SENECA, Pa. – The Cranberry High School Drama Club is presenting “Cinderella – The Enchanted Edition” from March 14 to March 17 as its spring musical.
This version of Cinderella was originally created, by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, as a live television broadcast in 1957. To date, it is the only Rodgers and Hammerstein musical that was written exclusively for television. The show was subsequently remade for television in 1965 and 1997.
The Enchanted Edition is adapted from the latter television production which featured pop-singers, Brandy and Whitney Houston. It was originally broadcast on ABC’s The Wonderful World of Disney on November 2, 1997.
The musical contains most of the lyrical songs from the original 1957 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical but has utilized modern language and updated references in the script. Classic songs for the original, such as In My Own Little Corner, Ten Minutes Ago, and Stepsister’s Lament will still be heard in all their Rodgers and Hammerstein glory.
