Murat Theatre at Old National Centre
A wonderfully whimsical night out for the whole family awaits with the World Ballet Company's production of Cinderella. See it live at Murat Theatre on Friday, 24th April, 2026. Over 40 international dancers, drawn together from more than 10 countries, take to the stage in a spectacular production that is specially designed to be exciting to all ages.
There are no big scary sisters chasing anyone around with their toes and no doomsday fairy godmother. Instead, in a story adapted by Charles Perrault, you get lighthearted comedy and magical fairies, all choreographed by Marina Kesler. With fantastic, hand-sewn, radiant gowns and more extravagant costumes, plus a custom-built, hand-crafted set to show it all off on.
Grab your tickets now from TicketSqueeze.com for only $64. Don't wait until the clock strikes midnight, because these will turn into pumpkins if you do!
A family-friendly production designed to make classical ballet accessible to all. The show will be visiting over 130 cities across the U.S., focusing on smaller venues to introduce the art form to new audiences. Cinderella has Sergei Prokofiev's iconic score, adapted for live orchestra, with choreography by Estonian Marina Kesler.
Featuring a truly multinational cast of 40 professional dancers from over 10 countries, including Japan, Russia, Ukraine, and South Korea. With over 150 hand-sewn costumes, including radiant gowns and whimsical stepsister outfits, custom-made to enhance the fairy-tale charm, plus hand-crafted sets that include the extravagant ballroom scenes and a magical clock for when the time comes to strike midnight.
A contemporary adaptation of the classic fairy tale Cinderella, with choreography by Marina Kesler, who has shortened the original 3-act structure to 2 acts, and it is set to Sergei Prokofiev's 1944 score.
The story is based on Charles Perrault's version of Cinderella and so replaces glass slippers with pointe shoes, and the fairy godmother is portrayed as a season-representing ensemble of four fairies. Some darker elements introduced by the Brothers Grimm are considerably lighter and have more comedy and whimsy. For example, the stepsisters' "Dance with Oranges" is a particular comedic highlight of the show, and you don't have to worry about losing any toes.
Founded in 2015 by Sasha Gorskaya and Gulya Hartwick in Los Angeles, this touring ensemble is dedicated to making ballet inclusive and accessible with a creative team that emphasizes ballet for everyone. It recruits from global academies and tours original productions like The Great Gatsby Ballet alongside classics like Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and Cinderella. To date they have traveled to well over 300 cities with over a half million attendees, 70%+ of whom are ballet newcomers.
While the company does have a wardrobe workshop in L.A., they don't technically have a home stage. Instead, they travel to over 130 venues a year, with the dancers taking up a rigorous cross-training program, incorporating Pilates and yoga for the athletic demands of each production. And a behind-the-scenes logistics team that handles over 20 truckloads of sets per tour.
Opening back in 1910 as part of the Murat Shrine Temple, this historic 2,600-seat performing arts venue in Indianapolis' Mass Ave Cultural Arts District is well known for its Egyptian Revival architecture and as a host of Broadway tours, concerts, and ballets.
There is nearby street parking and G10 garage access for easy arrivals, do note that venue lots charge $20, with valet for premium ballet nights. Accessibility includes wheelchair spots, captioning for deaf patrons, and elevators.
