Cinderella approaches queerness — but only cautiously and aesthetically
Billy Porter’s casting as a genderless fairy godmother however well-intentioned, is rehearsed, unsurprising, and frankly, boring. Versions differed — with the pumpkin turning into a carriage, the fairy godmother, and the glass slipper added to the French version in the late 17th Century — but the frame story struck a chord. The role of the fairy godmother in Perrault’s Cinderella was conceived as that similar to a godmother — of bestowing care and convenience upon their godchild. In this 2021 adaptation by Kay Cannon, Billy Porter brings his Pose energy to the character — a gender agnostic nurturing figure, divorcing gender from caretaking, a Fabulous Godmother, not a Fairy Godmother, booted with Jimmy Choo.
