Characters:
Cinderella
Meet Cinderella, the sweetest soul you'll ever find, despite living with the nastiest family in the land! She's got a heart of gold and a wish for something more than just endless chores. She might be down, but she's never out – get ready to cheer for our lovely heroine as she chases her dreams!
Dandini
Meet Dandini, the Prince's long-suffering minder and the ultimate rule-follower. If it's not in the royal handbook, he's probably having a meltdown! He's constantly trying to keep Prince Orion out of trouble, which, let's be honest, is a full-time, highly stressful job. Poor Dandini – someone give him a holiday!
A Prince Orion
Here comes Prince Orion, (Oreo to his mates) the lovable royal who's determined to find his Cinderella! He's a bit of a goofball but has a heart as big as his castle. He'll stumble, he'll bumble, but he'll never stop trying to find his true love – even if it means trying on a thousand glass slippers!
Buttons
Say hello to Buttons, Cinderella's loyal friend and a lovable, if not-so-bright, chap. He secretly loves Cinderella with all his heart, even though she's completely oblivious! He's probably missing a few buttons in the brain department, but his heart is always in the right place. Give him a cheer – he needs all the encouragement he can get!
Bows
Bows is Cinderella and Buttons's sweet and observant friend. She's got a secret soft spot for the bumbling Buttons, even if he's too busy mooning over Cinderella to notice! She's kind, a little bit sassy, and always there to lend a hand (or an eye-roll at the step-sisters).
Hortense and Esmerelda - The Ugly Sisters
Prepare for double trouble with Hortense and Esmerelda! Hortense is perpetually hungry, with a bottomless pit for a stomach and a craving for all things beige and fried. Esmerelda fancies herself a style icon, but her fashion critiques are as cutting as her temper. They're loud, they're rude, and they're hilariously awful!
Angelique - The Wicked Stepmother
Prepare to boo and hiss for Angelique, Cinderella's wicked step-mother and pure panto evil! She's got a flair for the dramatic and a list of truly unusual punishments for anyone who crosses her. If she's not getting her way, expect chaos, cackles, and maybe a sudden custard pie in the face!
Pirate Percy
Beware of Pirate Percy, the grumpiest pirate to ever scowl! He despises joy, hates a good sing-along, and will chase happiness right off the stage. This master of gloom is secretly in cahoots (and in love!) with Angelique – together, they're the ultimate power couple of misery!
Villagers and Town Crier
The Villagers are the heart of our show, bringing energy and laughs as they move the story along. Keep an ear out for the Town Crier, who loves to share all the important updates (and maybe a few irrelevant ones too!). They're here to help, to gossip, and to make sure you know exactly what's going on!
The Good Fairy
Last but certainly not least, say hello to The Good Fairy! She's Cinderella's wonderful Fairy Godmother, a truly good soul who sprinkles joy wherever she goes. She's not just magical; she's also our delightful narrator, guiding us through Cinderella's incredible journey. She's got a twinkle in her eye and a happy ending up her sleeve!
Bits and Bobs - The Palace Guards
Introducing Bits and Bobs, the palace's very own security... or lack thereof! These two guards are a comedic dream, constantly getting into scrapes and mixing things up. One is a little more scatterbrained than their partner, but together they're a masterclass in unintentional slapstick. They might not be the sharpest swords in the armoury, but they're guaranteed to bring big laughs!
