"Cinderella" has received a good review. Of Santino's performance as the Prince, the critic says: "Santino Fontana as the Prince seems to channel Steve Carell's self-conscious goofiness."

The whole productions sounds like another show I would love to see.

Looks like the Cinderella cast has fun with their video "side projects," much like the Billy cast has done with some of their backstage music videos !

Here's an appearance by the Cinderella cast on the David Letterman show from two months ago. Santino appears from about 2:27 onwards and displays an excellent singing voice, which he never got to fully show off when he was playing Tony in BETM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQVHTdB5cqo
