Detailed Plot:
After The Fairy Godmother introduces us to the story (ONCE UPON A TIME), we meet Cinderella, her two sillier-than-ugly stepsisters, Tibia and Fibula, and her stepmother. They are constantly teasing Cinderella and making her do all the chores. The Fairy Godmother returns and tells us that she is looking for someone to help. The audience tells her about Cinderella. Meanwhile, the Prince is going door to door distributing invitations to the Royal Ball (I NEED TO FIND SOMEONE SPECIAL). As her stepsisters and stepmother prepare for the ball, Cinderella laments not being able to go (I NEED TO BE SOMEONE SPECIAL). After the trio leaves for the party (STEPPIN’ OUT), Cinderella is paid a visit by her Fairy Godmother (CINDERELLA CHANT) who convinces her that she can indeed go to the Ball. After she’s all dressed and ready to go in her enchanted carriage, the Fairy Godmother warns her to be home before midnight. Meanwhile at the Ball, the Stepsisters and Stepmother are annoying the Queen and her son, the Prince. He is more than ready for Cinderella’s entrance. The Prince and Cinderella cant’ take their eyes off each other and enjoy a wonderful time together (BALLROOM DANCING). Suddenly, the clock strikes twelve and Cinderella rushes off leaving her slipper behind. The Prince again goes door to door looking for his new-found love. He visits Cinderella’s home and, after trying the shoe on the Stepsisters and Stepmother, discovers Cinderella’s foot fits the slipper perfectly (SOMEONE SPECIAL). The Fairy Godmother returns, announcing that she is off to help another find a “happily-ever-after” ending. (ONCE UPON A TIME - FINALE)
