I then got my life for eight whole minutes as the classic Cinderella story was re-enacted with two modern and, surprisingly well executed, twists; all the characters are black and the story is told through music. But not just any music, the music of the Queen that is Beyonce Knowles-Carter.
Every song fits perfectly with the progression of the plot, from 'Diva' as an introduction to the evil stepmother and ugly stepsisters, to 'Countdown' as the clock strikes midnight and Cinderella has to leave the ball.
The performances also come with some accurate Beyonce-esque dance routines, beautifully shot ballroom scenes and strong vocals from the Prince Charming and video director, Todrick Hall.
Todrick is the mastermind behind this video and over 80 others on his self named Youtube channel where his almost 450,000 subscribers are treated to an array of musicals (amongst other videos), most of which feature original music written and performed by Todrick.
I have only gotten the chance to watch around six videos thus far, and each has impressed me even more than the next.
Below I have shared not only the Cinderonce video but also another musical starring Beauty - from fairytale Beauty and the Beast- with a hilarious original song and creative plot courtesy of Todrick Hall.
Enjoy !
