Cinderella – A young, kind and very beautiful person. Likeable and nice to everyone. She has a sad side that sometimes comes out as she misses her father and is put upon by her stepmother and sisters.
Buttons – Buttons is Cinderella’s best friend he is the footman to the house and works for Cinderella’s Stepmother. Buttons is everyone’s best friend. But he’s not too keen on Cinderella’s Stepmother or her two sisters. He is energetic, funny, often over the top and a little bit crazy.
The Ugly Sisters – Griselda – The bigger and stronger of the two character wise, she is smarter and more manipulative. She is posh and self-obsessed.
The Ugly Sisters –Amnesia – Amnesia is quite simply not all that bright. She is funnier and sillier than her sister. She still believes she is very beautiful and also loves herself but she definitely plays second fiddle to her sharper, snappier sister.
The Evil Stepmother – A strong upper-class lady, well-spoken and demeaned. She married Cinderella’s father after Cinderella’s mother died making her Cinderella’s Stepmother and the ugly sisters Cinderella’s stepsisters. She has no real love for Cinderella and can be cruel and unkind but never loses her temper. She is shroud and manipulative, evil to the core but hides it well.
Pippa the Cat – Pippa is the house cat, she is a great friend to Cinderella, Buttons and the audience but no one else knows that she can talk. She is a funny, loveable friend to all.
Prince Will Charming – A young handsome energetic hero. He is a friendly and likeable guy, who appreciates all he has but has a strong will of his own. “Strong willed is will” loves his family but questions the monarchy and the law that says he must marry the appropriate person and not for love.
The Prince’s Aides – The Prince has three friends who are hired by his father the King as Royal Aides to look after him. These three are basically a comedy double act, with one more, a comedy treble act. Benjamin – The sharpest of the three and self-decided leader and first hand to the prince. He is bossy, but still funny, he is kept busy keeping the other two in order.
Barny – Is the funny one, he thinks everything is a joke, knows he has a sweet job and enjoys all things in life, he is quick with a joke or to vanish off to the bookies or pub.
Sid – Is the royal trumpet barer and uses his trumpet regularly at the wrong time. He is totally chilled out and laid back, a little bit “out of it man” the whole time.
Dandini – The Royal Advisor to the King – A nice but strict old Gentleman who works as the Kings right hand man. He thus spends his time trying to guide the Prince and keep order on his aides. He is posh and well spoken, can get very flustered and overwhelmed but is generally a good heart that only wants the best for everyone.
King Philip – The king of the land, he was once a Prince and he fell in love with a Sleeping Beauty and they were wed and had one son that they called William. The King is strong and brave as he was as a prince. He does like order and rules though and is worried by his son’s often wayward thinking’s.
Queen Aurora – The Queen is of course Aurora of Sleeping Beauty fame. She is still very nice and kind and she has more understanding and sympathy for her son.
The Fairy Godmother – Elegant, beautiful, refined, just as you would imagine, well-spoken and kind. Sometimes her temper is tested by her young student, but overall she is a lady.
Glitter Knicks – (The Fairy Godmother’s Student) – The Fairy Godmother is playing a mentoring role and has a student shadowing her. Her student is not elegant and beautiful as she should be, she is young and inexperienced, a fairy in training on her last chance from the powers that be. She is funny, likeable, comedy gold ensues as she tries her very best to help her tutor and Cinderella.
The Curator – A well-spoken old gent who beautifully sets up our story and then returns at the end to finish off proceedings.
