🎬 Cinderella 2026 — Information for Leads & Upper-Level Dancers

Show Week: May 4–10, 2026
Location: Montrose Pavilion

🔔 General Overview

  • Leads are assigned to specific casts or show groupings. Some Leads perform across multiple casts (for example, Cast A and B or Shows 1–3), while others appear in only certain shows. Please review the cast list carefully to confirm your exact assignments.

  • Upper-Level dancers (Level 5/6) appear in multiple shows across different casts. All assignments are now finalized.

  • There will be:

    • Three Full Dress Rehearsals (one for each cast: A, B, and C)

    • Four Split Dress Rehearsals (smaller/chopped dress rehearsals prior to specific performances)

    • Six performances total (two per cast)

The Thursday afternoon, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday morning split dress rehearsals will be shorter than the full dress rehearsals. If you are a lead performing with a class during one of these rehearsals, or a class assistant/student teacher assigned to a class performing in one of these shows, please review the call-time details for that specific day and class.

These rehearsals will cover specific classes and scenes for that day’s performance (not a full show run). We have done our best to include all required lead roles and groups. If you believe you should be included and are not listed, please check with Miss Natasha for clarification. When in doubt, ask.
