This week's Dream Cast Thursday is Cinderella. I looked at several adaptations when considering my casting. I looked at Disney's Cinderella (1950), Faerie Tale Theatre's Cinderella (1985), Roger and Hammerstein's Cinderella (1997), and Ever After (1998).
The first character that I cast was Cinderella. She has been played by Ilene Woods, Jennifer Beals, Brandy Norwood, and Drew Barrymore. For my adaptation, I cast an Australian actress named Abbie Cornish.
The second character that I recast was the Prince. He has been played by William Phipps, Matthew Broderick, Paolo Montalban, and Dougray Scott. For my adaptation, I cast an English actor named Charlie Hunnam.
The third character that I recast was the Fairy Godmother. This character has been played by Verna Felton, Whitney Houston, and Patrick Godfrey. For my adaptation, I cast an American actress named Jane Fond
The next characters that I recast were the evil stepsisters. They have been played by Rhoda Williams and Lucille Bliss and Megan Dodds and Melanie Lynskey. For my adaptation, I recast Anna Maxwell Martin and Laura Pyper. 
The last character that I recast was the Stepmother. She has been played by Eleanor Audley and Anjelica Huston. For my adaptation, I cast Susan Sarandon.
So what do you all think? What is your favorite Cinderella adaptation? Who would be in your remake?
