Student performers soar in Cinderella

Just over midway through the upper school musical, Natasha Rodriguez '23 – RE’s Cinderella – sang "all your life you'll dream of this lovely night." Those lyrics not only advanced the plot of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, they also captured the delight all around – live music, a cast talented beyond their years, brilliant costumes and stage design, fun musical numbers and witty one liners. The execution of the classic musical at the Lewis Family Auditorium demonstrated the vastness of talent in the program and thoroughly engaged the hundreds who attended the April 13-15 performances.

Rodriguez and Armando Segrera ’25 (Prince Topher) led a host of featured performers who breathed a special freshness into the old-time fairytale with charm, grace and hilarity under director Laura Montes. The seniors in the cast, Rodriguez, Nico Maynulet ’23 (Sebastian) and Natasha do Valle ’23 (Marie) played major parts, as did Jaerla Sajous ’23, Lucia Soto ’24, Emma Holtzman ’24, Henry Berler ’25, Rowan Tolon ’24, Charles Derick ’26 and Morgan Williams ’26. They were bolstered by the presence of the school’s new vocal ensemble under Montes and live musicians, including five RE students. Two dozen students contributed to the extraordinary set, and a dozen worked sound, lighting and costumes.
