Shoemaker Hear Ye, Hear Ye - All subjects (motions behind the curtain) that’s them, and all visitors (motions toward the audience) that’s you - of the royal land of make believe

Edward The king, with the help of his chief advisor, yours truly, has issued a decree. (handing the scrolls out to the dukes) Hee-hee….well, make that several decrees.

Footman (opening his scroll upside down) This makes no sense. (Edward turns it right side up).

Oh, my bad.Cobbler The 10 Commandments of the Evening, if you will.Shiner These are indeed commandments, not suggestions.

(A trumpet, or other SFX will play before each of the commandments)

Edward: Commandment #1: Herald: Thou shalt set all cell phones, PDAs, beepers, watches, and magic wands to silent or

vibrate.Edward: Commandment #2Town Crier: Thou shalt refrain from the taking of flash photos during the show. Luke (butting in) But we will be available on stage after the show for photographs and

autographs (thumbs up - wink)Edward (shoving Luke back in his place) SOME of us will be available after the show. OTHERS

of us (giving LUKE a look) may be unemployed. Commandment #3Bo Thou shalt take this time to open all crinkly candy wrappers, as demonstrated here (he

crinkles a loud piece of cellophane) so as not to disturb your neighbor during the show. (he crinkles the wrapper again – EDWARD takes it away from him)

Edward Moving on. Commandment #4.Shoemaker Thou shalt, and I quote “hold it until intermission” at which point you may feel free to use

the restrooms located in the lobby.Footman (very fast, yet clear) Commanment #4 – Addendum – Subparagraph B – If the

afformentioned parties part of Commandment #4 are unable to fulfill their obligations of quote “holding it until intermission” the party of the first part shall exit and enter the auditorium only during applause or in between scenes.

Edward Which brings us to Commandment #5Cobler All guests and visitors to the land of make believe are required to applaud following all

musical numbers and outstanding scenes. Should said guests and visitors find something even remotely funny, they shall laugh at all possible occasions.

Edward (to cobbler) Subtle…very subtle. (to shiner) Commandment #6Shiner There will be a brief intermission following Act I. All subjects are invited to purchase

snacks and drinks in the lobby – which will be permitted back in the theatre for Act II.Edward Commandment #7Herald Anyone caught trying to sneak out during intermission in an attempt to NOT stay for Act

II shall be sentenced to 20 years of Royal Housekeeping – OUThouse keeping, that is.Edward And the most important commandmentCrier Everyone shall take this time tonight…Luke to set aside the worries of the real world…Bo and come with us to the world of make-believe.

(all dukes freeze – striking a funny pose)Edward So now ladies and gentlemen…close your eyes. When I clap my hands, you will see a

transformation happen right before your very eyes. Come with us now…to the world of make-believe. (clap)

Cind-PP-3

(During EDWARDS instructions, the dukes have turned around backwards – in their exact same poses)

Song: It’s a world of make believe (Edward, Dukes)

Edward IT’S A WORLD OF MAKE BELIEVE, WHERE WISHES CAN COME TRUEWHERE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN DREAM CAN HAPPEN TO YOUIT’S A WORLD OF MAKE BELIEVE, A PLACE NOT FAR AWAYJUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND MAKE A WISH AND YOU’LL BE THERE TODAY

Song: The Tale of Cinderella (Full Cast)

All CINDERELLA, CINDERELLA – IT’S THE TALE OF CINDERELLA.SHE’S A VERY PRETTY MAIDEN – AND EVERYBODY LOVES HEREXCEPT OF COURSE HER SISTERS – THEY’RE VERY, VERY JEALOUS. THEY TREAT HER LIKE A MAID, THEY MAKE HER DO THE LAUNDRY TOO – BUT WE’LL SEE DREAMS INDEED COME TRUE FOR CINDERELLA.

Cind-PP-4

Pandora Once upon a time in a faraway land, there was a tiny kingdom.

Joy And in this kingdom lived a beautiful young girl named Cinderella.

Endora Cinderella had an evil stepmother, and two evil stepsisters named Anastasia and Drizella.

Portia Cold, cruel, and jealous, they made Cinderella a servant in her own house!

Pandora And yet, through it all, Cinderella never stopped hoping that someday her dreams of happiness would come true.

ALL CINDERELLA, CINDERELLA, HEAR THE TALE OF CINDERELLA. THERE’LL BE MAGIC AND SURPRISES, AND DANCING AND ADVENTURE.AND DON’T FORGET PRINCE CHARMING, WHO’S VERY, VERY HANDSOME.WE’LL LEARN THAT LOVE WILL TRIUMPH AND WHAT MAGIC WANDS CAN DO, AND WE’LL SEE DREAMS INDEED COME TRUE FOR CINDERELLA.

Anastasia Cinderella…….. (1/2 of the cast covers their ears and runs off stage)Drizella Cinderella……. (next 1/2 does the same)Stepmother Cinderella……. (Cinderella is left on stage alone)Cinderella I’m coming, I’m coming! (song ends – Cinderella runs off stage to attend to her chores)

Music: “Disney Town Crier Fanfare 1” or “G2K Scene 3 Change”

Herald Hear ye, hear ye! All subjects of the kingdom

Crier By royal proclamation, the King declares a royal ball.

Luke All unmarried young ladies of the kingdom are invited to attend and meet Prince Charming!

Bo And that means all the young ladies!

(The dukes exit. Cinderella, Stepmother, StepFriends enter. Music Fades)

Stepmother (Calling offstage back over her shoulder.) Cinderella, come along!

(CINDERELLA follows them on, nearly hidden behind the stack of packages she carries. Downstage left is a fireplace. A small chair, a broom and fire irons stand next to the hearth. Center stage is a dining table and four chairs.)

Stepmother Cinderella, close the door.

(Cinderella sets the packages down on the floor and closes the door.)

Drizella (approaching the table.) Cinderella, my chair.

(Cinderella pulls out the stage left chair at the table and Drizella sits.)

Cind-PP-5

Stepmother Cinderella, my chair. (Cinderella pulls out the upstage chair and the stepmother sits.)

Anastasia What about my chair, Cinderella?!

(Cinderella pulls out the stage right chair and Anastasia sits.)

Drizella Cinderella, it's freezing!

Stepmother Poke the fire, Cinderella.

(Cinderella goes to the fireplace, takes an iron and pokes the fire.)

Anastasia Really, Cinderella!

Drizella Cinderella, really!

Stepmother Now, girls, I want to talk to you.

(Cinderella moves to sit in the downstage chair at the table.)

Well, not you - i want to talk to my own daughters.

(Cinderella goes meekly to her corner by the fireplace and sits in her little chair. The stepfriends retreat away as well).

Stepmother (to the Stepfriends) Oh, you girls can stay too.

Portia That girl always wants to sit down. Joy No wonder she never gets anything done. Endora It’s a wonder you even call here “sister”.Anastasia STEP-sisterPandora Well, if I were you, I’d cut her allowance in half.Portia And cut her hair, while you were at it.Joy Gosh, just look at her.Endora She should just stay over there by herself.Pandora Who would want to be friends with her anyways?

Stepmother Now, ladies... All girls Yes, ma'am? Stepmother Anastasia? Anastasia Yes, Ma’am?Stepmother Drizella?Drizella Yes, ma'am? Stepmother As you all well know, my little moppets, this ball that the prince is giving is for one

purpose only.

Anastasia & Drizella To choose a bride.

Stepfriends (sigh)

Cind-PP-6

Stepmother Exactly. And every girl in the kingdom wants to marry the prince. Anastasia Especially me.Drizella (clearing throat) Especially ME!

Stepmother On our shopping tour today i bought you the most beautiful clothes with all the frills and froufrou my purse could afford.

(her voice hardens.)

So whether or not you marry the prince, you'll both have to marry somebody this year.

Anastasia &Drizella (snapping into frightened obedience.)

Yes, ma'am.

Stepmother (her voice softening again.) So now let's all go and get our beauty sleep. I'm exhausted from all that shopping. Cinderella, help me with my packages.

(Stepmother and Cinderella exit)

Portia Well, I tell you what – I don’t need any beauty sleep.Joy Me either. This beauty comes naturally.Endora I know what you mean. Its quite a responsibility, looking as good as we do.Pandora The Prince will never be able to choose between the 6 of us.

(they all laugh)

Anastasia Come on girlsDrizella Let’s look at all the things we bought today.

Song: I’m Lovely (Stepsisters & Stepfriends)

Anastasia I’m so lovely

All Oh Prince Charming…Where are you?

Drizella I’m so lovely…almost breath taking.

Drizella I’M LOVELY, SO LOVELY – JUST FEAST YOUR EYES ON MEI’M THE MOST ADORABLE CREATURE THAT YOU WILL EVER SEE

Anastasia I’M LOVELY, SO LOVELY – I TAKE MY BREATH AWAYAND I DON’T MIND SAYING I’M LOVELY – THROUGHOUT THE LIVE-LONG DAY

Portia & Joy I’M LOVELY, SO LOVELY – THE MIRROR NEVER LIESI’M THE PICTURE OF PERFECTION – A PLEASURE TO THE EYES

Endora &Pandora I’M LOVELY, SO LOVELY – JUST TAKE A LOOK AT ME

(The girls exit – leaving packages everywhere. Stepmother and Cinderella enter. Stepmother is wearing a funny nightshirt and long nightcap)

Stepmother Cinderella, clean up those packages.

Cinderella Yes, stepmother

Stepmother And then put the kettle on for my tea.

Cinderella Yes, Ma’am.Stepmother, can I go to the ball too?

Stepmother Don’t be ridiculous. You have nothing to wear.

Cinderella But Stepmother, if the Prince is as amazing as they say he is, he won’t care what kind of dress I’m wearing. I’ve always dreamed of one day meeting the most wonderful prince – a prince who would be more concerned with the love in my heart – than with my outward appearance.

Stepmother And that’s exactly what it is Cinderella…a dream.

Song: Fol-De-Rol (Stepmother)

Stepmother FOL-DE-ROL AND FIDDLE-DEE-DEEFIDDL-DEE, FADDLE-DEE, FODDLEALL THE WISHES IN THE WORLD ARE POPPYCOCK AND TWADDLE

Cinderella I don’t care what you say. I’m going to hold on to my dream.

Cind-PP-8

Stepmother I JUST KNEW I WOULD FIND YOU IN THAT SAME LITTLE CHAIRIN THAT PALE PINK MIST OF A FOOLISH DREAM

Cinderella Foolish? What’s wrong with dreaming.

Stepmother FOL-DE-ROL AND FIDDLE-DEE-DEEFIDDL-DEE, FADDLE-DEE, FOODLEALL THE DREAMERS IN THE WORLD ARE DIZZY IN THE NOODLE

Stepmother Maybe dreams can come true, Cinderella. If you finish your list of chores, you can go to the ball.

Cinderella Oh, really, stepmother?

Stepmother Really! (she hands Cinderella a mile-long list of chores)Goodnight. (she exits)

Song: In My Own Little Corner (Cinderella)

Cinderella Oh, I love this room – when they’ve all gone out and there’s nobody here but me.

I'M AS MILD AND AS MEEK AS A MOUSE, WHEN I HEAR A COMMAND, I OBEY.BUT I KNOW OF A SPOT IN MY HOUSE WHERE NO ONE CAN STAND IN MY WAY.

(She leans the broom against the fireplace and sits in her chair.)

IN MY OWN LITTLE CORNER IN MY OWN LITTLE CHAIR, I CAN BE WHATEVER I WANT TO BE. ON THE WING OF MY FANCY I CAN FLY ANYWHERE AND THE WORLD WILL OPEN IT'S ARMS TO ME.

(She rises and begins acting out her fantasy.)

I'M A YOUNG NORWEGIAN PRINCESS OR A MILKMAID, I'M THE GREATEST PRIMA DONNA IN MILAN. I'M AN HEIRESS WHO HAS ALWAYS HAD HER SILK MADE BY HER OWN FLOCK OF SILKWORMS IN JAPAN.

I'M A GIRL MEN GO MAD FOR, LOVE'S A GAME I CAN PLAY WITH A COOL AND CONFIDANT KIND OF AIR, JUST AS LONG AS I STAY IN MY OWN LITTLE CORNER, ALL ALONE IN MY OWN LITTLE CHAIR. (She dances around a bit.)

I CAN BE WHATEVER I WANT TO BE. I'M A SLAVE IN CALCUTTA, I'M A QUEEN IN PERU, I'M A MERMAID DANCING UPON THE SEA. I'M A HUNTRESS ON AN AFRICAN SAFARI. IT'S A DANGEROUS TYPE OF SPORT AND YET IT'S FUN! IN THE NIGHT I SALLY FORTH TO SEEK MY QUARRY AND I FIND I FORGOT TO BRING MY GUN!

Cind-PP-9

I AM LOST IN THE JUNGLE, ALL ALONE AND UNARMED, WHEN I MEET A LIONESS IN HER LAIR!

(She surries back to the chair.)

THEN I'M GLAD TO BE BACK IN MY OWN LITTLE CORNER, ALL ALONE IN MY OWN LITTLE CHAIR.

(The lights fade out; applause segue into:)

(She sits on her stool by the fireplace, picks up the mirror and looks at herself She tries to wipe off ash stains from her face.)

Cinderella No wonder everyone treats me like they do. Look at me! I'm nothing more than a cinder girl. I'm so ugly.

Harmonia (Enters from inside the fireplace.) UGLY? Ugly is such an ugly word! Cinderella (jumping up) Who ... who are you? Harmonia I, Cinderella, am Harmonia Merryweather, your fairy godmother.

Drizella And just exactly who is this “Harmonia”?

Cinderella (half to her friends as well) Oh, she’s my fairy godmother. But nevermind that. She was standing here and then I went out to pick a pumpkin and when I returned, this dress was just here – waiting for me.

(her friends react with awe)

Anastasia Well, nice dress – but YOU Cinderella are a complete mess.

Drizella Just look at you – filthy dirty. And you aren’t even finished with your chores.

Anastasia Too bad, Cinderella. You almost had a chance to come to the ball, but you ruined it.

(Cinderella begins to cry, Her friends gather around her to console her. Her tears build more and more until she runs offstage crying. Her friends accompany her.)

Drizella (calling off to Cinderella) The carriage can’t wait, Cinderella.

(The stage clears, leaving only the king and queen. The king is pre-occupied, eating cupcakes or other dessert)

QUEEN A fine father you are! KING What do you mean, (Imitating her.) "A fine father you are"? QUEEN I mean you never worry about him. KING Why should I. .. worry about him? QUEEN Because he isn't happy! KING Oh, he's happy all right. QUEEN (As if this clinches the argument.) If he's happy, why doesn't he get married? KING If he's happy, why should he get married? QUEEN Look at your pants! KING How could I have gained so much weight in five years? QUEEN Because that's all you've done for five years - gained weight! You haven't worn a court

costume because we haven't given a ball for five years. The royal tailor will have to make you another suit.

KING That'll cost money.

(music playoff, as all exit. Prince & Edward enter)

Prince Edward, I am not going to the ball and that is final! Edward I agree that your parents sometimes treat you like you're a little boy. Prince I'm still not going. Edward I agree that your parents should have talked to you about the ball. Prince Don't try to change my mind. Edward All I'm asking is that you think about the young ladies. They will be so disappointed. Prince They'll get over it! Edward And the only reason they would even go to a ball is ... Prince Let me guess ... to get dressed up? Edward That, (pausing) and to dance with you. Prince Now, that is exactly the reason I am not going!!! Edward You'll only have to dance with a few. Prince And how many is a few? Edward (mumbling) Prince What was that? Edward (mumbling again) Prince Edward, quit mumbling and tell me. Edward Two hundred.

Prince (He starts laughing.) Edward, you are so funny. I thought I just heard you say "two hundred."

Edward I did, sire. Maybe a little less. Prince Or maybe a little more! Why, I ...

Edward Well, if you’re not going to the ball. I guess we'd better go and tell your parents that you will not be there. (He starts to leave. Prince is hesitant. King and Queen enter)

Edward Ah, your majesties. We were just on our way to find you.QUEEN Ah, Albert, my dear! Did you sleep well? PRINCE Mother, I ... KING You know, son, you are not setting a very good example by sleeping in so late. PRINCE Father, I ... QUEEN Albert, tuck in your shirt and look presentable when you speak to your father. PRINCE Mother ... KING Albert! Don't speak to your mother in that tone of voice. PRINCE Father ... QUEEN Albert! Don't talk to your father that way. PRINCE Mother, I ...

KING (to Queen) I knew we should have sent him away to military school. But noooooooo! You had to have your way.

Cind-PP-22

QUEEN My way? If it had been left up to you, little Albert would have ... PRINCE STOP! (pause) Can't you stop talking for one minute? QUEEN Albert? (sympathetically) Albert, what is wrong? PRINCE Everything! KING How can that be? Do we not feed you? PRINCE Yes, Father. KING Do we not clothe you? PRINCE Yes, Father. KING Is there not a roof over your head? PRINCE Yes, Father. KING Then, what is the PROBLEM? PRINCE You treat me like a little kid. QUEEN (looking shocked) We what? PRINCE You treat me like I'm five years old. QUEEN That is not true, Albert.

PRINCE Yes, it is, Mother! You tell me when to get up, how to dress, and what to eat. And now, you're even giving a ball for my nineteenth birthday and I just told you last week that I wanted a small birthday party.

KING But, we thought this would make you happy. PRINCE Well, it doesn't! QUEEN We want you to be happy. PRINCE I am happy!

KING WHAT? Albert, you are not making sense. First you tell us that you're unhappy and then in the next sentence you tell us that you're happy. (to Queen Philomena) This generation is making me crazy.

QUEEN Albert, darling, what was it that you wanted to tell us? PRINCE Never mind! You just wouldn't understand. (He storms offstage)

Song: This Generation (King, Queen, Edward)

KING Albert is right about one thing, I'll never understand this generation.

King You go and finish preparing for the ball, my love. I’m going to take a little walk and get some fresh air. Edward, will you please check on Albert and see if he would care to join me for a walk?

Edward Yes, your majesty

(He beings to exit. Queen follows after him..)

Queen Good idea. Then Edward, I need you to double check with the kitchen staff. I’m still not convinced that we have enough food for our guests…

Edward Yes, your majesty.

(Queen and Edward exit. King paces a bit, figuring out what he’s going to say to Prince. Prince enters)

PRINCE Hello, father.

KING Oh, hello, my boy. (Crossing to him.) Albert, how are you feeling?

PRINCE Fine, father. KING Are you getting enough sleep, son? You seem a bit edgy, lately.PRINCE It seems to me, sir, that you look a little tired. KING (Grouchily, crossing downstage.) I am tired, when I think of that darn ball.

(The QUEEN re-enters upstage left, unseen by the KING and PRINCE. Hearing the words about the ball, she steps back to eavesdrop on their conversation.)

PRINCE (Crossing downstage to the KING.) Oh, that. Well, to tell you the truth, sir, it isn't a night I'm looking forward to. Dancing with all those .... candidates.

KING Candidates?

Cind-PP-24

PRINCE Every simpering girl in the Kingdom, each one determined to show that she would be the perfect princess for me.

KING Yes, I know how you feel, my boy. But your mother's got her heart set on this affair. PRINCE I know. KING So it's best not to let her know how we feel. It would break her heart.

(The QUEEN crosses into the room.)

QUEEN (As if surprised to see the PRINCE.) Oh - hello, my dear. PRINCE Mother. I was just saying how much I'm looking forward to the ball. It sounds wonderful. QUEEN (Smiling) Does it? PRINCE Yes. I was wondering if I could help with any of the preparations. QUEEN (Pretending to be taken in by these fumbling men.) Well, yes, dear. Maybe you can.

(There is a very awkward silence as she looks from one to the other, and neither knows what more to say about it, or how to carry the lie on any further.)

PRINCE Well ... see you later.

(He turns and on his way out of the room, stops to kiss his MOTHER on both cheeks. Then, he waves airily to his FATHER and exits upstage left. The QUEEN, not offended by their deceit, but touched by it, takes a hanky from her sleeve and dabs her nose.)

KING Getting a cold?

(The QUEEN shakes her head “yes”.)

Better take something for it. (She nods.)

Don't want to have a red nose at the ball.

QUEEN I'll be over it by then. (She takes his arm and they exit.)

Music: Underscore

(The stepsisters begin to choke each other. The stepfriends join in the cat-fight. Stepmother tries to break it up. Music Cue – Town Crier Fanfare 2. Heralds approach, trying to avoid the fight. One raises a trumpet.)

(The PRINCE steps back and rolls his eyes. The stepsisters knock him to the ground with their klutzy courtsies. Some dukes shove the stepsisters out of the way, while other dukes help the PRINCE up.)

King Don’t worry, song. You’ll find a girl tonight!Prince Don’t count on it. I don’t even like to dance.

Music Cue: Cinderella’s Entrance (part 1)

Edward Citizens and subjects of King Rupert and Queen Philomena, gather round and listen to what I have to say. Last night a glass slipper was found on the palace steps.

(He holds up the glass slipper.)

Townsfolk: (ad lib) How beautiful! ... It sure is pretty! ... Where can I get a pair? ... etc.

Edward: According to the palace guards, it was lost by the same nameless young lady who left the ball at the stroke of midnight.

Townsfolk: (ad lib) I remember her .... She wore that long white gown .... etc.

Edward: His Royal Highness, Prince Albert has ordered me out to find this young lady. He has stated that the foot that fits this glass slipper will also be the one that he will marry.

DUKE: You mean, he's just going to marry her foot? DUKE: I think he'll get a kick out of that! (The townspeople laugh.)

Edward: (indignantly) No, I mean that the Prince will marry the girl attached to the foot that fits the slipper. Now, any young lady who thinks her foot will fit, please step forward. (All the girls step forward.) Please, ladies. Please! PLEASE! One at a time. Everyone will get a chance.
