The Story of Cinderella
Music & lyrics by Richard M sherman & Robert B Sherman
Book by Bryan Forbes and Robert B Sherman & Richard M Sherman
Stage adaptation by Phillip Burley
The Slipper and the rose is a charming musical version of Cinderella. Based on the film of the same name released in 1976, the spirit of the film and the original version of the story published by Charles Perrault in 1679 are faithfully preserved. With its romantic score by Richard and Robert Sherman and new orchestrations tailor made for amateur companies, and its sympathetic adaptation for the stage by Phillip Burley, it is an exciting addition to the national repertoire.
The Slipper and the Rose is a real story about two people in love. Enhanced by wonderful tunes, it is a story very much aimed at the family audience retaining at the same time the enchantment and wonder that the Cinderella story has always held.
