Sometimes, even as an adult, I find some shows can be too long, or drag on. Trust me, it is possible. Rather than using Hammerstein's suitable-for-live-television script, a new one was written by Joseph Schrank; Hammerstein had died in 1960. Yet here it is.

It was ultimately unused in South Pacific except as underscoring, and it isn't especially compelling or suitable for Cinderella's Prince.
If you have never seen this movie it's a must watch at least once to see what was a good Version of Cinderella! Learn how your comment data is processed. The main songs — "In My Own Little Corner," "Impossible," "Ten Minutes Ago," "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful" — are perhaps not ageless standards, but they work perfectly well and are overloaded with charm. They are two of the more iconic protagonists in the Disney canon. At the ball, Lionel dutifully delivers eligible maidens to Prince Christopher on the dance floor, and Cinderella's stepmother fiendishly schemes behind the scenes on behalf of her daughters.
Good job Amazon!! Her Fairy Godmother advises her to share her feelings with Prince Christopher.
Memorable show from my childhood. Unlike Gigi, Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella has had a strong presence since that first live telecast on March 31, 1957, which was the fourteenth anniversary of the opening of Oklahoma!, as it happens.
Cast members from the Tony- and Pulitzer-winning musical—including Lin-Manuel Miranda himself—offered a voter mobilization twist to the show’s lyrics on National Voter Registration Day.

As one of the first shows that we brought along our five-year-old to, I was a bit nervous – and loved the idea of introducing her to her first full show (where we didn’t leave after the first intermission) with a story that she was familiar with, with something she knew what to expect.

A treat. I saw this as a little girl and just adored it.
Not quite Cinderella-flavored, but no matter. In fact, in those days the first act alone of most musicals averaged 75-90 minutes. The storyline and wow-factor of Cinderella had the kids captivated throughout the show, impressive. Cinderella is nearly crushed by the royal carriage, searching for missing royalty, but she is saved by Prince Christopher's heroic intervention and is immediately charmed by his sincere, direct nature, just as he is drawn to her naive honesty and purity.
