Posted: 1/3/06 at 10:18pmAnyone else remember "Cindy," an all-black TV-musical version of Cinderella from the 70s? I loved it and would love to see it again.

I don't think I remember "Cindy", Millie.
Do you know who did the music?
Is it worthy of a revival?
Which of today's crop could star in the remake?

Posted: 1/3/06 at 10:34pmNot sure who did the music, but James L. Brooks and Ed. Weinberger (both of Mary Tyler Moore Show fame) wrote the teleplay, and the cast included Cleavant Derricks, Clifton Davis and Nell Carter. Definitely worthy of a remake/revival, on TV or on stage. Not sure about new cast. Any suggestions? Audra McD. as Fairy Godmother?

Wait! This just in from imdb.com:
"Original Music by
Stan Daniels
Howard A. Roberts (additional music)"
Stan is also an MTM alum. Good pedigree.

Posted: 1/3/06 at 10:43pmNell was an evil step-sister. Would love to see her performance now that I know who she is/was.

Posted: 1/4/06 at 12:20pmCharlaine Woodard was Cindy w/ Nell (pre "Gimme a Break" and just off her Tony win but going by the name Nell-Ruth Carter) and Alaina Reed of "227" as the stepsisters. The dreamy Clifton Davis was the prince character and Cleavant Derricks was also in the cast.

I remember Cindy. It may be a little dated by today's standards. For example, there's a whole song about how her father is the men's washroom attendant at the Plaza Hotel.
"He's the best
damn
men's washroom attendant
in the history of
The Plaza Hotel"
