[NoHo Arts District, CA] – Cindy & The Disco Ball: The Musical is set to kick off Garry Marshall Theatre’s (GMT) live, indoor season with a superfly Cinderella story. So break out the bell-bottoms and platform shoes because Garry Marshall Theatre is gettin’ down with the boogie!

It’s Cinderella. It’s 1976. It’s Fabulous!

Cindy & The Disco Ball: The Musical time-travels back to a decade that was dy-no-mite! Colorful fashion, sensational songs, and disco dance moves bring an all-new Cinderella story to life. The story unfolds at a SoCal high school in 1976. On the flip side, a glittering Soul Sister with magic up her sleeves is keeping tabs on Cindy and her “messy” relationship with her stepsister. It’s a fun and fabulous journey through teenage self-discovery, high school romance, and four friends who dream up something big for the future – you know… the 1980s.

The original musical blends the signature sound of the 70s, with bright lyrics and pop musical theater influences, and stars Christopher Baker, Jasiana Caraballo, Malynda Hale, Hayden Kharrazi, and Abigail Kate Thomas.
