Synopsis
A musical retelling of perhaps the best-loved fairytale of all time.
Cinderella once had a happy life -- until her beloved father married a wicked lady with two wicked daughters. Now he's dead, and she's at the mercy of her stepfamily. They use her cruelly, forcing her to work day and night, and tend to their every whim.
Then the Prince announces he's giving a ball and will choose his bride from among the guests. Cinderella desperately wants to go... but she cannot enter the palace dressed in rags and covered in soot.
Just as she despairs of ever finding happiness, a strange guest enters the house -- a guest determined to make all of Cinderella's dreams come true.
