Netflix and Amy Poehler Developing Animated Musical About Cinderella s Stepsisters
Parks and Recreation and
Saturday Night Live standout Amy Poehler is set to develop an animated musical for Netflix, centering on the (ugly/evil) stepsisters of Cinderella. Titled
Steps, the musical comedy will take the sisters on an epic journey to get their own happy endings after being overlooked by the prince in the classic fairytale. If this feels a bit like
Wicked, which centered on and humanized the witch from
The Wizard of Oz, that s likely no accident.
Wicked is an oft-imitated success which has somehow never made its way to a TV or film adaptation yet, despite many attempts.
