Music by Richard Rodgers Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II New Book by Douglas Carter Beane Original Book by Oscar Hammerstein II In March 2013, a new Rodgers and Hammerstein Musical opened on Broadway - new to Broadway, but based on a TV Musical first written nearly 60 years before, and beloved by audiences all over the world.
As solidly entertaining as they come.
Rodgers + Hammerstein\'s Cinderella was hailed by the Associated Press as a charming, witty and relevant take on the classic story and cheered by New York magazine as a wised-up, wit-spackled CINDERELLA...
The score was cheered as well: the familiar songs from the television versions - In My Own Little Corner Impossible A Lovely Night Do I Love You Because You\'re Beautiful and so on - along with undiscovered gems from the trunk.
Douglas Carter Beane created a new, Tony-nominated Book that was hailed for complementing the inspirational themes of Rodgers and Hammerstein with a 21st-century sensibility, giving the Musical new characters, surprising plot twists, and revelatory moments that harkened back to the Charles Perrault version of the fairy tale.
It was Rodgers + Hammerstein\'s Cinderella, which very quickly became the belle of the ball of the Broadway season, winning cheers for its fresh take on a timeless classic.
