* MeaningfulEcho: Cinderella first meets the Prince when he, as a "charming stranger", helps her pick up her bags after a royal coachman runs over them.

They say the same lines every time, and as they recite them the second time, both of them are realizing exactly who the other is.

* AbusiveParent: The stepmother is physically abusive towards Cinderella, though everything is done off screen, and is also verbally abusive towards our heroine.
* BookEnds: The musical begins with a gate opening and ends with it closing.
* {{Disneyfication}}: The film was intended to be more of a straightforward fairy tale than the original, which was more of an AffectionateParody.
** Cinderella even rides a carriage that looks like the one [[{{Disney/Cinderella}} Disney's Cinderella]] rode.
* IWantSong: Prince Christopher's "Loneliness of Evening", originally a CutSong from ''SouthPacific''.
* KarmicJackpot: In this version, Cinderella's kindness is emphasized when she gives a stranger some water; the stranger turns out to be the prince. This bit may have been taken from the stage versions, where she initially meets the prince disguised as a chimney-sweep.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The fairy godmother has one.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Prince Christopher had apparently returned from fighting dragons and rescuing princesses.
----
!!The 1997 remake contains examples of:
* AdaptationDistillation / AdaptationExpansion
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: BeautyEqualsGoodness is averted since the villain is played by Bernadette Peters.
* AllStarCast: This version stars Brandy, Jason Alexander, Whoopi Goldberg, Bernadette Peters, Victor Garber, and Whitney Houston.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Really, this trope is completely discarded. In addition to the afforementioned AdaptationalAttractiveness of the stepmother, it isn't ugliness that the stepsisters use to contrast with Cinderella. In this version, instead, they're clumsy, improper, stupid (even the stepmother shows signs she can't stand this; see SurroundedByIdiots below), and have some strange bad habits.
* BetaCouple: The king and queen.
* BillingDisplacement: Brandy's name is last in the credits (among the leads). Whitney Houston, Jason Alexander, and Bernadette Peters come first.
** Although the opening credits start with Brandy's name and go through the rest in alphabetical order.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: The DoubleEntendre mentioned above became reduced to, "Oh, your highness!"
* BrokenAesop: The fairy godmother encourages Cinderella to stop sitting around and dreaming and just get out there and make it happen. After which she proceeds to magically give Cinderella everything she wishes for.
** But only ''after'' Cinderella has resolved to fix her dress and ''hitchhike'' to the ball if that's what it takes to make her dream come true. If she hadn't waited for her to learn that lesson, then Cinderella may not have stood up to her stepmother in the end.
* ButtMonkey: Lionel. In spades.
* DawsonCasting: Averted when producers asked Whitney Houston if she wanted to play Cinderella, but she deemed herself too old for the part.
* DirtyOldMan: When the king and queen are discussing Cinderella, the king is a little too impressed with how beautiful she is.
--> '''King Maximillian''': "Why, if I were a young man I'd-"
--> '''Queen Constantina''': "Yes, dear?"
--> {{Beat}}.
--> '''King Maximillian''': "Well, I'd be younger, wouldn't I?"
--> '''Queen Constantina''': "Yes, dear."
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The stepmother, who is rich and domineering, is white. Cinderella, who works for her as a mistreated household servant, is black.
** Although it is relieving that one of the stepsisters and the queen are both black, so this was most likely unintentional.
* FootFocus: The stepmother's entrance. And of course, the montage of Foot Focuses when everyone is trying on the slipper. Actually, this movie does this a lot.
** The members of Cinderella's stepfamily are the only characters who don't get a real FootFocus when they're trying on the slipper. Except possibly Minerva.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: There's a very short clip at the ball that involves ''[[LesYay the stepmother dancing with a woman.]]''
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: After the shoe fails to fit either of the stepsisters, Cinderella's stepmother becomes so desperate she'll do anything for the prince's money. She locks Cinderella in the kitchen, offers ''herself'' to the prince by trying on the shoe, helplessly begs him to marry one of her daughters, and then when all else fails, she gives a BigNo and then passes out.
* GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: The only reason we know Bernadette Peters is in her middle ages in this movie is because [[OlderThanTheyLook the dialogue tells us so.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: Not in-universe, and probably not intentional, but at one point the stepmother tells Cinderella not to "cling to the past" because "it's not very attractive." This is said by Bernadette Peters, [[GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave who hasn't aged for thirty years.]]
* IJustWantToBeFree: Cinderella.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: The stepsisters. Then again, this is how they're usually played.
* IWantSong: Cinderella's and Prince Christopher's "The Sweetest Sounds", originally written by Rodgers for ''No Strings''.
* LargeHam: Basically everyone except the two leads has moments in this area, notably Whoopi Goldberg, Bernadette Peters, and Jason Alexander. Although Whoopi's portion of it consists of mostly squeaking.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Played straight between Prince Christopher and Cinderella at the ball, but averted earlier when they just become friends.
* MeetCute: When Cinderella first meets Christopher, who's disguised as a commoner. They bring back a few lines from that scene at the end; see MeaningfulEcho above.
* MythologyGag: "Who dances in glass shoes?"
* NoIndoorVoice: I WANT A CHANCE AT HIM!
** As well as the stepmother in her last few minutes onscreen.
* OfCorsetHurts: Beauty knows no pain, girls!
** This may be a nod to the girl in the first film who also fell victim to this trope.
* OhCrap: During "A Lovely Night," Cinderella [[TooDumbToLive is already being stupid enough to describe what she "supposes" the ball was like, in a detailed and accurate fashion]], but she tops it off with the exact same curtsey she used at the ball. Upon recognizing this, this trope is written all over the stepmother's face.
* PluckyComicRelief: Lionel seems to serve no real purpose other than to be this.
* RuleOfThree: In-universe, three members of Cinderella's family try the slipper on before she does, "The Prince Is Giving A Ball" goes through three [[OverlyLongName Overly Long Names]], and both "Impossible" and the added song "The Sweetest Sounds" are sung three times. Outside of that, three of the leads are African-American, and three different shoe sizes were used for the slipper (only one model was actually made of glass), and three songs were added to the score.
* SassyBlackWoman: The fairy godmother and the queen. Especially since they're played respectively by Whitney Houston and Whoopi Goldberg.
* ShowSomeLeg: The stepmother trying to get on Lionel's good side. It doesn't work.
--> '''Lionel''': You know, I honestly wish there were something between us.
--> '''Stepmother''': Really?
--> '''Lionel''': Yes, a continent.
--> (leaves)
* {{Squee}}: After the stepmother tries on the shoe and it fits, she can't stop squealing. Until the shoe cuts her circulation off.
* SurroundedByIdiots: The stepmother appears to feel this way with regards to her daughters.
* VillainSong: Well, Bernadette Peters had to sing ''something''. The song, "Falling in Love with Love," is more of a statement of her opinion, and it's not done in a villainous manner. That may just be because it was originally written for a different show, ''The Boys From Syracuse'', by Rodgers and ''Hart''.

->''And because these daft and dewy-eyed dopes keep building up impossible hopes,''
->''Impossible things are happening every day!''
{{Rodgers and Hammerstein}}'s musical adaptation of [[Literature/{{Cinderella}} the fairytale.]] It was originally filmed for TV in 1957 starring JulieAndrews in the titular role. A rewritten TV remake was also rendered starring Brandy, which had a slightly more modern feel to it and featured a cast of mixed races, along with an added character named Lionel and three other Richard Rodgers songs added to the score. The stepsisters' names as well were changed from Joy and Porscha to Calliope and Minerva, and while the original is clearly an old-fashioned medieval atmosphere, the remake is more surreal and colorful and it's pretty debatable what country they're in (mostly due to the mixed races). There was also a 1965 remake, starring Lesley Ann Warren, which is generally considered the most popular with those who seen it. Most theater fans prefer the 1957 original, but the remake is also quite popular among teenagers.
A Broadway musical might come during the 2012-2013 season, including political satire, {{Cut Song}}s from other Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals, and Cinderella rescuing Prince Christopher. (None of the articles written so far say what he needs rescuing from.)
----
!!Multiple versions contain examples of:
* AerithAndBob: See OverlyLongName.
* CharacterTitle
* CrowdSong: "The Prince is Giving a Ball"
* DisappearedDad: It's made pretty clear that Cinderella's father is dead. [[MissingMom But we never learn where her mother went.]]
** Probably dead too.
* DomesticAbuse: The stepmother. She gets better in the 1957 version.
* DoubleEntendre: The 1957 and 1965 versions include a scene of Cinderella imagining acting "coy and flirtatious" towards Prince Christopher, and reminding him not to "say such things."
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Lesley Ann Warren and Brandy spin during their respective dress transformation scenes.
-->'''Fairy Godmother ('97)''': Turn around, don't let me do all the work!
** Julie Andrews did not spin because the 1957 version was broadcast live, and her transformation uses effects one might use in a stage production.
* IAmSong / IWantSong: "In My Own Little Corner" and its reprise, respectively.
* TheIngenue: Guess who?
* LoveAtFirstSight: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] when Cinderella and Prince Christopher sing about how they met and fell in love "Ten Minutes Ago". (Although, in the 1965 and 1997 versions, the ball marks the ''second'' time they met.
* MeaningfulEcho: In the 1965 and 1997 versions, Christopher and Cinderella quote some lines from [[MeetCute the scene where they first met]] before she tries on the slipper.
* MeaningfulName: Pointed out in the 1965 and 1997 versions. Cinderella explains that she got her name from sitting in the cinders.
--> '''Prince Christopher ('97)''': "Ohh. ''Cinder''ella."
* TheMusical: Another [[Disney/{{Cinderella}} musical]] [[IntoTheWoods retelling.]]
* NoNameGiven: The fairy godmother and the stepmother.
* OverlyLongName: Prince Christopher Rupert Windemere Vladimir Carl Alexander Francois Reginald Lancelot [[EmbarrassingMiddleName Herman]] (Herman?) Herman. Gregory James, son of Her Majesty Queen Constantina Charlotte Ermintrude Guinevere [[EmbarrassingMiddleName Maisie]] (Maisie?) Maisie! Marguerite Ann and His Majesty King Maximillian Godfrey Ladislaus Leopold [[EmbarrassingMiddleName Sydney]] (Sydney?) SYDNEY! Frederick John.
* PimpedOutDress: Both Cinderella and the Fairy Godmother.
* SheCleansUpNicely
* TriumphantReprise: "Impossible" has a pessimistic and cynical first half, but also a part meant to create a glimmer of hope for Cinderella's dreams. After the Fairy Godmother grants Cinderella's wish to go to the ball, the two of them sing "It's Possible," which boasts more optimistic lyrics. It sounds especially triumphant in the 1997 version.
----
!!The original musical contains examples of:
* AdiposeRex: "I want the wine of my country! The wine of my country is beer!"
* AllWomenAreLustful: Stepsister Joy. She's even seen flirting with someone during Cinderella's wedding.
* BetaCouple: The king and queen..
* CoversAlwaysLie: Some [[http://soulcookie.tumblr.com/post/116130795/suicideblonde-julie-andrews-as-cinderella-1957 publicity stills]] show Cinderella wearing a dress with a ''much'' bigger skirt than in the actual musical. Julie Andrews apparently found it hard to move around in this dress.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: The day after the ball, Cinderella decides to go visit Prince Christopher herself instead of wait for him to return.
* FirstNameBasis: Prince Christopher asks Cinderella to call him "Chris" as opposed to "your majesty" or his OverlyLongName.
* FollowTheLeader: CBS hired Rodgers and Hammerstein to help them compete against NBC's televised presentations of the ''PeterPan'' musical by writing a work in which JulieAndrews would go from RagsToRiches in a manner similar to [[MyFairLady her most popular role at the time.]]
* LettingHerHairDown: Averted. Cinderella starts out with a loose ponytail and goes to the ball with a PrimAndProperBun.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Played absolutely straight. Jon Cypher looks like the floor's just dropped out from underneath him. In true musical fashion, the two leads proceed to sing about it in "Ten Minutes Ago."
-->''Ten minutes ago I saw you, I looked up when you came through the door - my head started reeling, you gave me the feeling the room had no ceiling or floor! Ten minutes ago I met you, and we murmured our 'how do you do's' - I wanted to ring out the bells and fling out my arms and to sing out the news!''
* MagicalNanny: Sort of. In this version the fairy godmother really is Cinderella's godmother. She just hasn't told her she's a fairy yet.
* MissingEpisode: People living on the East Coast saw the musical live in color, while those in the west saw a black-and-white kinescope. The DVD only contains the latter version.
* OverlyLongGag: Count how many times Cinderella is told to close the window. In the same scene.
* PrimAndProperBun: Cinderella after the transformation.
* ProductionPosse: This isn't the last time Julie Andrews would star in [[TheSoundOfMusic a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical]]. Also, King Maximilian's actor, Howard Lindsay, would co-write the libretto for the original Broadway version of that musical.
* Really700YearsOld: Rodgers had 30 year-old Edie Adams portray the centuries-old Fairy Godmother.
----
!!The 1965 remake contains examples of:
* AbusiveParent: The stepmother is physically abusive towards Cinderella, though everything is done off screen, and is also verbally abusive towards our heroine.
* BookEnds: The musical begins with a gate opening and ends with it closing.
* {{Disneyfication}}: The film was intended to be more of a straightforward fairy tale than the original, which was more of an AffectionateParody.
** Cinderella even rides a carriage that looks like the one [[{{Disney/Cinderella}} Disney's Cinderella]] rode.
