Short synopsis

Was there ever a more downtrodden girl than poor, sweet Cinderella? Ever since her new stepsisters Hoity and Toity careered off the good ship Turnturtle, Cinderella has been waiting on them hand, foot and feather duster. It’s a good thing she has her loyal friend Buttons to tell a few jokes and Thingummy the cat to keep her company. But magical things do happen – even in pantomimes. Cinderella meets a charming young man after the forest picnic and he falls for her hook, line and jewel studded sceptre. He is, you see, a Prince! Didn’t expect that did you?

In the quest to find the beautiful girl in the woods, our hero asks his loyal companion, Mr Dini, Dan to his friends, to invite everyone to a Ball. If only Cinders had some decent shoes and nice frock she could go too. But she hasn’t, that is until… you’ll never believe this… a Fairy stumbles into her kitchen. Fairy G arrives waving her wand about to try and get a decent signal. To be honest Fairy G has her share of technical troubles but it turns out that she really does know how to turn a pumpkin into a horse drawn coach, complete with footman and added sparkle!

Cinderella is transformed into a real party girl in a few mere flashes of special effects – now that’s magic! Then she’s off to the ball to party with the man of her dreams. Just as well really, as Hoity and Toity are there making a mess of everyone’s evening. So they all lived happily… oh no, the clock strikes twelve and Cinderella disappears, leaving behind only one clue, you’ll never guess what! Oh you did.

So the hunt is on to find the foot to fit the shoe, in the hope that the Prince’s dream girl, is not far behind it. For the local people it’s like doing the lottery. They all turn up, feet washed and powdered. Some, Hoity and Toity to name two, resort to unethical practices to win the prize. But good will triumph over evil. Thingummy comes to the rescue to help release Cinderella and at last she is reunited with her Prince. And they all live happily…oh no wait. Someone else has arrived! 

You will have to read the script to find out the final twist in this hilarious tale.

Frequently asked questions

Can we try before we buy?

Of course! All our plays and pantomimes have a free Preview Script available for download as an A4 pdf file that contains 60-75% of the full script. If you like what you read then you can buy an inexpensive e-script of the entire play (typically less than half the cost of a traditional printed script) which is licensed to you for your personal use. Purchasing a script copying licence allows you to make just enough copies to support rehearsals and performances.

All our musicals are included in our perusal service. Through this, representatives of producing organisations can request a USB Stick of perusal material  which comprise the script/libretto and piano/vocal score as PDF files; a Cast (or Studio) Recording as MP3 files and (where available) an MP4 file video of either the premiere production or of a subsequent production.

Some titles have the facility to read the entire script online on our website.

Do we need a Licence To Perform?

The simple answer is, yes.

Under the international laws of copyright, you must be in possession of a valid, unexpired licence before performing any piece of theatre unless the owner or managers of the copyright has waived their rights.

Why do you insist on providing a formal royalties quotation?

When you request a quotation, it is logged in our system, it forms part of an orderly queue and protects your place in that queue should multiple licensing requests occur for the same show.
