This weekend, the Kansas City Ballet presents a classic fairy tale, Cinderella. It's the story of a girl who's magically transformed for one night, and attends a ball where she meets her prince.

In choreographer Victoria Morgan's version, Cinderella's wicked stepsisters are played by two men, with a great deal of humor.

Watch this time-lapse video of the Kansas City Ballet's Ryan Jolicouer-Nye and Logan Pachiarz as they get into character:

Kansas City Ballet Presents 'Cinderella,' May 9 - 18, at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, 1601 Broadway, Kansas City, Mo. 816-931-2232.
