The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality charm and elegance. Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Its re-creation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true and so was a second remake in 1997 which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother.

 

In 1956 Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II were indisputably the world's most successful writers of musicals. Julie Andrews was a sparkling new star having just triumphed in My Fair Lady. When her agent approached Rodgers and Hammerstein and suggested that the television audience would welcome a musical version of "Cinderella " it was an irresistible temptation for all.

 

Everything about the project was right from the start. The CBS production team was quickly assembled. Richard Lewine a distant cousin of Rodgers and a close friend was the producer Ralph Nelson the director. Howard Lindsay and his wife Dorothy Stickney were signed for the King and Queen; Jon Cypher played the Prince; the Stepmother and Stepsisters were made less frightening and more comic by Ilka Chase Kaye Ballard and Alice Ghostley; rather than the standard old crone the beautiful Edie Adams played the Godmother.

 

Rodgers and Hammerstein approached the story with the honesty and simplicity that characterized all their work. They purposely did not seek to improve a story they felt was dramatically sound as many writers are prone to do instead concentrating on bringing the characters to life. Rodgers wrote in his autobiography Musical Stages "In writing the story and the songs Oscar and I felt that it was important to keep everything as traditional as possible without any 'modernizing' or reaching for psychological significance." When Hammerstein was asked where he found the version of Cinderella story he based his adaptation upon he answered "I looked it up in the encyclopedia."

 

The marriage of music lyrics and story in Cinderella exemplified their artistic philosophy; all elements held together integrally to illuminate the characters. As Rodgers explained "Although a few of its songs have become popular our score for Cinderella is another example of what theatre music is really about. No matter what the medium a score is more than a collection of individual songs. It is or should be a cohesive entity whose word and music are believable expressions of the characters singing them...Like a symphony concerto or opera some portions have greater appeal than others but it is the work as a whole that makes the overall impression."

 

Cinderella succeeded. When it was broadcast on March 31 1957 it was viewed by more people than any other program in the history of television.

This book is easy to read and i tend to recall information better after reading it. It breaks down topics and focused on the important information or a must to know for NCLEX. I will recommend this book to anyone taking NCLEX.

Great book!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I am still in nursing school- but I like to try read and gain knowledge ahead of time. I do this so that with upcoming semesters, the concepts are not completely foreign to me and I’m not blindsided by new topics. I have been following a lot of the YouTube videos with Mark and Dr. Sharon and have found them very educational even while in nursing school. I purchased this book and I really am happy with it. I was hoping it would have offer more info in it , maybe some more facts here and there but it’s basically an answer bank. It does have some small facts but they are not in depth at all- just mainly recall information. It really is based off just past memory from your education. For me personally, I find this book pretty useful to have if you feel confident in all topics- and plan to go for your NCLEX..however, if you’re still a bit rusty on some topics, you won’t really be able to rely solely on this book to brush up on information- not in a manner of depth (which I guess is the point). I think applying his lectures, listening to their YouTube videos and applying this book would make the ultimate go-to. The book alone is wonderful- but it’s simply just answer banks to help recall the info. Which is great if you’re looking for strictly recall. I was fortunate enough to find his lectures on Reddit along with some of the “yellow pages” from other students. I can apply that with this book and be confident in upcoming tests , as his lectures are incredible.

A wonderful edition!
Format: Paperback
I highly recommend this edition above all others available. The translation is very clear and lucid and actually makes Timaeus and Critias real page-turners. Not only is the translation great, but the introductory material is incredible. While one review here mentions that the translation misses some of the nuance of Platonic thought (which I don't necessarily agree with that), the introduction more than makes up for that. So many available editions of Timaeus are written by reluctant scholars who act puzzled as to why they've been asked to introduce Timaeus when they are obviously either not fond of it, or dismissive of it as an authentic piece of Plato's canon. At last, we have an edition that is faithful and generous to the source material!
