The magic of true Christmas pantomime swept into the West End last night with the sumptuous and beautiful "Cinderella' that I should think London has ever seen." So wrote Felx Barker in the Evening News after the sensational first night of Harold Fielding's London Coliseum production. Universally hailed as the most beautiful of pantomimes to look at, it has also been acclaimed as the most melodious to listen to, for instead of the usual miscellaneous collection of tunes from here, there, everywhere, this show has a magnificent score from the pens of the century's greastest song writers -- Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Now the score has been catputered on record for all to enjoy... a shows which Harold Hobson in the Sunday Times described as "the best thing of it's kind I have seen."
