Synopsis (from www.rnh.com)
The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers
& Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. Originally
presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers &
Hammerstein's CINDERELLA was the most widely viewed program in the history
of the medium. Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less
successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of
dreams-come-true, and so was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy
as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. As adapted for the
stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, the hearts of
children and adults alike still soar when the slipper fits.

Character Descriptions:

CINDERELLA (Female, about 18-25) A very meek and obedient Cinderella, with
never a moment's complaining, but an enormous talent for wishing hard for
'impossible things to happen'.

STEPMOTHER (Female, 40+) Just as we should expect, but with occasional
flashes of understanding, until she remembers the main purpose of her life -
to marry off her horrible daughters.

JOY (Female or Male, about 18-25) A sourpuss with little intelligence.

PORTIA (Female or Male, about 18-25) Goofy with a fatuous laugh and no
intelligence whatsoever.

GODMOTHER (Female, any age) A most original creation: extremely pragmatic
and no-nonsense, she is capable of being swept away by Cinderella's
wishing-power, and is always there at the right moment.

THE KING (Male, 40+) A hard-up grouch who at least has the grace to wish his
son as happy in marriage as he is.

THE QUEEN (Female, 40+) Quite serious and domineering, but affectionate to
her fuddy-duddy husband

THE PRINCE (Male, about 18-30) Everybody's ideal Prince Charming.

Other roles include: HERALD, CHEF, STEWARD, COACHMAN, FOOTMAN, GUARDS,
MINISTER, BALL GUESTS, TOWNSPEOPLE and several CHILDREN (Ages 10+ encouraged
to audition)
