Apparently, there are four very different, licensable theatrical scripts available to be produced of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella."
My curiosity was peaked.
On YouTube I ran across a video of the very first production of the R and H "Cinderella." It was a Broadway-styled production presented for CBS in 1957 on LIVE television. It starred Julie Andrews as Cinderella with other famous actors in the main roles. Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote it specifically for TV.
Television was a fairly new vehicle in those days. Only since 1955 was it mainstream enough for half of the families in the United States to even have one. It must have been quite a feat for the director to plan all of those set pieces, the choreography and blocking, the live music and sound, the lighting, and the camera angles to work for a live show. To our modern eyes and ears, this production seems rather primitive. But in that time, I'm sure they used the most up-to-date techniques available. Magic really couldn't happen, so they just didn't show any. (We are so used to AI and CG these days. We expect magic!)
Later remakes of "Cinderella" were also made for television, but they were obviously pre-filmed, used color, used magical sequences, and used more and different characters, scenes, and songs. "Cinderella" didn't make it to the Broadway stage until 2013.
Well, of the four scripts available, I can't say I like one more than the others. Although I am still a fan of Richard Rodgers' music, I get the feeling that Oscar Hammerstein was never really happy with this show or he would have created one definitive script. He was probably not as comfortable with fantasy as he was with reality. His other shows like "Oklahoma," "Carousel," "South Pacific," "King and I," and "Flower Drum Song" all dealt with weightier subjects. I don't believe the stage versions of these shows have four different licensable versions.

Here's another song I added to a show. This gave the Kamikazi Wind Spirit the message song of the whole show.
"Hero" from "Momotaro."
