Cinderella and the Glass Sneaker
Welcome to The land of Make Believe. Perhaps I should tell you this fine town. There are a lot of funny-looking people in the Land of Make Believe, some people have long noses, some people have short arms but once upon a time a girl named Cinderella was the funniest.
Scene 1
Cinderella: (Cinderella enters. She has enormous1 feet. She practices a ballet dance. She is a bad dancer.) I have such enormous feet. I look like a seaplane. I will never be a dancer. I always lose at hopscotch2 (she tries to hopscotch but falls down), and I have to buy a sock for every toe (She holds up her socks). I hate my feet. (The 2 Stepsisters enter. They are dancing. They are good dancers)
Stepsister 1: HA HA… It’s
Stepsister 1&2: Cinderella BIGFOOT!
Stepsister 2: Are you still trying to be a ballet dancer like us?
Stepsister 1: With those feet you look more like a clown than a dancer.
Stepsister 1: Cinderella, bring me my coat! (Cinderella brings her coat. Her feet are so big that she trips.)
Stepsister 2: Cinderella, I am thirsty bring me some water. (Cinderella brings her water; she trips and spills the water. The two stepsisters laugh!!!) You are so clumsy3! (They exit)
Cinderella: (Crying) It’s not fair…. Why do I have to have these terrible feet? Why can’t I be beautiful and graceful4 like my stupid stepsisters!
Mother: (Enters carrying an enormous shoe) Cinderella! You left you shoe in the middle of the street. I have told you many times… You cannot go around barefoot. Your shoe nearly caused a traffic accident.
Cinderella: But Mother those shoes don’t fit my feet. They hurt! I want to wear sneakers!
Mother: Nonsense5. You are a young woman. And young women do not wear sneakers! These used to be your sister’s shoes.
Cinderella: But they are too small!
Mother: You should be happy that she gave them to you after I bought her a new pair.
Stepsister 1: (The two stepsisters rush in holding an invitation. They are excited) Whew! What is that smell?
Stepsister 2: It’s Cinderella again! (Both sisters hold their noses)
Stepsister 1: I almost forgot, the ball is today…
Stepsister2: (Interrupting) In the Kings Palace!
Stepsister 1: We will meet the prince! Have you ever seen his nose? It looks like a skyscraper6.
Stepsister 2: Well he may not be handsome.
Stepsister 1 &2: but he is rich! (They laugh together)
Cinderella: I heard that the prince can smell a pizza from a mile away.
Mother: Let me look at that. (She grabs7 the invitation) Oh my goodness8. It is today. We have a lot of work to do. Cinderella will help you get ready.
Cinderella: But, why can’t I go to the ball? I want to dance.
Mother: What with those feet? You have trouble enough walking. You might kill someone while you are dancing. It is not safe. Now girls please get ready. (Mother exits)
Stepsister 1: Hurry Cinderella… Where is my dress…?
Stepsister 2: And my dress? Bring me my shoes…!
Cinderella: Yes Yes… (She runs around while the stepsisters order her around… she has difficulty keeping her balance) It is not a difficult task. Your dresses are here!
Stepsister 1: Be careful Cinderella.
Stepsister 2: Your BIG feet are stepping on our dresses! (Cinderella dresses the 2 girls)
Mother: Now are you ready girls? Let’s go!
Stepsister 1: This is going to be so much fun!
Stepsister 2: We shall dance all night! (They exit)
Scene 2
Cinderella: (Looks depressed) Uhhhhh…. Now what should I do. I can’t dance… I can barely9 even walk. I wish my feet would disappear (She places a blanket over her feet and she starts to cry. Fairy appears)
Fairy: Why are you crying dear child? Please don’t cry!
Cinderella: I cannot go to the Prince’s ball.
Fairy: But why not? You are not that ugly. Stand up.
Cinderella: No.
Fairy: Please stand up. I want to help you. (Cinderella stands. The Fairy is shocked by her feet) Oh My God!
Cinderella: (Starts to cry again)
Fairy: Oh, Don’t cry my dear. I want to help you.
Cinderella: But I don’t have an invitation.
Fairy: Well I can solve that! Zip Zap Zoo… (She waves her magic wand and Cinderella is suddenly wearing a beautiful dress)
Cinderella: It’s beautiful… (She is very happy… she looks down at her feet and becomes upset) But what about these?
Fairy: Hmmmm… I don’t think that I have any shoes that big… wait a moment… (She waves her wand and giant sneakers appear)
Cinderella: Sneakers… made of glass! (She does a quick dance… and falls down) Oops… Now, how will I get to the ball? I don’t have a carriage.
Fairy: Of course… (She waves her wand and nothing happens. She tries again and still nothing appears) Ahhh…Take the bus. (She hands Cinderella some change)
Cinderella: Thank you fairy godmother.
Fairy: One more thing. You must be home before midnight.
Cinderella: Sure, sure, bye (They exit)
Scene 3
Stepsister 1: Who is that funny looking girl?
Stepsister 2: She looks so familiar. (She approached Cinderella) Do we know each other?
Cinderella: (Becomes very nervous. She looks away and changes her voice) Ah, no I don’t think so. Please excuse me I have to go.
Stepsister 1: What a strange girl…
Prince: (Suddenly the prince, who has been standing10 alone picking his large nose, approaches the stepsisters) Wow… what a beautiful girl. Who is she? (The sisters shrug11 their shoulders. The Prince walks to Cinderella) Hello sexy… (He smells her.) You smell great! Wanna dance?
Cinderella: I would love to!
Prince: Ouch you stepped on my foot!
Cinderella: (The prince can barely walk) Maybe we better sit down for a moment. (Just then the clock strikes 12.) Oh my… I’ve got to go!
Prince: But who are you? (The prince shouts as he rubs12 his feet. Cinderella runs away. But she leaves behind one giant glass sneaker. He picks it up and smells it) I am going to find that girl!
Scene 4
Stepsister 1: (The two girls are doing their make-up as they look in the mirror, Cinderella is painting her toenails eavesdropping13 on their conversation) Have you heard the news? Remember that strange looking girl at the ball?
Stepsister 2: Yes…
Stepsister 1: Well the prince wants to marry her, but he doesn’t know who she is.
Stepsister 2: Then how can he marry her?
Stepsister 1: Well she left her shoe behind.
Stepsister 2: So the Prince will marry whatever woman the shoe fits? (Suddenly there is a knock at the door. It is the Prince. The girls bow as they meet him. Cinderella of course falls down because of her feet.)
Prince: (He walks in the room and gives a gigantic14 sniff15.) Please ladies sit down. (He smells each of their feet before he tries to put the shoe on their foot. Cinderella watches from the corner)
Stepsister 1: It fits!
Prince: Not quite.
Stepsister 2: It’s mine!
Prince: Too big! (He puts his nose in the air and stats to smell. He sniffs16 all the way over to Cinderella’s feet)
Stepsister 1: But she wasn’t at the ball…
Stepsister 2: Yeah she wasn’t at the ball…
Prince: Please! (She slips it on)
Stepsister 1&2: It fits!
Prince: Will you marry me?
Cinderella: Only if you will marry me.
Prince: I will (He leans in a tries to give Cinderella a kiss, but his nose is too big. Finally he kisses her hand)
