Music reviews of Cinderella (1957 Television Cast)
Music Review: The best Cinderella; too bad the show's not available
Rating: 5 Stars
This is the original recording of one of Rodgers and Hammerstein's best but most overlooked scores. This was also one of their last scores, as only "Flower Drum Song" and "The Sound of Music" came later. They and CBS were very wise to cast Julie Andrews (who they wrote the show for) who was at that time in peak voice. This was her third major production; she had previously starred in "The Boy Friend" (1954) and "My Fair Lady" (1956), and took a break from My Fair Lady to star in Cinderella. The rest of the cast is wonderful. 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.
Description of Cinderella (1957 Television Cast)
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.CBS's 1957 television production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella has the polished yet untampered sound of a live Broadway musical recording, despite the fact that the album was recorded in advance of the television broadcast. Julie Andrews stars as Cinderella, and her clean yet vulnerable voice perfectly suits her role as the picked-on dreamer in rags. The tracks play like a Julie Andrews showcase: her voice dominates the selections for both its distinctive qualities and the fact that she is featured in more songs than any other performer. The CD features four additional bonus tracks, including a piano version of "In My Own Little Corner," sung by Andrews. --Bryony Angell
