Cinderella was founded in Philadelphia, PA, in 1983 by singer/songwriter/guitarist/keyboardist Tom Keifer (born January 26, 1961) and bassist Eric Brittingham (born May 8, 1960), who quickly added lead guitarist Jeff LaBar (born March 18, 1963). Guitarist Michael Kelly Smith and drummer Tony Destra were ... early members of the band, but they left in 1985 to form Britny Fox. Cinderella then added drummer Jody Cortez and continued as a four-piece. Insisting on playing original material, they performed in clubs and bars in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and in 1985 Jon Bon Jovi caught one of their shows. He was sufficiently impressed to alert his record company, Mercury, which signed the band. Their debut album, Night Songs, was released in June 1986.

Cinderella ballets ... were produced elsewhere in Europe. The 1901 Berlin production by Graeb was noted for its score by Johann Strauss, and was his first and only ballet score. Joseph Hassreiter used the music in Vienna in 1908 and Robert de Warren used it for second Cinderella in 1979. It is interesting to note that of the three very different productions at Northern Ballet, none was set to Prokofiev's music.

The success of Ashton's Cinderella ensured that Cinderella, previously destined for obscurity, would not be dropped from the popular repertoire. Even the Russians, who had so struggled with it, were moved to re-stage it, giving it their all with a new production for the Bolshoi Ballet that was filmed in 1961 with Raisa Struchkova in the title role

Cinderella thought, "If only my pigeons will come again," and her heart beat a little faster. The pigeons did come, just as they had the evening before, and said, "Cinderella, would you like us to help you sort the peas."
