Let's (Re)Watch: Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella (1997)
Welcome to Let’s Rewatch it Again! I’m Jourdan and…
“I doubt he has any idea how a girl should be treated.
Like a princess I suppose.
No, like a person with kindness and respect.”
This week we are Rewatching Rodgers and Hammerstiens Cinderella the 1997 direct to TV movie directed by Robert Iscove. This version of Cinderella stars the first African American woman to portray Cinderella, Brandy Norwood. Our Fairy Godmother is played by the one and only Whitney Houston and our stepmother is Bernadette Peters.
And there’s more!
Whitney Houston co-produced this film and originally was mean to play Cinderella but she ultimately decided she had outgrown the role and then she offered it to Brandy. This is my top favorite version of the Cinderella story, followed closely by Ever After and then the Disney animated film.
This film is adapted from a broadway musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein and it’s the second film adaptation and for some depressing reason you cannot purchase and stream the soundtrack anywhere!
