Hello friends! It has come to our attention that a third-party is attempting to sell tickets for YAE's performances of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. Please note: these are NOT real tickets and it is a scam! This particular instance is happening through Vivid Seats. We do have a cease and desist request out to them, but please, NEVER buy tickets for any of our events anywhere else but through our website (or at least tickets linked through our website).

Thank you all and be careful out there!
