comment |
Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical adaptation of the fairytale. It was originally written and performed live on CBS television in 1957, with Julie Andrews starring in the title role. A 1965 remake, starring Lesley Ann Warren and with a revised script (plus a Cut Song from South Pacific) was rerun well into The '90s. Walt Disney Presents released a film version starring Brandy in 1997.The 1957 version was given a Screen-to-Stage Adaptation that served as a U.S. community theater staple for years, and occasionally had professional stagings (but never on Broadway). In the wake of the '97 remake, this version was revised for further professional stagings; the licenser now offers both the original version and a '97-based version (known as the "Enchanted Edition") to amateur groups.This show made its Broadway debut from 2013-2015, with a new book by Douglas Carter Beane and Cut Songs from other Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals added to the score. This version adds another villain in the form of Prince Christopher's evil regent Sebastian, who oppresses the poor of the kingdom — and whom Cinderella's stepmother is collaborating with.Not to be confused with the other musical Cinderella, a Fractured Fairy Tale spin on the fairytale written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, which made its West End debut in 2021.Tropes: |

Old Beggar Test: The Fairy Godmother first appears disguised as a strange old woman in rags called "Crazy Marie." When she unveils her true self, she explains that she's everyone's Fairy Godmother, not just Cinderella's, but only Cinderella has ever been kind to her. |

Darker and Edgier: The stepmother and stepsisters are portrayed as genuinely abusive towards Cinderella, instead of being pure comic relief like in the 50's and 90's version, although they still have funny moments here and there. At one point, Cinderella even says that her stepmother will beat her if she disobeys her. |

Spectacular Spinning: Lesley Ann Warren and Brandy spin during their respective dress transformation scenes. Julie Andrews did not spin in the live 1957 version because she acquired her ballgown in between scene changes. In the 2013 Broadway performance, Laura Osnes spins as her dress "magically" appears. |

Disappeared Dad: It's made pretty clear that Cinderella's father is dead. But we never learn where her mother went. (She's probably dead too.) And the Prince's parents are both dead in the 2013 version, opening up an opportunity for villains to seize power. Even the stepsisters are without their father, one way or another. |

When the Clock Strikes Twelve: Obviously. As with The Girl Who Fits This Slipper, this is the Trope Namer. In the 1997 version, Cinderella expresses disappointment at having such a tight curfew. The Fairy Godmother then tells her that she doesn't make the rules about how long her magic can last. |

Fourth-Date Marriage: In the TV versions, Cinderella and Prince Christopher share 2-3 onscreen interactions before they get married. Enforced in the 1997 remake, in which the Fairy Godmother conjures up the couple's wedding outfits and ceremony right after Cinderella puts on the glass slipper. |

Character Development |
| | Cinderella (Rodgers and Hammerstein) (Theatre) / int_3b113b7 |
comment |
Character Development: Particularly in the 1957 and 1997 versions, Cinderella grows from being "as mild and as meek as a mouse" under her stepmother's thumb, to realizing with her Fairy Godmother's help that she needs to do more than wish and dream to Earn Her Happy Ending and taking her future into her own hands. (In the 1957 version going back to the palace by herself in her rags and ultimately trying on the slipper there, in the 1997 version packing a bag to run away and being found in the yard by the prince just as she's leaving.) The 2000 "Enchanted Edition" stage script also highlights this, as she makes a plan to get herself to the ball without magic – for which the Fairy Godmother rewards her by providing magic after all – and in the end deliberately steps forward against her Stepmother's orders to ask to try on the slipper. |

Took a Level in Kindness: On a meta-level, this happens with Gabrielle, who's not wicked in any sense of the word—rather, she's too shy to stand up to her mother and older sister's bullying. After "A Lovely Night," she becomes Cinderella's Secret-Keeper regarding the ball, and the two happily call each other "sisters" for the first time. |

Wham Line |
| | Cinderella (Rodgers and Hammerstein) (Theatre) / int_4e7c4536 |

This extends into the song "Impossible" too. In the original '57 version, the Godmother hasn't revealed yet that she's a fairy, and sings the song in response to Cinderella wishing that a pumpkin could turn into a coach, mice into horses, etc., as if she were genuinely telling her that her dream is impossible... until the last line "...impossible things are happening every day." In this version, she's the one who offers Cinderella a pumpkin as a coach, mice to become horses, etc., and sings "Impossible" to put Cinderella's doubts at ease. (The '97 version takes a third option and has the Godmother first tell Cinderella that just wishing isn't enough, but then sing the song to assure her that this doesn't mean her wishes can't come true.) |

Wham Shot: At midnight at the ball, Ella almost loses a glass slipper, but she picks it up before Topher can get it, making this the first time Cinderella doesn't ACCIDENTALLY lose one of her glass slippers. Instead, after the banquet Topher later hosts in order to see her again, she leaves a slipper behind deliberately as a Calling Card. |

Adaptational Attractiveness: Gabrielle, the older stepsister, is actually very pretty once she gets rid of her ridiculous puffy dress and Bavarian-pretzel hairstyle, and has a suitor in Jean-Michel. Gabrielle is also considered attractive enough for Sebastian and Madame to believe she has a real shot with Prince Topher and hooking the two of them up is the main impetus for their scheme. Unfortunately, they have No Sparks. |

Trickster Mentor: The Fairy Godmother masquerades at first as a skeptical, no-nonsense human godmother who good-naturedly scoffs at Cinderella's dreams, until Cinderella makes it clear that she won't give up her impossible hopes, at which point she reveals her true magical nature. Later, she encourages a palace guard to arrest Cinderella, claiming she must be plotting to "capture the Prince," and then urges him to try the glass slipper on Cinderella "as a joke." |

Triumphant Reprise |
| | Cinderella (Rodgers and Hammerstein) (Theatre) / int_5da37ab5 |
comment |
Triumphant Reprise: "Impossible" has a pessimistic and cynical first half, but also a part meant to create a glimmer of hope for Cinderella's dreams. After the Fairy Godmother grants Cinderella's wish to go to the ball, the two of them sing "It's Possible," which boasts more optimistic lyrics. It sounds especially triumphant in the 1997 version. |

comment |
At the 1957 ball, "Gavotte" continued over Cinderella and Prince Christopher's Dance of Romance, with "Waltz For a Ball" accompanying multiple couples' dances after "Stepsisters' Lament". In 1965, Cinderella and Christopher danced alone to "Waltz For a Ball" before singing "Ten Minutes Ago". The 1997 version had "Waltz For a Ball" play first for Cinderella and Christopher dancing alone, and again for all the couples who waltz after "Ten Minutes Ago". |

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: The Prince dances with several women in brightly colored gowns, but he and Cinderella are the only two at the ball wearing white. When they dance together, it helps them to stand out in the crowd of jewel-tone dresses and men's tights. The ugly stepsisters and stepmother wear very flashy gowns of metallic brocade to the ball, whereas the other attendants wear solid, jewel-tone outfits. |

comment |
"I Am" Song / "I Want" Song: "In My Own Little Corner" and its reprise, respectively. This is partly a deconstruction of an "I Want" Song, since it is about how Cinderella is trying to be content in her life already by using her imagination. But at the same time, her fantasies of different lives show her yearning for something better, especially in the reprise when she imagines herself at the ball. |

Ambiguous Time Period: While the remakes are clearly set in fairy tale kingdoms, the original could very easily be set in the '50's, or possibly in the Edwardian era, a la My Fair Lady. The godmother telling Cinderella she would be better off as a hired servant makes it very likely that the piece is not set in pre-modern Europe. And get a load of that chic, form-fitting, Audrey-Hepburn-worthy number Cinderella wears at the ball. |

But then the messenger comes back down and says that there's no one there: as it turns out, Cinderella has run away from home. When the messenger goes back to the palace, it's there that he finds her secretly watching the Prince from the garden. |

Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Cinderella is a classic ingenue, but during "In My Own Little Corner," in addition to such girly fantasies as being a Princess Classic, an opera singer or a mermaid, she also enjoys imagining herself as a huntress on an African safari. In the 1997 version, she even uses her broom as a pretend gun and canoe paddle. |

comment |
Bad Bedroom, Bad Life: Cinderella is implied to sleep in the chair she sings about in the song "In My Own Little Corner". Being that she considers it her one little spot in the house that's truly hers, despite it just being a chair in the corner of the house, it shows just how mistreated she is. In the 1965 version, she doesn't sleep in the chair, but sleeps in the cold attic, which explains why she's always sitting by the fire to warm herself. |

Shout-Out: There are many references to the 1955 film The Glass Slipper, notably Crazy Marie is an Expy of Mrs. Tocquet. The plot is also very similar to the film version of Ella Enchanted, with the Prince being an orphan Puppet King who is unaware that his Evil Chancellor is stealing lands and rights from the people until Ella opens his eyes to the situation. |

Charm Point: "Stepsisters' Lament" is a song about Cinderella's two stepsisters bemoaning the prince's attraction to Cinderella and wondering just what it is he sees in her. They describe her possible charm points (her daintiness, pale skin, long neck, pink cheeks, and gentleness) in unflattering ways before exasperatedly chanting "What's the matter with the man?" |

Actually Quite Catchy: The stepfamily, of course, hates Cinderella. However, after the ball, she starts singing "Lovely Night", describing her romantic night with the prince. In all versions except 1965, the stepsisters get swept up in the song and even sing with her, only snapping back to normal when their mother yells at them for taking part. |

Adaptation Name Change: The stepsisters' names changed in each script. In 1957, they were Joy and Portia. In 1965, they changed to Prunella and Esmeralda. In 1997, they became Calliope and Minerva. In the "Enchanted Edition" stage script from 2000, their names are Joy and Grace, and in the 2013 Broadway production they are named Charlotte and Gabrielle. |

Dating What Daddy Hates: Madame (the stepmother) does not approve of Jean-Michel, because he's poorer than they are and a social activist, and she has social-climbing aspirations.

Karmic Jackpot: In this version, Cinderella's kindness is emphasized when she gives a stranger some water; the stranger turns out to be the prince. Presumably, her mysterious familiarity is what attracts the prince at the ball. Later, when he goes to Cinderella's cottage, she offers him water a second time, leading him to finally realize who she is. |

Miss Imagination: Cinderella's habitual coping strategy, as explored in "In My Own Little Corner." This trait also turns the '57 and '13 versions into some of the few Cinderella stories in which Cinderella helps the Fairy Godmother figure out how to send her to the ball, when Cinderella shares a fantasy of a pumpkin and some mice changing into a horse-drawn carriage, which whisks her to the castle. |

Adaptational Context Change |
| | Cinderella (Rodgers and Hammerstein) (Theatre) / int_f33ff01c |
comment |
Adaptational Context Change: A slight one for "Stepsisters' Lament," which here becomes "Stepsister's Lament" (note the changed apostrophe): in previous versions, it's a duet for the two stepsisters, but here, since Gabrielle is an Adaptational Nice Girl, has her own love interest and doesn't want to marry the Prince, the song is sung by a chorus of jealous maidens led by the other stepsister, Charlotte. |

Easily Forgiven |

comment |
Easily Forgiven: Ella prettily readily forgives Madame and Charlotte, however, this makes sense since being kind is the moral of the story. |

Earn Your Happy Ending |
| | Cinderella (Rodgers and Hammerstein) (Theatre) / int_f64a9cf7 |
comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: It's revealed that the Fairy Godmother doesn't give out her magic freely. Ella earned it by being kind and friendly to "Crazy Marie" aka the Godmother in disguise. Similarly, she doesn't just go to the ball and the banquet to win over the Prince but as an opportunity to inform Topher about the injustices in the kingdom. |

Gold Digger: This was Madame, and she believes her daughters should follow her example. |

Distant Duet: As the Prince sings his reprise of "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?" the morning after the ball, Cinderella's disembodied voice joins him. |

Pet the Dog: The whole step-family gets one when they perform "A Lovely Night" with Ella. Only Gabrielle stays nice afterwards though. |

comment |
Shown Their Work: Practically the only adaption of Perrault's Cinderella to get right that the Fairy Godmother is Cinderella's literal godmother, whom Cinderella has known since childhood (though not knowing that she's a fairy until the night of the ball). |
