02/09/2015 01:39PM ● By Steven Hoffman

Oxford Area High School will take children of all ages back to the days of "Once upon a time ... " when Rodgers & Hammerstein's classic musical version of the beloved fairy tale Cinderella is presented on Friday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 21 at 2 and 7 p.m. in the auditorium of the school located at 705 Waterway Road, East Nottingham.

Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for students and children and can be purchased at http://oxfordtheater.wikispaces.com/ Tickets can also be purchased by calling 484-365-6155 and will be available at the door for each performance.

The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Cinderella was at the time the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium.

Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true. So was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother.
