Ticketmaster Talks: We chat to Todd McKenney and Tina Bursill about Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella The Musical

All the classic story elements you know and love are, of course, present in this enchanting musical production. From glass slippers, to the transforming pumpkin, a beautiful masked ball, Prince Charming, and the Fairy Godmother – but, this magical fresh tale also features some surprising twists that will keep you guessing.

Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella is more than just a pretty face. A spirited young woman, she not only fights for her own dreams, but forces Prince Charming to open his eyes to the world around him and realise his dreams too.

Originally, Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella was written for television – debuting in 1957 with Julie Andrews in the leading role, scoring an Emmy Award nomination for her stunning performance.

Since then, Cinderella was remade for television in 1965, starring Lesley Ann Warren, Ginger Rogers, Walter Pidgeon and Celeste Holm, before its latest TV incarnation featuring Brandy as Cinderella, Whitney Houston as the Fairy Godmother, and Whoopi Goldberg as the Queen wowed audiences in 1997.

The stage version of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella made its long-awaited Broadway debut in January 2013, running for two years.
