Kids Commute - CINDERELLA WEEK!

Cinderella Week
Disney's Cinderella, 1950
Cinderella and her glass slipper

There are many different tellings of the Cinderella fairy tale, in fact the story has been around since before the 1600s!

The story of Cinderella has gone through many different retellings - this week on Kids Commute, we hear music from the Cinderella fairy tale in movies, musicals, opera, and even ballet!

We're focusing on Cinderella this week because the musical opens at Old Town Playhouse on February 17th. For more information and to get tickets to see the show, check out this link!

We'll also have a Cinderella themed Quizlet coming your way as well.
