Cinderella - Original Broadway Cast

A wonderful score...a wonderful cast! I purchased this for my 4 year old grandaughter after she had seen the stage play and wanted to learn all of the songs. We love to sing them...the step-sisters' lament which is very funny, "Impossible" and (her version) "A Luddly Night". A great introduction to musical theater for little people.
Gorgeous Music! Simply beautiful. While the 66 production is pleasant as well, and Leslie Ann Warren is not Julie Andrews (who is?), she is lovely in her own right and it does preserves R&H's wonderful music. The Whitney Houston production, while a misfire, at least is a valiant attempt to keep R&H alive, and brought to a whole new generation, on that score , Bravo! But the original is sublime, even if the recently re-released TV production is difficult to watch due to the technological values of the day, the B&W picture is grainy and distorted, no matter, it's all about the glorious music.
