In this episode of Story Matters, Bryce Charles (Ella Ashmore) joins me to talk about the creative whirlwind of bringing Starkid's Cinderella's Castle to life.
From developing Ella's emotional journey to exploring the dynamic between Ella and Tadius, Bryce shares what it was like to take on the lead role in a brand-new Starkid musical, all while building the show from scratch in record time.
We dive into:
• How the tone of the show was discovered
• The pressure and joy of creating something this fast
• Behind-the-scenes stories from the rehearsal room
• The process of shaping a fairytale heroine with modern heart
👑 Cinderella's Castle was written by Nick and Matt Lang, directed by Nick Lang, with music and lyrics by Jeff Blim.
