Based on the fairytale character and story of [[Cinderella]], Rodgers and Hammerstein created their only collaborative effort written for television. ''Cinderella'' aired on March 31, 1957, on [[CBS]].  More than 107&nbsp;million viewers saw the broadcast, and [[Julie Andrews]] was nominated for an [[Emmy Award]] for her performance in the title role.<ref>Gans, Andrew.

Rodgers stated, "What won us over was the chance to work with Julie."  Andrews played Cinderella, with [[Edith Adams]] as the Fairy Godmother, [[Kaye Ballard]] and [[Alice Ghostley]] as stepsisters Joy and Portia, and [[Jon Cypher]] as Prince Christopher.  Though it was broadcast in color, and the major networks all had the new (B&W) videotape recorders from Ampex, a black and white [[kinescope]] is all that remains. It featured songs still treasured today, "In My Own Little Corner", "Ten Minutes Ago" and "Impossible: It's Possible." After the success of the 1957 production, another version was presented in 1965 and shown annually on CBS, starring [[Lesley Ann Warren]], [[Stuart Damon]], [[Celeste Holm]] and [[Walter Pidgeon]]. Yet another television version first aired [[Cinderella (1997 film)|in 1997]] on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], produced by [[Walt Disney Television]], starring [[Brandy (singer)|Brandy]], [[Whitney Houston]], [[Bernadette Peters]], and [[Whoopi Goldberg]]. Stage versions were also presented in London and elsewhere, and the musical finally was given a Broadway production, with a revised book by [[Douglas Carter Beane]], and incorporating four songs from the Rodgers and Hammerstein catalog, in 2013.
