Julie Andrews stars in and hosts the first-ever repeat broadcast
of
Cinderella. Also starring in the 1957 production are Edie
Adams, Kaye Ballard and Alice Ghostley, with Jon Cypher as the
Prince.
Among the classics of musical theater, one of the most cherished
productions is one that was originally created for television.
Cinderella stars Julie Andrews and features a cast that includes
Kaye Ballard, Alice Ghostley and Edie Adams. An enchanting musical
adaptation of the classic fairy tale, it was watched by and
astounding 100 million viewers during its 1957 network premiere;
the film has not been seen or, in fact, available in any format
since that initial telecast. Now, GREAT PERFORMANCES presents the
restored original film for the first time in nearly half a century.
Cinderella herself, Julie Andrews, hosts the program, recalling
fond memories and backstage stories from the landmark show that
includes classic Rodgers and Hammerstein songs like "In My Own
Little Corner," "Ten Minutes Ago" and "Do I Love You Because You're
Beautiful?"
