It is upon this day decreed that a quest be instituted throughout the length and breadth of our domain...the sole and express purpose of the quest to be as follows... that every single maiden in our beloved kingdom, without prearranged exception, shall try upon her foot this aforementioned slipper of glass. And should one be found upon whose foot said slipper shall properly fit...such maiden shall be acclaimed the object of this search and immediately forthwith shall be locked upon as the one and only true love of His Royal Highness, our beloved son and heir, the Noble Prince. The Noble Prince will humbly and upon bended knee beg, request, or if need be, implore the maiden, that they grant her hand in marriage. Well...whereupon, should the aforementioned-made look with favor upon his suit, but shall the happy couple pledge their troth...on... and in just dues, upon the inevitable demise...of His Most Gracious and August Majesty, the King, succeed to the throne, there to rule all over the land...as Kingsland Queen of our beloved kingdom. so be it.

The Chorus Cinderella

The Female Soloist Though you're dressed in rags

The Chorus Cinderella

The Narrator Once upon a time in a faraway land, there was a tiny kingdom - peaceful, prosperous, and rich in romance and tradition. Here in a stately chateau, there lived a widowed gentleman and his little daughter, Cinderella. Although he was a kind and devoted father, and gave his beloved child every luxury and comfort, still he felt she needed a mother's care. And so he married again, choosing for his second wife a woman of good family with two daughters just Cinderella's age, by name Anastasia and Drizella. It was upon the untimely death of this good man, however, that the stepmother's true nature was revealed. Cold, cruel, and bitterly jealous of Cinderella's charm and beauty, she was grimly determined to forward the interests of her own two awkward daughters. Thus, as time went by, the chateau fell into disrepair, for the family fortunes were squandered upon the vain and selfish stepsisters, while Cinderella was abused, humiliated, and finally forced to become a servant in her own house. And yet, through it all, Cinderella remained ever gentle and kind, for with each dawn she found new hope that someday, her dreams of happiness would come true.

Gus I'll cut it with the scissors!

Jaq And I can do the sewing.

The Female Mouse Leave the sewing to the women.You go get some trimmin'.

Jaq and Gus And we'll make a lovely dress for Cinderelly!

Anastasia Tremaine There. I knew it was my slipper. Exactly my size. I always wear the same size. As soon as I saw it, I said... Well, it-it may be a trifle snug today. You know how it is, dancing all night. I can't understand why. It's always fit perfectly before. I don't think you're half trying. Mother, can you...

Lady Tremaine Shhh. Quiet, my dear. We mustn't disturb his Grace. Young lady, are you sure you're trying it on the right foot?

Anastasia Tremaine Oh, it's the right foot, but it must have shrunk or something. A glass shoe isn't always reliable.

Cinderella Why, it's like a dream. A wonderful dream come true.

The Fairy Godmother Yes, my child, but like all dreams, well, I'm afraid this can't last forever. You have only until midnight, and-

Cinderella Midnight? Oh, thank you.

The Fairy Godmother Oh, now, just a minute. You must understand, my dear: On the stroke of twelve, the spell will be broken, and everything will be as it was before.

Cinderella Oh, I understand, but...it's more than I ever hoped for.

The Fairy Godmother Bless you, my child. I... Goodness me! It's getting late. Hurry up, dear. The ball can't wait. Have a good time. Dance, be gay. Now, off you go. You're on your way.

Drizella Tremaine Oh, of all the stupid little idiots! I'll do it myself! Get away from me! I'll make it fit! There!

Lady Tremaine It fits!

The Grand Duke It fits?

Lady Tremaine Oh, Your Grace, I'm dreadfully sorry. It shan't happen again.

The Grand Duke Precisely, madam.

Taglines Greatest Since Snow White

Cinderella No, I mean it. Lucifer has his good points, too. For one thing, he...Well, sometimes he...Hmmm. There must be something good about him.

Cinderella A dream is a wish your heart makesWhen you're fast asleep.In dreams you will lose your heartaches.Whatever you wish for, you keep.Have faith in your dreams, and somedayYour rainbow will come smiling through.No matter how your heart is grieving,If you keep on believing,The dreams that you wish will come true.
