Cinderella Adaptation to Play Off Broadway in 2014 Cinderella is one of those characters and stories, like Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland, that theater directors and writers love to reimagine - and that reliably sell tickets. "Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella," which began performances on Broadway in January, has regularly surpassed $1 million a week at the box office, and another musical based on the mistreated beauty and her fairy godmother - "Ever After" - is being developed by Broadway producers and director Kathleen Marshall. But next up is an Off Broadway play, "Cinderella/Cendrillon," which will begin performances at New York Theater Workshop in May 2014, the theater announced on Thursday. The adaptation, based on the Brothers Grimm version of the tale, is written and directed by the French theater artist Joel Pommerat, who founded the Compagnie Louis Brouillard in 1990 and has worked at several Parisian theaters. The play has been translated into English and is the fourth and final production of the theater's 2013-14 season.
