But “Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella,” featuring music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and based on a new book by Douglas Carter Beane, will present a new take on the classic fairy tale about a young woman who is transformed from a chambermaid into a princess.

Cinderella is the only musical written by Rodgers and Hammerstein for TV, debuting in 1957 starring Julie Andrews. In 2013, the show made its Broadway debut. The show will be at the Fox Tuesday, Nov. 3, through Sunday, Nov. 8. (Tickets start at $33. www.FoxTheatre.org/Cinderella, call 1-855-285-8499)

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently interviewed Beane by phone to discuss the changes he made while also staying true to fairy tale origins.
