Cinderella tells the classic tale of a mistreated maiden on a quest for happiness and love. With the help of her fun-loving Fairy Godmother (Sandy Spano), Cinderella (Judy Tounsi) is transformed for the ball. At the ball she dances with the charming Prince (David Kalwicz), but she must make it home before the clock strikes 12 and the magic is undone, with a glass slipper left behind, will the Prince be able to locate our young heroine and live happily ever after?

The telling of this tale has a strong emphasis on audience participation. The Fairy Godmother needs help from the audience because she is out of practice and not at all certain her magic is going to work properly.

Cinderella's slipper is tried on youngsters in the audience, who are consulted as to whether the wicked stepmother (Alison Byrne) and stepsisters (Hilde Steinberg, Emily Russoniello) should be turned into happy people.
