Once it was loved...and it still is!
My friend first lent me this video a while ago...and I had a hard time giving it back! This little known, yet very charming musical based on the story of Cinderella is one of the best musicals I've seen. I couldn't see Richard Chamberlain playing the prince, but he does an excellent job and his singing is great! Gemma Craven is perfect in the role of Cinderella and her singing voice is superb. I especially love "I can't forget the Melody". The fairygodmother is the best I've seen and the Dowager Queen adds her own brand of comdedy to the script. This is a great family musical with beautiful sets and costumes. The dancing is excellent and the story is extremly witty and quite funny. This is a not to be missed musical!
