CINDERELLA: A kind young woman. She is mild mannered at first glance, but burns with a fiery passion for more in her life. Although Cinderella comes from sad beginnings, she continues to make the best of every situation. Her caring, good-natured personality and strong opinions are what catches the Prince’s attention.

HER FAIRY GODMOTHER: An unexpected ally for Cinderella, the Fairy Godmother is a mysterious, wise and caring mentor who delivers her advice with wit and sass. Helps Cinderella realize “it’s possible” to achieve her true potential. 

HER STEPMOTHER: Has occasional flashes of understanding, until she remembers the main purpose of her life, to marry off her horrible daughters. She is proud of her children and resents being burdened with Cinderella. There is always vile intent behind her words.

GRACE: Cinderella’s awkward stepsister - Goofy with a fatuous laugh and no intelligence whatsoever. Grace is a bundle of nerves, anxious for her mother's approval, and when she's nervous, she itches uncontrollably. Must have good comedic timing. 

JOY: Cinderella’s other stepsister - Despite her name, Joy is sour and sullen, preferring to take pleasure in the continual putting-down of Cinderella. Must have good comedic timing. 

CHRISTOPHER: A charming young prince. He is searching for his independence within his royal role. He is expected to marry for the good of the kingdom but wants it to be for true love. He hopes to understand the needs of his people.

LIONEL: The prince’s Royal Steward; and his one true ally and friend.

QUEEN CONSTANTINA: She wears the pants in her marriage and (silently) runs the kingdom. She is a vibrant, caring mother to her only child, Prince Christopher. She thinks her husband is daft, but loves him completely anyway. A very genuine person.

KING MAXIMILLIAN: A boisterous, head-slightly-filled-with-saw-dust, naive and comical king. Blissfully unaware of his wife and son’s emotions, he means well and his heart is in the right place.

CHARLES: One of Cinderella’s Animal friends who will eventually be transformed into a Coachman.

4 MICE: Cinderella’s Animal friends who will become 4 white horses.

A DOVE: Cinderella’s Animal Friend who will become a Footman 

ENSEMBLE: Villagers, Merchants, Maidens, and Palace Guests
