Cinderella
Cinderella is the heroine of the show. She is a strong-willed girl with enormous faith. Cinderella believes that, in time, good things happen to good people, and deep down
she knows her day will come. She does not resent her Stepfamily - she is aware of their social and emotional limitations. She sings a beautiful ballad, so cast your
strongest singer/actress combination. This role requires an actress who can convey Cinderella's conviction and her inner beauty.

SIDE 1
MICE
Cinderelly? Cinderelly? Cinderelly! Cinderelly!
NARRATOR 3 The mice were her best friends, and helped her as much as they could. Let's see,
there was Perla, and Jaq, and Luke ... and Gus ...
(GUS remains cowering in a corner.)
CINDERELLA
Come out, Gus! (patting GUS's paw)
Don't let them scare you.
GUS
Cinderelly go to the party!
CINDERELLA
A ball. Can you imagine? It would be a dream come true.
GUS
Dream, Cinderelly?
CINDERELLA Why Gus, don't you know what a dream is? It's important to have a dream.
SIDE 2
STEPMOTHER
Girls, don't forget to give Cinderella your laundry. It's dirty sock day!
(The STEPSISTERS dump a pile of dirty socks on CINDERELLA. The MICE clench their
paws in anger.)
JAQ
Grrr!
LUKE
Mean, mean, mean!!!!
CINDERELLA
Now now, fellas, it's all right. I'm not going to think about dirty socks. I'm going to think about the ball. All the ladies in their fancy dresses, and all the men with their
handsome coats and mustaches, and --
(GUS takes a bow, and offers his paw.)
Why sir, are you asking me to dance? How lovely!
SIDE 3
(STEPMOTHER and the STEPSISTERS exit. CINDERELLA collapses to the ground.)
NARRATOR 3 Cinderella tried to be brave and hide her tears, but it was too much. The mice tried to
comfort her, but it was no use.
CINDERELLA There's nothing left to believe in. Nothing.
(Suddenly, FAIRY GODMOTHER appears.)
FAIRY GODMOTHER Nothing, my dear? Oh, now, you don't really mean that.
CINDERELLA Why, who are you?
FAIRY GODMOTHER I'm your Fairy Godmother.
CINDERELLA But that's impossible.
FAIRY GODMOTHER Nonsense, child. If it were impossible, I wouldn't be here. And here I am.
(CINDERELLA gasps as FAIRY GODMOTHER helps her to her feet.)
Oh, come now. Dry those tears. You can't go to the ball looking like that.
CINDERELLA
The ball? Oh, but I'm not.
FAIRY GODMOTHER
Of course you are. But we'll have to hurry, because even miracles take a little time.
CINDERELLA
Miracles?
FAIRY GODMOTHER
Oh yes! Now run to the garden and pick me the prettiest rose. And when you return, you'll be off to the ball in no time!
CINDERELLA Really, Fairy Godmother?
FAIRY GODMOTHER Really and truly. Now run along!
(CINDERELLA runs off. FAIRY GODMOTHER gathers the MICE around her.)
Now, let's see. Um, I'm going to need a little help here. Are you ready?
MICE Ready, ready!!!
FAIRY GODMOTHER
I'd say the first thing we need is, um, a pumpkin.
Stepsisters and Stepmother
The Stepsisters should be cast with two of your stronger actresses with excellent
comedic timing and physical comedy skills. ANASTASIA works well when played as
spoiled rotten and not very bright. She's used to getting her way and throws a fit
whenever she hears the word "no." DRIZELLA works well as the bully of the two.
Although both Stepsisters hate Cinderella equally, Drizella is more likely to be the one
that starts a fight with her. There are no solos for the Stepsisters.
Stepmother is the mother to Anastasia and Drizella and the stepmother to
Cinderella. She is cold, cruel, and calculating. She is unhappy with her place in life and is determined to use her daughters to get where she wants to be: the Palace.
She is threatened by Cinderella's kindness and the effect it has on people. Casting an actress with the maturity to maintain the level-headedness of the Stepmother around
her frenzied daughters is important. No solo work is required of this character, so cast a stronger actor.
Gender: female
(CINDERELLA enters, balancing a huge breakfast tray on her head, wincing from the
bloodcurdling screams of her STEPMOTHER and STEPSISTERS.) ANASTASIA
Where's my muffin?
DRIZELLA
Where's my tea? I can't possibly start the morning without my tea!!!
(The STEPSISTERS charge out of their bedroom and crash into CINDERELLA, causing the breakfast tray to spill all over them.)
ANASTASIA Look what you've done now, you klutz!
DRIZELLA
My favorite nightie, and you've completely ruined it!
STEPMOTHER
Girls, girls - what's going on?
(CINDERELLA scrambles to clean up the mess.)
Oh, I should have guessed. Really, Cinderella, you must learn to be more careful.
SIDE 2
(STEPMOTHER and the STEPSISTERS stop dead in their tracks. CINDERELLA shows
them her dress.)
CINDERELLA
Isn't it lovely? Do you like it? Do you think it will do?
ANASTASIA
Cinderella!
DRIZELLA
I don't believe it!
ANASTASIA
Oh, she just can't --
STEPMOTHER Girls, please. After all, we did make a bargain. Didn't we, Cinderella?
(fingering her beads) These beads, they give it just the right touch. Don't you think so, Drizella?
DRIZELLA No, I don't. I think she's --
(gasps) Why, you little thief! They're my beads! Give them here!
(rips the beads off of CINDERELLA)
CINDERELLA Oh, no.
ANASTASIA Oh, and look, that's my sash. Wearing my sash! She can't.
(The STEPSISTERS shriek as they tear at CINDERELLA's dress.)
CINDERELLA Oh, stop. Please stop!
DRIZELLA Oh, this is mine --
ANASTASIA Oh, you ungrateful little --
STEPMOTHER Girls! Girls! That's quite enough. Hurry along now, both of you. I won't have you
upsetting yourselves.
(CINDERELLA looks at her torn dress. STEPMOTHER sneers at CINDERELLA.)
Goodnight, Cinderella.
SIDE 3
(The scene changes to the Royal Palace, where STEPMOTHER and the STEPSISTERS are preparing to enter. The STEPSISTERS are fighting like cats and dogs.)
DRIZELLA Me first!
ANASTASIA No, ME first, you ugly beast!
DRIZELLA Takes one to know one!
ANASTASIA (imitating)
"Takes one to know one!" How is your Prince ever going to pick you with that whhhhiiiiine of yours?
DRIZELLA Am I hearing something? I think someone's talking but I'm not sure ...
STEPMOTHER
Now girls, girls! Is that any way for future princesses to behave? Now, come along and practice your curtsies.
ANASTASIA Like she has to bother.
(to DRIZELLA) One look at you and the prince is going to run ...
DRIZELLA Oh yeah? After choking at the sight of your face, he'll be frozen stiff!
ANASTASIA Take that back, you stupid ninny!
SIDE 4
CINDERELLA Please wait. May I try it on?
STEPMOTHER Oh, pay no attention to her.
DRIZELLA It's only Cinderella.
ANASTASIA She's just the maid!
DRIZELLA
She works in the barn!
ANASTASIA
Yuck!
DRIZELLA
Very smelly.
ANASTASIA
She doesn't count!
DRIZELLA
She's out of her mind.
STEPMOTHER
(making "cuckoo" sign)
Woo! Woo!
Perla
Perla is the most mature of the mice and is always ready to straighten out a mess. She is the only female role of the four main mice, so there can be a maternal instinct
about her. She is often near Gus, helping him on his way. This role requires a strong mover and character actor. The actress must not only move like a mouse, but also
talk and sing like a mouse. There are solo singing lines for this role. Gender: female
Vocal range top: D4

SIDE 1
JAQ Look! Dress for ball!
GUS
It's pretty-pretty, but it's old.
PERLA
We can fix that. Need things! Need things!
(The STEPSISTERS stomp across the stage, flinging accessories on the ground.)
(The STEPSISTERS stomp off as the MICE eye their scattered castoffs.)
JAQ Lookee, lookee!
PERLA We can do it.
GUS It'll be reezy!
SIDE 2
(Off to the side, the MICE hold paws and "wish" really hard. The FAIRY GODMOTHER appears.)
FAIRY GODMOTHER There, there. Now what's all the fuss about?
PERLA Cinderelly's in trouble!
JAQ
No hope! No hope!!!
Jaq
Jaq (pronounced Jacques) is Luke's partner in crime. A happy, playful mouse, he is always eager to help. Jaq has the most solo lines of all the mice, so make sure you
cast a strong singer. This role requires a strong mover and character actor. The actor should be able to move, talk, and sing like a mouse. Jaq can be played by a boy or
a girl. Gender: both

JAQ

Luke
Luke is Jaq's partner in crime. Even though he is just as playful as Jaq, he is more level-headed. He is fiercely loyal to Cinderella. Luke gets the most upset when the
Stepfamily is mean to Cinderella. This role requires a strong mover and character actor. There are no solos for Luke, so cast based on acting. The actor playing Luke
should be able to move, talk, and sing like a mouse. Luke can be played by a boy or a girl.
Gender: both
(The STEPSISTERS dump a pile of dirty socks on CINDERELLA's head and exit. The MICE clench their paws in anger.)
JAQ Grrr!
LUKE Mean, mean, mean!!!!
Gus
Gus is the most innocent of the mice and Cinderella's biggest fan. Often simple, shy
and fearful, Gus responds immediately when Cinderella calls to him. Given the
additional characteristics of this famous mouse, cast an exceptionally strong mover
and character actor in this part. There are only a handful of sung solo lines, so choose
a stronger actor over a singer. This actor should also be able to take on the
characteristics of a mouse. Gus can be played by a boy or a girl.

(GUS shouts out, as the other MICE pull him back into hiding.)
GUS
No, no, no! Cinderelly's slipper. Cinderel --
Fairy Godmother
The Fairy Godmother is the quintessential female mentor. She is kind, gentle and loving, yet strong and extremely capable. Her goal is to help Cinderella succeed by
teaching her how much power she has within herself. Cast an actress who can portray the maturity of a maternal figure. Fairy Godmother sings "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-
Boo," so a strong singer must be cast in this role. Gender: female

CINDERELLA There's nothing left to believe in. Nothing.
(Suddenly, FAIRY GODMOTHER appears.)
FAIRY GODMOTHER Nothing, my dear? Oh, now, you don't really mean that.
CINDERELLA
Why, who are you?
FAIRY GODMOTHER
I'm your Fairy Godmother.
CINDERELLA
But that's impossible.
FAIRY GODMOTHER
Nonsense, child. If it were impossible, I wouldn't be here. And here I am.
(CINDERELLA gasps as FAIRY GODMOTHER helps her to her feet.)
Oh, come now. Dry those tears. You can't go to the ball looking like that.
CINDERELLA

Wonderful! Now, um, now, uh, the magic words. um, oh - oh, yes!
SIDE 2
CINDERELLA
Why, it's all like a dream - a wonderful dream come true!
FAIRY GODMOTHER
Yes, my child. But remember, the spell lasts only till midnight.
CINDERELLA
Midnight? Oh, thank you!
FAIRY GODMOTHER
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!
Narrators
The Narrators are storytellers--the show's plot and the actions and reactions of the characters are expressed. Good narration looks easy, but requires strong actors. Cast
actors that are mature enough to stand for long periods of time. Clear, loud voices with good diction are a must. These are good roles for actors that might not be your
strongest singers. Gender: both
SIDE 1
NARRATOR 1 Once upon a time in a faraway land, there was a tiny kingdom.
NARRATOR 2 And in this kingdom lived a beautiful young girl named Cinderella.
NARRATOR 3
Cinderella had an evil stepmother, and two evil stepsisters named Anastasia and Drizella.
NARRATOR 4 Cold, cruel and jealous, they made Cinderella a servant in her own house!
NARRATOR 1 And yet, through it all, Cinderella never stopped hoping that someday her dreams of
happiness would come true.
SIDE 2
NARRATOR 1 Cinderella was very sad she couldn't go to the ball. But what she didn't know was
that the mice had a big surprise for her!
MICE
Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!
CINDERELLA
I don't believe it! How can I ever thank you? It's beautiful!
NARRATOR 2
Cinderella put on her dress as fast as she could, tied her hair with a beautiful ribbon, and ran to catch the coach.
SIDE 3
(The PRINCE notices a discarded shoe -- CINDERELLA's glass slipper)
PRINCE Look! She left her slipper!
KING Aha! Don't worry, son! We'll find her!
PRINCE But how?
(The KING draws a blank and looks up, thinking.)
GRAND DUKE
We could try that slipper on every girl in the kingdom!
KING
I've got an idea! Let's try the slipper on every girl in the kingdom!
GRAND DUKE
(rolling his eyes) Great idea, Your Majesty.
(The KING, PRINCE and GRAND DUKE exit.)
NARRATOR 1 So all through the night, everyone searched and searched.
NARRATOR 2 But the beautiful maiden was nowhere to be found.
NARRATOR 3 So, the next morning, as the Prince and King waited in the royal coach, the Grand
Duke and Herald knocked on every door, trying to find the foot that would fit the
glass slipper.
NARRATOR 4
They tried and tried and tried, but had no luck at all. Finally, they arrived at
Cinderella's house.
Town Criers
The Town Criers are pivotal in all "royal announcements." Cast actors who can project their voices well for these featured roles that require no solos.
Gender: both
SIDE 1
TOWN CRIER 1
(fanfare) Hear ye, hear ye! All subjects of the kingdom!
(STEPMOTHER and the STEPSISTERS rush to the window to try to see what's going
on.)
TOWN CRIER 2
By royal proclamation, the King declares a royal ball tonight!
TOWN CRIER 3 All unmarried young ladies of the kingdom are invited to attend and meet Prince
Charming!
TOWN CRIER 4
And that means all the young ladies
SIDE 2
TOWN CRIER 1
Hear ye, hear ye! All subjects of the kingdom!
TOWN CRIER 2 The royal ball is about to begin!
TOWN CRIER 3 Will all of the eligible young ladies please...
(The TOWN CRIERS stare at the STEPSISTERS.)
TOWN CRIER 4
... get off the ground and step inside!
(STEPMOTHER yanks the STEPSISTERS up by their hair, brushes them off, and shoves them inside. The HERALD appears.)
TOWN CRIER 1 & 2 And now, without further ado ...
TOWN CRIER 3 & 4 We are proud to present ...
King
The King is a parent who just wants his child to be happy. The King throws the royal ball so his son, the Prince, can meet a potential mate. Once the Prince meets and
then loses Cinderella, the King does everything in his power to help his son find her again. This role requires an actor who can portray the stature of a king and the caring
of a father. No solo singing is required for this part. Gender: male
Side 1
KING
Don't worry, son. You'll find a girl tonight!
PRINCE
Don't count on it. I don't even like to dance.
(The PRINCE stops and looks up as CINDERELLA enters and approaches him.)
Hello ... would you like to dance?
CINDERELLA Why thank you, Your Highness.
PRINCE I'm afraid I'm not very good at it.
CINDERELLA Me neither. But we can try!
KING (to the GRAND DUKE, excited)
Did you hear that??? (calling to a conductor, offstage)
Hit it, maestro!
NARRATOR 4
The night went on, and the Prince and Cinderella danced and danced. Other girls tried to get his attention ...
ANASTASIA, DRIZELLA Yoo hoo!
NARRATOR 4 ... but he wouldn't dance with anyone else.
KING
And now, everyone, the dance we've all been waiting for ... the Midnight Minuet!
Side 2
(The PRINCE notices a discarded shoe -- CINDERELLA's glass slipper)
PRINCE
Look! She left her slipper!

GRAND DUKE We could try that slipper on every girl in the kingdom!
KING I've got an idea! Let's try the slipper on every girl in the kingdom!
GRAND DUKE (rolling his eyes)
Great idea, Your Majesty.
Prince Charming
The Prince is a young man who is not happy with his duty to find a bride. At the royal ball, he is bored and petulant. The Prince's world changes when he finally meets
Cinderella. No solo singing is required in this role. Cast an actor who can portray the Prince's longing as he searches for Cinderella.
Gender: male
Side 1
KING
Don't worry, son. You'll find a girl tonight!
PRINCE
Don't count on it. I don't even like to dance.
(The PRINCE stops and looks up as CINDERELLA enters and approaches him. A hush
falls over the ballroom.)
Hello ... would you like to dance?
CINDERELLA
Why thank you, Your Highness.
PRINCE
I'm afraid I'm not very good at it.
CINDERELLA
Me neither. But we can try!
NARRATOR 4
The night went on, and the Prince and Cinderella danced and danced. Other girls tried to get his attention ...
NARRATOR 4 ... but he wouldn't dance with anyone else.
KING And now, everyone, the dance we've all been waiting for ... the Midnight Minuet!
(The clock begins to chime, and CINDERELLA suddenly realizes what time it is.)
CINDERELLA (gasps)
Oh my goodness! PRINCE
What's the matter?
CINDERELLA
Goodbye.
(CINDERELLA starts to leave, but the PRINCE stops her.)
PRINCE
No, no, wait!
CINDERELLA
It's midnight! I have to go!
PRINCE
But why?
(The clock continues to chime.)
CINDERELLA
Goodbye.
(CINDERELLA runs off.)
PRINCE No! Wait! Come back! I don't even know your name! How will I find you?
Stop the music! Stop the music! Please, everyone ... help me find that girl!
GRAND DUKE You heard him, everyone! Let's go!!! (EVERYONE exits, chattering and looking
frantically for CINDERELLA. The KING, PRINCE and GRAND DUKE stay behind.)
KING
Where could she be?
GRAND DUKE
She can't have gone far!
Side 2
(The PRINCE notices a discarded shoe -- CINDERELLA's glass slipper)
PRINCE
Look! She left her slipper!
KING
Aha! Don't worry, son! We'll find her!
PRINCE
But how?
(The KING draws a blank and looks up, thinking.)
GRAND DUKE We could try that slipper on every girl in the kingdom!
KING I've got an idea! Let's try the slipper on every girl in the kingdom!
GRAND DUKE (rolling his eyes)
Great idea, Your Majesty.
Grand Duke
The Grand Duke is clearly the brains behind the royal family. He knows how much he is needed by the royal family and thinks very highly of himself. Cast this role with an
actor who has good comedic timing. No solo singing is required. Gender: male
(The PRINCE notices a discarded shoe -- CINDERELLA's glass slipper)
PRINCE
Look! She left her slipper!
KING
Aha! Don't worry, son! We'll find her!
PRINCE
But how?

Great idea, Your Majesty.
(The KING, PRINCE and GRAND DUKE exit.)
NARRATOR 1
So all through the night, everyone searched and searched.
NARRATOR 2
But the beautiful maiden was nowhere to be found.
NARRATOR 3
So, the next morning, as the Prince and King waited in the royal coach, the Grand Duke and Herald knocked on every door, trying to find the foot that would fit the
glass slipper.
NARRATOR 4
They tried and tried and tried, but had no luck at all. Finally, they arrived at
Cinderella's house.
(The scene changes to CINDERELLA's cottage.)
HERALD
Announcing his Imperial Grace, the Grand Duke!
(STEPMOTHER flings open the door and pushes the GRAND DUKE and HERALD inside
the house.)
STEPMOTHER
Why welcome, welcome, welcome! I thought you'd never get here. May I present my daughters Drizella and Anastasia ...
(The STEPSISTERS enter, curtseying badly.)
ANASTASIA, DRIZELLA Your Grace.
(The GRAND DUKE and HERALD wince.)
GRAND DUKE Yes. Charmed, I'm sure. Now, shall we begin?
Herald
The Herald is a wonderful sidekick to the Grand Duke and is a good featured role. Because there are several key moments in the show that rely on the timing of the
Herald (e.g., the shoe fitting), it is recommended to cast a responsible actor in this role. No solo singing is required, but comedic timing is a must.
Gender: male
SIDE 1
HERALD
Announcing his Imperial Grace, the Grand Duke!
SIDE 2
(Stepping into regal action, the GRAND DUKE hands CINDERELLA's mop to
ANASTASIA, her bucket to DRIZELLA, and her broom to STEPMOTHER.)
GRAND DUKE You can come to the Palace when your chores are done around here.
HERALD And you can start by cleaning up that broken slipper!
Synopsis from https://www.mtishows.com/disneys-cinderella-kids
Far away, in a cottage in a small kingdom, the beautiful young girl, Cinderella,
spends long days as a servant in her own home – bowing to every whim of her cold
stepmother and cruel, jealous stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella ("The Tale of
Cinderella").
One day, the town criers invite all the young ladies of the kingdom to attend the
Royal Ball, where they can meet the dashing Prince Charming. When Cinderella
humbly inquires about the ball, her stepsisters laugh at her mockingly, but her
conniving Stepmother agrees to let her go... if she finishes an impossibly long list of
chores. Cinderella is not disheartened by all this work, for going to a ball would be a
dream come true ("A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes").
To make things harder for Cinderella, Anastasia and Drizella dump all of their dirty
laundry at her feet, adding to the list of chores. Cinderella's mice friends – including
Perla, Jaq, Luke and Gus – try to help her forget these horrid tasks by reminding her
how wonderful the ball will be ("A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes – Reprise").
When Cinderella exits to perform another of her stepsisters' chores, the mice lament
Cinderella's awful situation ("The Work Song"). To make Cinderella feel better, the
mice scurry to stitch together a lavish ball gown from scrap fabrics and accessories
that the Stepsisters have cast off ("The Work Song – Reprise").
The mice surprise Cinderella with the dress, only to have Anastasia and Drizella tear
it to shreds in a fit of jealousy. Stepmother and the Stepsisters depart for the ball,
leaving Cinderella behind in a pool of tears, with nothing left to believe in.
Magically, a Fairy Godmother appears, ready to perform a few miracles and get
Cinderella to the ball. Using a magic spell, the Fairy Godmother transforms household
items and Cinderella's furry friends into an elegant entourage ("Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo").
The Fairy Godmother reminds Cinderella that the spell only lasts until midnight, at
which point, everything will be as it was before. She then waves goodbye and sends
the enchanted coach on its way to the palace ("To the Ball").
At the Royal Ball, Prince Charming is unenthusiastic about the ladies the King
presents to him... until Cinderella enters and lights up the room. The pair dance until
midnight, when Cinderella rushes out before the spell breaks, leaving behind a single
glass slipper.
Left with only the slipper as a guide, the King orders the Grand Duke to scour the
kingdom until he can find the foot that will fit it perfectly. After a long search, the
Duke finds a perfect fit on Cinderella's foot, and she is invited back to the castle to
marry the Prince and become the new Princess ("Cinderella/Dream Finale").
The kingdom rejoices at the marriage of Cinderella and Prince Charming as the
curtain falls ("Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Bows").
