Review: The Washington Ballet's Cinderella at The National Theatre is an Exquisite Production

The story of Cinderella is a classic known and beloved across the world for its rags-to-riches plot.

Edwaard Liang’s rendition of the fairy tale at the Washington Ballet is nothing short of a revelation, packed with entrancing choreography throughout all three acts. Here, a classic tale is reinvented to somehow exude even more elegance.
