At last! I can die happy!
I have loved this movie since I was 12 years old! It is a great musical and I have never been able to understand why it has not received more attention. It is a wonderful retelling of the Cinderella story with well-drawn and interesting characters. It even has an unexpected little twist in the plot (no, I won't say what it is - buy it and see for yourself!) that gives some weight to the emotions of the main characters. It would be so easy to treat this lightly because of how familiar everyone is with the fairy tale. This movie has a little more depth. The music is really great and the dancing more than keeps up with it. Do yourself a favor and see this musical!
