We chat with Sneakerella director thisislizallen about how the imaginative sneaker designs and musical numbers of the new disneyplus musical were crafted:
Sneakerella, which premiered on Disney+ this week, is a brand-new Cinderella retelling that flips the story on its head in more ways than one. Not only is it a modern-day adaptation of the classic princess story with a new set of songs that reflect its big city vibes, it also gives viewers a male Ella and Princess Charming instead of what they've come to expect.
John Salley: Well, it works out really well for Darius King. But it's really hard in business, because I've been trying to do it forever. But I am in business with one of my daughters, so being able to parallel was amazing. I think it was a great way of explaining it. I was showing families and fathers to allow your children to be as creative as they are. If you raise them properly, God willing, it bears the wonderful leaves and the wonderful fruit that happens when you lay the seed properly.
I realized the switch that happened from The Wizard of Oz to the Wiz: Quincy Jones, Diana Ross, Nipsey Russell - everything that was in the movie. Patti LaBelle, can't leave that out; Richard Pryor. Taking all these great people of color and still having a story that runs along the same line, but with a little twist, is exactly what happens in Sneakerella. We just switch some of the roles. My daughter is the one people are vying to get at. The glass slipper becomes an unbelievable sneaker.
