Dominion Post / Stuff - Review
“A joyous occasion, the production is a fairy-tale for our challenging times, and as the spontaneous applause and cheers erupting from the very first scenes indicated, there is still magic aplenty to be found in the theatre.”

Wellingtonista - Review
“RNZB’s Cinderella is a carnival of excess, packed full of joy and beauty and delight. It shines with queerness, and as a queer dancer myself, this ballet was a revolutionary take on a well-hewn story and hit me right in the chest.
“Besties, I am positively shooketh. Take your friends, take your lovers. This is one you’ve gotta see.”

Dance Australia - Review
“For Royal New Zealand Ballet, Australian-born Loughlan Prior has choreographed a version of Cinderella that is quite startlingly different from anything we might have seen before. To a certain extent it does follow the familiar story of Cinderella, her Step-sisters and Step-mother, the attendance at a royal ball and Cinderella’s eventual marriage. But Prior has looked beyond and beneath the well-worn narrative and has created a ballet that investigates the notion of having the courage to follow one’s dreams and desires in whatever form they may take.”
