The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. The beloved story of a girl who overcomes her circumstances by believing in herself explores themes of self-esteem, resourcefulness and forgiveness. The dazzling score includes many delightful songs adapted for young performers in elementary and middle school: The Prince Is Giving a Ball!, In My Own Little Corner, Your Majesties, Fol-De-Rol, Impossible, It's Possible, Ten Minutes Ago, Stepsisters' Lament, When You're Driving Through the Moonlight, and A Lovely Night. The musical offers wonderful roles for six girls and four boys, and the singing/dancing chorus can include as many students as your performance space can hold. Originally produced for television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, it was presented in 1965 with Leslie Ann Warren and again in 1997 with Whitney Houston and Brandy, successfully transporting new generations to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true. As adapted in this new edition for young performers, the story still resonates with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity and the hearts of children and adults alike still soar when the slipper fits.
