Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella

When Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella first premiered on CBS as a made-for-television musical starring Julie Andrews in 1957, it was seen by an audience of over 100 million people. With so many incarnations in the following decades — from Harold Fielding’s staged version at the London Coliseum to the TV remakes starring Lesley Ann Warren in 1965 and Whitney Houston in 1997 — it’s hard to believe Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella didn’t make its Broadway debut until 2013. Featuring a new book by Douglas Carter Beane, this touring production offers a fresh take on the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic alongside its beloved score and popular songs including “Impossible/It’s Possible” and “In My Own Little Corner.” The classic musical lands at the Majestic Theatre for a limited engagement of five performances beginning Friday courtesy of Broadway in San Antonio.
