Cinderella meets Tinder in this modern musical. Our princess, Meg, longs for true love, but she can barely get a “like.” Her fairy-god-roommate reveals the magic of Tinder, and suddenly prince charming is only a swipe away.
From book writer Rose Oser: "Tinder unlocks endless possibilities which is why it fits so perfectly within the world of musical theater, a world where everyone always wants more and more. Wes and Christian have created clever, catchy pop-rock music that is like Ben Folds meets Rachel Bloom meets that one guy you slept with that one time-- Josh? Jason? Who cares.”
Tinderella features catchy songs like “Like Me”, “Picture Perfect”, “Slow Grind Love Song” and “D*ck Pic” and includes a cast of 12 actors including Custom Made company member (and TBA nominee for Grey Gardens) Juliana Lustenader as Meg, the girl who just can’t seem to have it all, and Branden Noel Thomas (Berkeley Playhouse, San Jose Stage) as Dylan, her fairy-god-roommate.
