Review of Cinderella

Surprisingly good. The Cinderella story as told by those renowned musical makers Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Even within the confines of a television studio and the challenges of a live performance it comes over well, helped by really good cast led by the melodious Julia Andrews as the titular character. With romantic and tuneful music from Mr. Rodgers, witty dialogue and lyrics from Mr. Hammerstein and an ideal troupe of actors this is a charming entertainment. It was originally broadcast on CBS in colour but that version hasn't survived which is a shame as colour would add the only thing this captivating production lacks.
