hi hi I’m @christress and I’m the daft and dewey eyed dope who’s taking over #VultureMovieClub tonight and live-tweeting the absolute classic, perfect, incredible, gorgeous made for TV movie musical that is Disney’s 1997 Cinderella starring Brandy and Miss Whitney Houston

it's the stroke of 7 pm so throw on your glass slippers and let's get to the ball!!!

All hail Brandy of House Norwood, the First of her Name, Queen of the Altos and Black Princesses, Protector of the Disney Kingdom, the Mother of Belting, THEE Cinderella of the Great ABC Made for TV Movie, Breaker of Glass Ceilings

i do have to disagree with Brandy here I actually think the feathered hat is quite chic

Brando's alto tone and rasp on "The Sweetest Sound" is truly unparalleled when she opens up on the "dearest love in all the world" doves literally fly no joke

Please give major props to screenwriter Robert L. Freedman who - despite not having much experience in musicals - made the brilliant choice to add “The Sweetest Sound” which is originally from the musical "No Strings'

BRANDY AND PAOLO SINGING IN COUNTERPOINT ALERT AND THEY ARE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR EACH OTHER

swear to god my boyfriend didn't realize that Cinderella stood for Cinders like the ash from a fire place until just now. shout out to brandy for a clear and informative line reading!

Me, singing along with this "The Sweetest Sound" reprise

What we talk about when we talk about Jason Alexander's accent work in Disney's Cinderella

WHOOPI and her 5 MILLION DOLLARS of HARRY WINSTON DIAMONDS have entered the chat

Have you seen a more attractive family like truly be honest i simply don't think that i have in my entire life

for all my musical theater heads out there, Kander and Ebb (Chicago, Cabaret) were brought on to turn "The Prince is Giving a Ball" into a full fledged production number worthy of Jason Alexander's immense talent

Fun Fact: "The Prince is Giving a Ball" was the hardest number to film in the entire movie because the set is on a hill. So whenever they had to cut and go back they had to walk back up a hill and start again... couldn't be me

BOTTLE WORK! TUMBLING! BARREL DANCING! Geoge Costanza drinking Champagne while being carried in a bed of flowers i'm sorry but what MORE could you WANT

ok i see you jason alexander optioning up on that last note showing off that you were in the original cast of Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along go off my short king

Brandy's about to absolutely put her foot in "In My Own Corner" also do you hear that amazing R&B infused beat underneath what a gorgeous score and perfect arrangement to suit Brandy's voice #VultureMovieClub

Me, in my childhood bedroom belting out "In My Own Little Corner"

Jason Alexander said i’ve got two weeks off from Seinfeld so I’m going to make an insane choice to get it out of my system https://twitter.com/nwalks/status/1349189083566895112

Only EGOT winner Whoopi Goldberg can make me LAUGH OUT LOUD with a reaction yelp

The late Natalie Desselle Reid was so, SO funny as minerva if you can't get enough of her incredible comedic timing go watch BAPS right after this. Rest in Power

Also, randomly I was in a web series (ok brag alert) called @indoorboystv and Veanne Cox (Calliope) is in it and I met her at the season 3 premiere and she was absolutely lovely and just as hilarious in it as she is in Cinderella if you can believe!
