Ladybird book had a whole colour plate dedicated to Cinderella’s ball gown, which many little girls, including yours truly, pored over) and Cannon does not disappoint in her imagining. The centrepiece of Cinderella is the ball, (the Idina Menzel as Vivian, the mean Stepmother has her own tale of woe and original song, while the stepsisters Malvolia (Maddie Baillio) and Narissa (Charlotte Spencer) do not try too hard to be wicked.

The songs, pop and rock hits and original songs are peppy.
