The Twin Cities are starting to look like fairytale heaven.
Producers of the first-ever Broadway production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella" cast Eagan High School graduate Laura Osnes and Santino Fontana, a graduate of the University of Minnesota/Guthrie Theater BFA program, as the royal couple.
They will play Cinderella and the Prince, according to reports in Playbill and the New York Times in a production that is to open sometime in the 2012-2013 season.
Osnes has headlined "Bonnie & Clyde" and "South Pacific" on Broadway. Fontana's Broadway credits include "Billy Elliot" and "The Importance of Being Earnest."
The musical, a re-imagining of the 1957 TV version, is to be staged by veteran director Mark Brokaw with a new book by Douglas Carter Beane.
