Five Reasons We Are Living For Fran Drescher in Cinderella

TV sitcom queen Fran Drescher is bringing her ‘happily divorced’ self from Flushing, Queens to the Enchanted Forest as the new star of Broadway’s Tony-winning musical Cinderella. The Emmy nominee adds style and flair to the role of Ella’s wicked stepmother Madame. BroadwayBox was lucky enough to catch the small-screen legend’s Broadway debut, and here are five reasons we are just living for Fran.

1. A graduate from the school of Lucille Ball and Bea Arthur, Fran Drescher knows a good facial reaction goes a long way. And boy is she giving face!

4. William Ivey Long designed new gowns and hats for the new headliner, and they are ready to walk the runway in Paris.

5. Because for six years, the world welcomed her into our homes and hearts as Fran Fine. She’s a part of television history and a whole generation’s childhood.


The opportunity to see a star of that caliber singing and dancing live doesn’t come along everyday.
