I have no memory of seeing the original R&H CINDERELLA, nor did I see the TV version with Brandy. But I have been listening to the original Broadway Cast CD.
Now, if I understand this CD, Cindi's Fairy Godmother is a bag lady, or as Cindi calls her a beggar woman. Does this mean that at the end of the show, the Prince kills the Fairy Godmother before he suddenly realizes that she was once his wife?
