Cinderella fans, the wait is over! CBS-TV broadcast of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella," will be reaired — for the first time since the original 1957 telecast — on PBS stations in December. "Someone was kind enough to tell me just as I was about to go on, that more people would possibly see our single performance than all the packed houses at My Fair Lady for 100 years. Remember, it was all live!" So says Julie Andrews about her 1957 performance in the CBS-TV Cinderella broadcast. About the role of Cinderella, Andrews added, "I was given a wonderful gift by two of the most famous writers of any stage. For me, they wrote the part that every little girl longs to be." What she may not have added was they wrote the part specifically for her and Rodgers and Hammerstein readily admit they agreed to do the show because of the chance to work with Julie. The national air date for "Cinderella" is Dec. 13 at 9 PM ET. Those in the metropolitan area will get the chance to see the acclaimed production a few days earlier: WNET/Thirteen will air the black and-white production as part of its pledge drive on Dec. 5 from 8-9:30 PM ET. Academy Award winner Andrews will host the broadcast of the musical, and the program will include interviews with three of the show's other stars, who reminisce about the filming of "Cinderella": Jon Cypher, Kaye Ballard and Edie Adams.
