Though she left all other casting to the producers and directors, Houston was set on Norwood for the leading role ? and wanted to handle outreach herself.

Debra Martin Chase: It was like we had the glass shoe that we were trying to fit for the Prince. We held auditions in LA and we saw everybody from Wayne Brady to Antonio Sabato, Jr. It was a huge deal. We just didn?t find the person in LA, so we went to NY. Taye Diggs even came in in New York and there was a lot of anticipation because of "Rent."

Neil Meron: I believe we even saw a young Marc Anthony as well!

Producers were considering Jewel as Cinderella because they nervous about having a black Cinderella who wasn't Whitney. 

Craig Zadan: Though I?ll tell you what was going on behind the scenes: There was an executive at Disney ? who will remain nameless ? and he was very nervous about a black Cinderella. He loved the idea of Whitney being the black fairy godmother, but he came up to us and said, "Well, if you?re coming up with someone like Brandy as Cinderella, why can?t you go get Jewel instead, and have a white Cinderella and a black Fairy Godmother. It?ll still be multicultural." I think he was saying to himself, "Who?s a white version of Brandy?" We said absolutely not. The whole point of this whole thing was to have a black Cinderella. We didn?t want to make it with a white Cinderella. We weren?t interested in a white Cinderella. Still aren?t! We never approached anyone other than Brandy for the role, and Jewel was never approached.

Whitney was NOT going to let that happen any damn way
