====''Cinderella''====
To compete with NBC, which produced the televised version of the [[Mary Martin]] Broadway production of ''[[Peter Pan (1954 musical)|Peter Pan]]'', CBS responded with a musical production of ''[[Cinderella (Rodgers and Hammerstein musical)|Cinderella]]'', with music by [[Richard Rodgers]] and lyrics by [[Oscar Hammerstein II]]. Based upon the [[Cinderella|classic Charles Perrault fairy tale]], it is the only Rodgers and Hammerstein musical to have been written for television. It was originally broadcast live in color on CBS on March 31, 1957, as a vehicle for [[Julie Andrews]], who played the title role; that broadcast was seen by over 100 million people. It was subsequently remade by CBS in 1965, with Lesley Ann Warren, Stuart Damon, [[Ginger Rogers]], and [[Walter Pidgeon]] among its stars; the remake also included the new song "Loneliness of Evening", which was originally composed in 1949 for ''[[South Pacific (musical)|South Pacific]]'' but was not performed in that musical.<ref name=recreates>{{cite news|title=Richard Rodgers recreates a ''Cinderella'' to be remembered|newspaper=[[San Mateo Times]]|date=February 19, 1966|edition=TV Week|page=54}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057950/ |title=Cinderella (1965, TV) |publisher=[[IMDb]] }}.
