After the successful staging of The Sound of Music and the ongoing The King and I, Resorts World Manila now revealed their next production.  Well the next Rogers and Hammerstein Musical to say the least since there is still no schedule for the show (possible that there will be other shows before this).  But they are proud to announce that they are now open for auditions for the musical Cinderella.

Before, my favorite musical of Rogers and Hammerstein is definitely The Sound of Music but when I saw Cinderella, I became an instant convert.  I'm kind of a late bloomer since I first saw it in TV (1997) with Brandy as Cinderella, Paolo Montalban as Prince Chritopher and the late Whitney Houston as the Fairy Godmother.

 Then fast forward to 2008 here comes the Manila production through Broadway Asia starring Lea Salonga as Cinderella and Directed by Bobby Garcia (Atlantis Production).  fallen in love with its grace and beauty, I decided to look for a copy of the 1957 TV production starring none other than Julie Andrews.

I thought that will be the last time I'll see that stunning show.  But thanks to Resorts World, I will experience it again.  They are now calling for talented actors and performers for Cinderella.  Details about the audition is on this link.


I admit that seeing 3 versions of this gave me the right to have a high standard for the leads to the rest of the cast.  This production is a very energetic and lively one and I don't know if I can forgive RW if they will not at least give the same quality as the one presented 5 years ago.  Sending all of my luck to them and hope they pick the right people for this show and I will be happy to experience it once again.
