Second Original Cast recording of the London Revival Production of the wonderful Musical by Vivian Ellis

Mr. Cinders is the classical musical comedy written by Vivian Ellis and Richard Myers, with a libretto by Clifford Grey and Greatrex Newman. The story is an inversion of the Cinderella fairy tale with the gender roles reversed. And captures the last frantic gasps of the 'roaring twenties' before the gloom of the Great Depression settled in.It was originally a smash hit success of the late 1920's, then seemingly fell out of fashion for a number of decades before it's revival in 1983 starring Denis Lawsonand Christina Matthews. A combination of changing tastes and the fact that pop-star Sting, took one of the musicals most well known songs, Spread A Little Happiness, into the charts, gave the musical a whole new lease of life. And once again the show was a smash hit success, running for over 500 performances in the West End. Since then the musical has been regularly revived and is now seen as a classic musical comedy. This TER recording captures that 1983 revival that once again made Mr Cinders a classic.
