The company is recognized as one of the most prestigious institutions of classical ballet in Ukraine. Cinderella is set to the music of Sergei Prokofiev with Vladimir Vasilyev's choreography.
This full-scale production follows the beautiful maiden Cinderella's story as she seeks her handsome Prince Charming and, with the help of a little magic, discovers that dreams really can come true. It is a classic fairy tale treat that the everyone in your family will enjoy!
Tickets are priced to the public at $38 - $68, but, as KRCA supporters, you will receive a 25% discount on your tickets. If you buy online, follow these instructions to get your discount: In the upper right-hand corner, just next to the box where you enter the number of tickets that you want, there is a box that says "Unlock" (see screen photo below)... hit the Unlock box and enter the code RUSSIAN. This code will get you your discount. Then proceed to checkout. If you go in person to the State Theatre box office, you just need to say that you are with the Russian Club and use the code "RUSSIAN" to get 25% off of your purchase. Note that the State Theatre box office is just south of the marquee entrance and has very limited hours... just Friday and Saturday from 10 am - 6pm, or on days when there is a performance. Also note that there is a surcharge (around $10) to order online, so it may be worthwhile for you to go to the box office in person.
The KRCA will also have a table, in the lobby of The State Theatre, at this performance. Please stop by our table and say hello. We would love to see you!
If we show ticket support for this performance, it will encourage the promoters and the State Theatre to offer additional Ukrainian and Eastern European performances. So please consider buying tickets and attending Cinderella!
The State Theatre, located at 404 South Burdick Street, has been an impressive fixture in downtown Kalamazoo since 1927 and the KRCA is honored to support and help promote this world-class performance.
Hope to see you at The State Theatre for this wonderful performance!
