Free Music Notes for Cinderella (1957 Television Cast)

Free Music Review: The best Cinderella; too bad the show's not available
Hit: 5 Stars

This should be the Cinderella by which all Cinderella's before and since are judged, but it's a shame that it's not (and you can thank Disney for that). However, I will make some comparisons. The 1965 remake of this Cinderella starring Lesley Ann Warren is also very good, nearly as good as this, but the atrocious Brandy remake from 1997 does not even come remotely close (where did all the extra Rodgers and Hart songs come from?).

This original Cinderella should be made available to the public, for it would be a great success if it were. After all, the technology needed to restore the black and white videotape (which is what was used to broadcast the show on the west coast in 1957 on the same day it was broadcast live and in color in the east) is there and if you can get past the show being in black and white, you should be able to enjoy it. There's no reason why the show should not be restored and releasd. The 1957 TV broadcast of "Annie Get Your Gun" starring Mary Martin also nearly vanished forever until a kinescope was found and released on videocassette about 10 years ago. Of course the recording of that production still lives on in perpetuality.

Until we can see this production released on DVD or something, we'll have to live with its wonderful cast recording.
