Synopsis

Hip Hop Cinderella is an intergalactic romp with a cool, hip hop vibe, adventure, and unforgettable songs.

In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale, teenage Cinderella and her rapping robot companion Runka live on planet Zolla. They toil under the thumb of Cinderella’s stepmom, Lady Zurka, and her two social media-obsessed stepsisters, Zig and Zag.

The galaxy has lost its groove, and the Prince is throwing a Hip Hop Ball and Rap Competition to turn the beat around. Traveling via a quantum time warp, Cinderella transforms into “Ella C” and fights to win the competition.

Hip Hop Cinderella is a fun, family-friendly musical. It’s a perfect opportunity to showcase a diverse cast of characters.
