>>>> 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)
