Description
Release Date: 19 September 2011
Based on the fairy story, Cinderella the musical was originally written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein for television, airing in the US in 1957 and attracting an audience of over 100 million! At the time it was seen as a vehicle for Julie Andrews, and although the original cast and orchestra gathered to record an album for Columbia Records, there were no plans to turn the story into a regular musical.
A year later, however, Tommy Steele headed a British cast that also included Jimmy Edwards and Betty Marsdenand, adding other Rodgers & Hammerstein songs along with an original written by Tommy Steele, and opened at the London Coliseum during the Christmas holiday season of 1958. The success of this version has ensured Cinderella remains part of the British way of life around Christmas time ever since….
