NEW YORK (AP) – The actress playing Cinderella on tour has something much more precious than a pair of sparkly slippers waiting backstage. She’s got a bouncing baby boy.
Paige Faure, a Broadway veteran and current star of “Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella,” is the new mom to Hank, a happy 20-month old who has joined her on the road for the next several months.
“It takes a lot of balance and a lot of coffee,” Faure said last week from the tour’s kickoff in Providence, Rhode Island. “It’s definitely hard but very rewarding.”
The tour is now in Florida and plans stops in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Iowa and South Carolina.
Little Hank can count both his parents as Broadway stars. Faure’s husband is Adam Monley, who plays the Bishop of Digne and understudies Javert in Broadway’s “Les Miserables.” The couple squeeze in time with Hank whenever possible.
