I find it very unusual that both Broadway World and Playbill have announced the full cast for this production yet there is no mention of who is playing Cinderella.

Are they getting a big name to play her with an announcement later or is this going to be the first production without the character? It's most confusing.

ETA: Find out in post #13 who will be playing Cinderella.

They can't cut her.

I mean, how could they?

I'm sure it's either an oversight or they're waiting to make a special announcement.

Yeah, I kept seeing "full cast" and then doing a find in page for Cinderella, and there was one. So weird.

It's clearly either a clerical error or they're waiting to announce it. It would be against copyright law to delete the character (and also it would make no sense to the story).

The actor playing Cinderella hasn't signed yet so they couldn't announce.  Not a big star though.

So, then, there is no truth to those Anna Kendrick as Cinderella rumours I just made up?

I heard from my source that Anna Kendrick was going to play Cinderella.

They had hired someone who became unavailable.

They're going to pass a glass slipper around the audience each night. Whoever fits it gets the part.

They will do something like they did in Spamalot to find the chalice each night to find who has the slipper.

Curious, does anyone know if they tried to get someone else who fell through?
