Recordings
The original cast and orchestra made a recording of the music for Columbia Records on March 18, 1957, under the supervision of Goddard Lieberson. The album was released in conjunction with the broadcast less than two weeks later. It was later reissued on CD by Sony. The black-and-white kinescope recording of the dress rehearsal, made the night before the telecast, was broadcast on PBS in December 2004 as part of its Great Performances series. It was later released on DVD with a documentary including most of its original players, as well as a kinescope of Rodgers and Hammerstein's appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show the preceding Sunday, featuring Hammerstein reciting one of the songs to orchestral accompaniment.
A cast LP album of the 1965 telecast was also issued by Columbia Masterworks Records and on a Sony Masterworks CD. All three of the telecast versions of Cinderella have been released on DVD.
