Now playing at the marionette theater in Central Park is, “Cinderella Samba.”
Cinderella Samba takes place in the lush landscape of Brazil, where, with the help of her fairy godmother, Cinderella attends Rio de Janeiro’s biggest Carnaval gala and dances with Prince Paulo. The lively production features an original musical soundtrack by Daryl Kojak, commissioned by the Cottage, that brings samba center-stage. The show features a festive Carnaval float, stunning sets, and one-of-a-kind marionettes donning vibrant celebratory costumes. Catch the show Tuesdays through Fridays at 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM, and Saturdays and Sundays at 11 AM and 1PM.
The puppet show runs through July. If you have littles, the Swedish Cottage is a don’t-miss destination that can be followed with a visit to the nearby carousel and Central Park Zoo.
