Then I must leave the ball before midnight! Tonight, at the stroke of midnight, everything will go back to the way it was before. But there is one thing you must know.Īll of this lasts only to midnight. (to Fairy Godmother) But how could I go to the ball? Look at me – I’m a mess! Then let me be the one to say what is possible or not! (tosses head) Oh, fiddle faddle! Am I your Fairy Godmother, or am I not?Įxcuse me! Did I not just show up out of thin air? What do you mean? What I want is impossible. Lots of things in life aren’t fair! The question is, what can be done about it? (looks up to where Stepmother and Stepsisters existed and sighs) And if I could, I WOULD go to the ball. (runs her hands through her hair and pats her clothes) When they look at me, maybe they see a mess. Where did you get such a crazy idea? Go inside! (Cinderella backs up Stepmother turns to Stepsisters and speaks in a soft voice) My dears, are we ready? (in a sharp voice) You are NOT going to this ball, or ANY ball, EVER. We’re going to the BALL! (Stepsisters jump up and down in glee) (looks offstage) The carriage is almost here! You two look very nice, if I do say so myself. (to King) You just can’t please these kids. If it doesn’t work out, the palace is a big place. That’s the idea, isn’t it? (shrugs) Worst case, no worries. What if I’m not so lucky? Whoever I choose, I’ll be married to my whole life! (patting her hand lovingly) We did indeed. (reaches out to King and places her hand on his arm) WE knew right away, didn’t we, dear? But how can I tell a woman is right for me by just looking at her? It’s impossible! Mother, Father, I know that’s why we’re having the ball.

(to Queen) Doesn’t he realize how many princes would give their right arm to be able to pick a bride from a ballroom full of beautiful young ladies? I can’t believe how you’re carrying on, son. (to audience) Could things get any worse? (hisses) There is no change to your regular chores. You will sew these in time for the ball and they better be in the latest fashion. (with nose in the air) We will need three fabulous gowns. (to Cinderella) I said “MY girls”! – not YOU! (encircles her arm around STEPSISTERS and speaks to them in a sweet voice) Make no mistake, dears, this is your big chance! (whispers to audience) Every eligible young woman? So get this! The Prince is having a ball!Įvery eligible young lady in the kingdom is invited. What could be so urgent? (flips her hair, then notices Cinderella) Cinderella! Who asked you to stare at us like a stuck pig? You’d think you didn’t have enough work to do! I can’t believe this – you’re making me wait! (starts scrubbing again) I know, I know, Stepmother! (from off-stage) Cinderella! What ARE you doing? (stops scrubbing and looks up to audience) Can’t imagine what that’s all about. (goes over to the window closest to the table and calls through it as if to someone outside) Wait a minute, what did you say? Hold on! I’ll be right there. (kneels and starts scrubbing again then speaks again to audience) This is my life. (from off-stage) Cinderella! You’d better still be scrubbing! I don’t want to see any missed spots.

So you can see I’m pretty much stuck here the way things are. Soon after that, my father passed away too. His new wife, my Stepmother, moved in with her own two daughters. Why am I scrubbing the floor and doing all the hard work around here when my two sisters just sit around like that all day? (points to STEPSISTERS)
