Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews\, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true\, and so was a second remake in 1997\, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. As adapted for the stage\, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity\, this romantic fairy tale still warms the hearts of children and adults alike. This Enchanted Edition is inspired by the 1997 teleplay.
