May 23: Once Upon a Time - A Cinderella Story

Cinderella is one of the most-told tales in song. There's the wonderful Rodgers & Hammerstein television classic, the stage version of the R&H special developed for London, the Disney film, and Into the Woods. In honor of the Spokane Children's Theatre's production (check out Michael Breckenridge's review and photos), we visit the story of Cinderella and other songs of make-believe.
