New York, August 25, 2013--Todrick Hall, "American Idol" alum and Broadway's "The Color Purple" and "Memphis" former cast member, has produced another viral hit in "Cinderonce," a retelling of beloved fairy tale "Cinderella"--some costumes have references to the Disney's animated film released in 1950--featuring a selection from pop superstar Beyonce Knowles' discography: "Halo," "Get Your Freekum Dress On"--performed by "RuPaul Drag Race's" Shangela as the Fairy Drag Mother--and "Single Ladies," among others.

Besides Shangela, Hall, playing Prince Charming, also appears in the video, together with "American Idol" alum Vonzell Solomon and "America's Next Top Model's" Miles Jai as Cinderella's wicked stepfamily members.

A YouTube sensation, Hall first retold "Cinderella" June last year to campaign for marriage equality. Titled "CinderFella," the title role performed by Hall himself, presents a mashup of Disney songs--some from Disney's "Cinderella"--and recent pop hit songs such as Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" and "Firework."
