Posted on October 28, 1997

An all-new remake of Rodgers & Hammerstein's classic TV musical Cinderella, starring Brandy and Whitney Houston, airs on "The Wonderful World of Disney" on ABC-TV on Sunday November 2. To celebrate, The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization has prepared a special tribute on its new website, featuring RealVideo sequences from both the latest Cinderella and the original 1957 broadcast, which starred Julie Andrews.

For the first time in 40 years, fans can view Julie Andrews and her co-stars, including Fairy Godmother Edith Adams, Prince Jon Cypher and Step-sisters Kaye Ballard and Alice Ghostley, in excerpts from such songs as "In My Own Little Corner," "Impossible," "Ten Minutes Ago," and "Step-sisters Lament." The RealVideo sequences segue directly into corresponding scenes from the all-new version starring Brandy as Cinderella, Whitney Houston as The Fairy Godmother, Paolo Montalban as The Prince, and Veanne Cox and Natalie Desselle as The Step-sisters.
