Review 1 for The Other Cinderella

I loved this play. All of the characters were very intriguing. I especially loved the stepsisters in the play. They kept me entertained from beginning to end. Their rendition of "Can't go to the ball" had me in stitches. The ball was "happening"! Definitely a party I would like to attend. I also loved the page! He was so cool! In addition the costumes were awesome. I especially loved the fact that Cinderella was not forced to wear a long drab gown. The music was also cool and had some touches of modern styled music. The play did not get stale. They even came into the audience and interacted with the audience. If you want to be entertained in a theatrical atmosphere, you must definitely go see this play when it returns.

This play differently was a twist for me, I thought it was to be about someone winning the lottery and living like Kings and Queens; wearing the name brands shoes. I loved it and it was my very first time at the Black Ensemble... I love that they had a sign language lady who was really into the story telling of the play! I loved her as well and I do not even know sign language! Amazing, I found myself looking at her emotion through sign and it was amazing!

I have been attending performances at BET for several years now, but had never seen its *trademark* play, The Other Cinderella, an updated version of the classic. The music, though contemporary, was not memorable, the performances lacked any star quality, the band, however was amazing. It was a decent play, though I would not recommend it to anyone.

I took my 15 year old daughter to see this play and she enjoyed it! She immediately asked to see another production at the theatre. The theme was relatable for all ages. Will definitely recommend the play to friends and co-workers.

Needed a memorable song/jingle. Cinderella was not a very simpathatic character. ballroom needed more dancersor a holiday play it lacked any decorations or references to this special time of year.
I enjoyed the page,the wrap and reference to facebook and the symbolism of the hoodies. the addition of the dorothy character was unexpectedly fun.
The Fairy Godmother's portrayal was enjoyable as was the lady and gentleman in waiting. I did not get the relevance of light/dark skin references.

I thought that the play was MAGNIFICENT!!! Everything about it was SUPERB from the story line to the singing dancing and acting. Each actor/actress was outstanding and made each character they portrayed believable. I can't wait to see it again.

Truly delightful! The performance was definitely a "today" twist on the original cinderella story. The performers, the costumes, the props were wonderful! Each character played their roles flawlessly. I look forward to attending more from this group.

I truly enjoyed this play. It got off to a slow start, but it ended up being extremely entertaining. The theatre was not very elaborate, but the show was quite funny and the spin on the characters was very creative and colorful. The stepsisters were over the top in a good way. I would definitely suggest seeing this and I would go see it again!

This was a great production. There are very few actual props in this show but the costumes are great. The acting and singing were awesome. Because the Black Ensemble is such a small and intimate theater you are really close to the action. I mean you may literally have an actor sitting right next to you doing a scene. This particular Cinderella could be a little sarcastic and sassy at times and you really could feel Stepmama's pain. I love it when character's aren't all good or bad but have some depth to them. They tried to put in a message about acceptance that felt kind of dated and out of place in the production but otherwise is was a great show. Perfect for all ages.

This is a wonderfully enjoyable retelling of the old story. The setting is in the Kingdom of the Other which seems a bit like Chicago. Some of the performers have wonderful voices. The wicked stepmother gives an incredible performance. I felt energized by the experience.
