Does my child need to speak Serbian?

It helps a lot. The play is in Serbian and much of the fun is in Popović's playful, made-up language, so a kid who doesn't speak it will follow the familiar story but miss most of the jokes.

Is it the Disney version?

No. It's Aleksandar Popović's own play, with his own characters (the fairy godmother is a marquise named Liza), baroque costumes and a comic, satirical tone.

Is there somewhere to run around before the show?

Yes. The theater sits on the edge of Tašmajdan Park, so there's green space and paths a few steps from the door.

About

Aleksandar (Aca) Popović's Cinderella is a classic of Serbian children's theater, and this staging plays up its comic, satirical streak. The court wears Spanish baroque costume, a score by composer Srđan Marković carries the action, and the jokes come fast in Popović's playful language. Under the laughs is a story about a girl who, with help from her fairy godmother, finds the nerve to choose what's true over what's fake.
