The Cinderella story has been told so many times in such spectacular fashion, that it would be easy to make the mistake to assume that no one could ever breathe new life into it. Enter Todrick Hall.

Hall was a contestant on American Idol but I’d wager that this isn’t what he’ll be remembered for from now on, because he just delivered the most fun and sassy take on the aforementioned fairytale.

You can see it above in full and in HD; it’s definitely one of the best ways you could spend 8 minutes of your life today.

The video is called Cinderonce because, while it’s Cinderella’s story, it is told through Beyonce’s songs.

Hall plays the Prince, while the wicked stepmother and stepsisters are played by a group of dancing drag queens – and they’re definitely having the time of their life, you can tell.

So, Cinderonce has everything you could think of: there’s singing (lip-syncing, if you want to get technical), there’s dancing, there’s fabulous fashion, there’s acting and, last but not least, there is a happy ending.

Enjoy!
