Cannon Theater Company will present the musical “Cinderella” on Feb.23, 24 and 25 at 7 p.m. in the Cannon Performing Arts Center on the Cannon School campus, 5801 Poplar Tent Road, Concord.

Rodgers and Hammerstein’s delightful 1957 musical “Cinderella” received a lively, Tony award-winning update in 2013 that maintained the enchantment of the traditional story while popping the characters into three dimensions and giving them snappy, laugh-out-loud dialogue. This tale of finding your identity through helping others is one for the whole family. This show is open to the public. Reserve your tickets now at www.cannonschool.org/theater.
