NEW YORK -- When the sweet-voiced, wholesomely beautiful Laura Osnes last appeared on Broadway, she was packing heat, in more than one sense: As memorable outlaw Bonnie Parker in 2011's musical adaptation of Bonnie and Clyde, the young leading lady was armed and tempestuous in a way that fans who had watched her blossom in a string of ingenue roles might never have expected.
The new production of Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella (* * * 1/2 out of four) that opened Sunday at the Broadway Theatre finds Osnes less surprisingly cast, but just as beguiling. The musical, appearing on the Great White Way for the first time, began its life as a 1957 TV movie starring Julie Andrews -- leaving the current star with a pretty big pair of glass slippers to fill.
