The oft-told tale of Cinderella is plotting its way back to screens — this time as a limited series.

Skydance Television, Concord Originals and Jennifer Lopez’s Nuyorican Productions are teaming up to produce a series based on Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. Rachel Shukert, who created The Baby-Sitters Club for Netflix, will adapt the musical and serve as showrunner.

The project is the first to result from a deal between the three companies to develop original material based on Concord’s library of musicals. It will be taken to potential buyers in the near future.

Jennifer Lopez seems like a natural successor to Whitney so count me excited for this.

I’ve never been so exhausted by a public domain property.

The Oklahoma thing predated JLo's deal

I was looking forward to her doing Bye Bye Birdie on tv and was disappointed it did not pan out.

It sounds like I could absolutely adore this, but I am a bit confused. This will be a limited series? Like the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical getting stretched into half/full hour episodes?
