Returning to Hart House Theatre after stand-out appearances in Jesus Christ Superstar and The Great American Trailer Park Musical is powerhouse performer, Saphire Demitro. Saphire plays the Witch, a role made famous by Bernadette Peters, and stands poised to give the role a fresh take. Saphire received training through the St. Clair College Musical Theatre program and has been amazing Toronto audiences ever since.
 Making her début appearance on the Hart House Theatre stage is Michelle Nash. Michelle received her training from the Theatre and Drama Studies program at Sheridan College and the University of Toronto Mississauga, and continues to study voice with Yoriko Tanno. Michelle takes on the role of the quintessential rags-to-riches bride, the shoe-challenged Cinderella.
 New to Hart House Theatre is New York and Los Angeles trained performer, Amy Swift. Amy lends her clear, resonant and operatic voice to the role of The Baker's Wife. Amy has worked with several companies from across North America and recently in Toronto with the Solar Stage and the Lower Ossington Theatre.
