Cinderella is experiencing quite the resurgence lately…

Disney’s live-action movie (starring Lily James, Cate Blanchett and Helena Bonham-Carter) hits theaters this Friday, Mar. 13. Then the Ahmanson Theatre debuts a version of the Rodger and Hammerstein musical next Tuesday, Mar. 17. If you plan on seeing either the movie or the show in the coming weeks, keep in mind that Metro turns gridlock into a stress-free trip with the touch of a TAP card. No fairy godmother required.

Go Metro to Cinderella at the Ahmanson and save 10 percent on select seats between Mar. 17 and Apr. 12. Located at 135 N. Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles, the Ahmanson is a short walk from the Metro Red and Purple Line Civic Center/Grand Park Station. There’s also a plethora of Metro Rapid and local buses serving the Grand Park area (here’s the Metro bus and rail map for DTLA) . Metro customers with valid TAP cards can purchase their discounted seats by visiting CenterTheatreGroup.org/Metro. (For more on destinations where you can TAP and save, visit metro.net/discounts.)

For those looking forward to the movie, it will be playing at these theaters that are near transit stations:
