A smart and idealistic young woman who loves to read and loves math. She is fond of dancing, loves art and music, and longs to see the world—but like all of us from time to time, she’s stuck in a bad situation and needs help.
A smart, handsome young man who is lonely. While he longs to find that “certain someone” to cherish and to share his royal life with him, he’s not terribly happy about having to find her under a deadline.
He or she may “rule their land with a gentle hand” but they are determined that their recalcitrant son WILL marry by his 21st birthday, according to the law. Looking for a character with a big personality who performs their musical number with comic aplomb. (Possible inspirations: Queen Charlotte from Bridgerton, Kevin Hart, Robin Williams, Amy Schumer, Beyonce, Judy Dench, etc.
Just adores her daughters, but Cinderella? Not so much. Stepmama considers herself beautiful, refined and cultured—a stark contrast to what others see. A actress with comedy chops and a lot of attitude!
HENRIETTA and GERTRUDE: These scene-stealers delight our audiences every year. There are minor differences between the young ladies. HENRIETTA is the oldest and “wisest,” whereas GERTRUDE is “prettier” and ditzier. Two actors with broad comic style, including some physical comedy.
A clever, energetic fairy with a sparkly wand, magical incantations, and a few unexpected tricks up her sleeve. She takes Cinderella under her wing, blending magic with a bit of motherly advice. Soprano
SUGAR and SPICE. Fairy Godmother’s assistants who help her screen potential recipients of magical aid, run errands around the kingdom, and disguise themselves as mortals when necessary. Two actors with good humor, playful nature, ability to improvise, and some ability to dance.
Assistant to Royalty who helps at the ball and trying on the slippers. Also part of the Ensemble.
Two loyal assistants who accompany the Royals and are their “backups” for a musical number.
Gossip writers who report on what goes on in court. The “reporters” of the era
Townsfolk liven up the village square, singing and swaying to a lively holiday tune. When in attendance at the Castle ballroom, they appear as proper court nobles in beautiful outfits, performing traditional ballroom dances that are fun and easy to learn: Polonaise, Waltz, Minuet, and the ever-popular Sneeze Polka.
