Ben Stevenson's version of Cinderella is probably the most well- known in the United States. Originally created for the National Ballet of Washington in 1970, it has been restaged for over twenty other companies around the world. BalletMet presented Mr. Stevenson's Cinderella in 1991 and 1993 with lavish sets and costumes that had been newly-designed by David Walker in 1989 for the Houston Ballet. The choreographer was influenced by Ashton but has made the work his own. He revised the structure of the ballet and its music and used thematic choreographic material throughout the work.

The most popular version of Cinderella was written by the French author Charles Perrault in 1697, based on an earlier literary fairy tale by Giambattista Basile (La Gatta cenerentola in 1634). Another well-known version in which the girl is called Aschenputtel was recorded by the German Brothers Grimm in the 19th century.
