The Queen and King are not in complete agreement about the Princes ball which should in fact be called the Queens ball, since it is entirely her idea. The King doesnt want to have it at all, since it will be a great deal of trouble, a large expense, and why would a red blooded boy want to get married in the first place But the Queen has her heart set on it, and neither the King nor the Prince who dreads the whole idea can bear to disappoint her. The preparations continue. On the night of the ball, Cinderella helps her Stepmother and Stepsisters get ready.

By todays standards, it is almost impossible to conceive. The broadcast of Rodgers Hammersteins CINDERELLA starring Julie Andrews on CBS TV, March 3. USA, representing 6. Canada to Cuba. It was an Event, a golden moment in the Golden Age of television. In an era when Broadway still commanded attention, this was a Broadway caliber musical by Broadways most successful duo, starring Broadways brightest new talent. Broadcast night was opening night, and everyone in America was invited to attend. In retrospect, it was only a matter of time before the precocious art of television would look to Broadway plays and musicals to help feed its voracious appetite for wholesome yet sophisticated entertainment. Throughout the 1. Broadway titles, including ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, ANYTHING GOES, and two early Rodgers and Hart shows DEAREST ENEMY and A CONNECTICUT YANKEE showed up on the small screen. In 1. 95. 5, NBC broadcast the Broadway musical version of PETER PAN starring Mary Martin it was a sensationand quickly rebroadcastand the network wanted more. Richard Rodgers had given NBC a success a few years earlier with his Emmy Award winning score for the World War II documentary series, VICTORY AT SEA. Now NBC wanted to know if Rodgers and Hammerstein would do something that had never been done before write an original musical, a family musical, expressly for television. The team was intrigued the fact that this would be their first foray into television only whetted their appetite for challenge. Some people said we stayed out of TV so long because we didnt like the medium, Hammerstein told TV Guide. That isnt true. It was simply a question of finding something exciting to do and then finding a way to do it. In considering NBCs criteria, R H settled on the fairy tale of Cinderella. Not sure how to navigate some of the networks requirements, however, they sought the advice of an old friend, Richard Lewine, who was at the time serving as Vice President in charge of color television for rival CBS. In 1. 98. 0, following the death of Richard Rodgers, Lewine would run the R H office for a transitional period.

This would be a package deal R H would write the show and own it, CBS would air it and have the option of a second broadcast. Line items that would have been standard in a Broadway budgetcasting, costumes, scenery, direction, choreographywere the responsibility of R H. Those elements unique to televisioncameras, lights, sound and technical equipment, national promotion, studio facilitieswould be taken care of by CBS.

One early memorandum from Hammerstein indicates several sequences and song ideas that did not make it to the final version, including Tirade, for the Stepmother Im On My Way, for Cinderella and her Godmother en route to the Ball The Prince is in a Dither, for the mens chorus and I Have a Feeling, a love song for the two romantic leads.
