R&H's Cinderella: The Complete Book and Lyrics of the Broadway Musical Review

Title: R&H's Cinderella: The Complete Book and Lyrics of the Broadway Musical 
Publisher: The Applause Libretto Library
ISBN: 9781480355552
My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

OMG!  I’m so happy.  After a yearlong wait, this book has finally become available on Amazon.  This has to be, hands down, one of my favorite musicals.  And with the Broadway show closing in January, this book is the only way for me to capture the magic in word format. 

Now that they revamped the story to make Cinderella a little bit more empowered (as much as she could be), this has become my favorite version of the tale.  They also changed the plot a bit to make the romance between Cinderella and the Prince more plausible and sweeter.  So, this is not the true original Rodger and Hammerstein’s version.  If this is what you are expecting, this is not it.  This book is based on the script from the 2013 Broadway musical.  This book features the script and the song lyrics only.  There are no music scores.  There are some color images in the center of the book - pics of the OBC and the different remake casts from yesteryears.  My only comment would be that the horizontal pictures are small and I’m not sure why they just didn’t flip it on its side to fill the whole page. 

If you are a fan of the new Broadway version of Cinderella, get this book.  I love reading this book over and over again.
