Cinderella the Musical comes to a close with performances this Friday, Nov. 3, at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 4, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 5, at 2:30 p.m. Performer Brady Wagner, director Mikayla Stockhaus, and pit member Adelynn Welsh shared their feelings on the musical thus far.

Wagner is “kind of nervous” about the musical this year. Wagner is playing Madame, the “evil stepmother” in the show, and is excited for her scene where she gets to “rip up Cinderella’s dress,” she said. Although she has struggled to memorize her lines thus far, Wagner believes the show will be ready by opening night. “If I buckle down and memorize my lines,” Wagner said she’ll be ready to take the stage.

Stockhaus is the director of the musical this year. It is her first year directing a musical at Atlantic High School, and she thinks it is “making good progress” so far this year. This week, Stockhaus is adding in the pit, tech, and crew. She is excited about the performance for many reasons. Her favorite part of the show is opening night because she gets to watch “the culmination of everyone’s hard work and watch the audience respond.”

Make sure to attend the musical and support everyone’s hard work!
