Prince Charming is holding a ball to which everyone in the village is invited, including Cinderella and her step sisters, Beryl and Cheryl.  The prince’s friend and servant, Dandini, is helping him with the invitations and the two of them are protected by Snitch and Snatch who start off as brokers to the gentry but somehow get hired as their security men.

Beryl and Cheryl are totally self-centred and, along with their mother, Devilia,  treat Cinderella like a servant.  Cinderella’s father, Baron Hardup does his best to help her but is under the thumb of Devilia, his second wife.  Fortunately Cinders has a fairy godmother to keep an eye on her and the baron’s manservant, Buttons, who will do anything for her.

The baron is short of money but has bought a racehorse, Dumpling, whom he expects to be a future champion and win him lots of money to support his extravagant wife and stepdaughters – although some have doubts about his potential.
The main cast is supported by a chorus, two spiders and two uncannily human trees.

There’s lots of fun, plenty of music and dancing  and the audience is expected to support  the “goodies” and boo the “baddies”  in true pantomime tradition.
