I was just listening to Accubroadway, and Cinderella with Brandy came on (I did not even know there was a cast recording of this) What do you guys think of this version?

It's kinda trashy, but I love Bernadette. The two sisters annoy the crap out of me though... and Prince Charming isn't very good looking.

Best example of colorblind casting. EVER.

How does a white man and Whoopi Goldberg end up with an Asian prince?


Makes no sense to me. No sense at all.

I loved Bernadette in it...

Don't really remember much else about it, though. I have it on tape, I should watch it again.

It's just trashy. I don't agree with colorblind casting, unless you can get away with it. Here, you can't. I was just too disney-fied to me.

hence the term colorBLIND Aigoo

you are not supposed to question the fact that the king is white, the queen is african american and the prince is filipino.

i think the importance is played on all of them being human beings and it goes beyond race...

Captain...

It was too Disneyfied so you found it TRASHY?

Gee, I never thought I'd lived to see the two become synonymous...

I liked it. I really did. And I'm all for colorblind casting, or else I'd probably be out of a theatrical job. I just found it odd, was all.

i thought it was groundbreaking in that sense.
the production isn't as bad as people want to make it out to be.

I happen to like it. The color blinding casting is not an issue to me. I love Mrs. Peters in this, as well as Mrs. Cox. I also do not think Brandy did that bad... I liked it!

I think a lot of things Disney does is trashy... Um, the movie with the lama, for example.

I don't see the problem with color-blind casting in this...it's "Cinderella" for god's sake. Do you need realism in "Cinderella?"

Maybe it's trashy because it didn't really follow "Disney" suit, but I found it quite entertaining.

I love this movie... and I LOVE the color blind casting. Especially for a story like "Cinderella" ... it's just so refreshing.

And Bernadette is fabulous as always.

I don't get how it's trashy?
