“Unhappy with the tea, Stepmother? Yes, of course. And that’s why I’m so thankful for… Mr. Cecil. I’m curious– do you really need that cane? Oh. Would you like to come in? Makes my skin crawl. Ew. Yeah, no, I am not a match for Thomas. Yes. I understand, stepmother.” — Ella
” ♪ Here I go again ♪ I’m imagining a world outside ♪ Unlike the one I’m in ♪ Daydreaming again ♪ Of when I’ll get a chance ♪ There’s a world that understands ♪ Where you don’t hear the whispers ♪ In the room you’re walking in ♪ Daydreaming again ♪ All I need is a chance ♪ When I feel my fear staring at me ♪ I tell it just wait and see, I know who I’m gonna be ♪ I know who I’m gonna be ♪ The world’s half asleep, it’s gonna wake up and see ♪ If it’s a million to one ♪ I’m gonna be that one ♪ And if it’s a shot in the dark ♪ I’m gonna be the sun ♪ And I just can’t afford to be wrong ♪ Even when I’m afraid ♪ You’re gonna know my name ♪ Yeah, you’re gonna know my name ♪ Mmm ♪ I can barely sleep ♪ ‘Cause my heart is always racing ♪ Chasing, pacing round the room ♪ Living carefully ♪ Is something I don’t wanna do ♪ When I feel my fear staring at me ♪ I tell it just wait and see, I know ho I’m gonna be ♪ I know who I’m gonna be ♪ The world’s half asleep ♪ It’s gonna wake up and see ♪ If it’s a million to one ♪ I’m gonna be that one ♪ And if it’s a shot in the dark ♪ I’m gonna be the sun ♪ And I just can’t afford ♪ To be wrong ♪ Even when I’m afraid ♪ You’re gonna know my name ♪ Yeah, you’re gonna know my name ♪ And I can see her now and then ♪ The one I know that I could be ♪ Yeah ♪ I see her laughin’ ♪ ‘Cause she knew all along in her head ♪ So when the light is hard to see ♪ If it’s a million to one ♪ I’m gonna be that one ♪ And if it’s a shot in the dark ♪ I’m gonna be the sun, and I ♪ I just can’t afford ♪ To be wrong ♪ No, no, no, no, no, no, no ♪ Even when I’m afraid ♪ Not even when I’m afraid ♪ You’re gonna know my name ♪ Oh ♪ You’re gonna know name ♪ You’re gonna know my name, yeah ♪ You’re gonna know my name ♪ You’re gonna know my name. ♪ ” — Ella
“You called? I’m sorry, I-I was just… yeah? I think you look so pretty. But… honestly, who cares what I think? Who cares what anyone thinks? What matters is how you feel when you look in the mirror. Cool. It’s a dress. I made it. I don’t know. I-I just thought, since the whole kingdom will be there today, I could find someone who will maybe buy it. Yes, stepmother.” — Ella
“Oh, good. Everyone’s staring at me, just as I’d hoped. I’m sorry, Your Highness! It’s just really hard to see in the back. Might I suggest you put some bleachers back there? Give us short peasants a chance? ‘I hereby decree all short peasants shall be pardoned by the king.’ He doesn’t– he didn’t think that was funny, did he? Oop, bird poo. Excuse me, sorry.” — Ella
“Look at that. Wow. You know, it’s a good thing. Stepmother never comes down here. She does not approve of pets. Or charity. Or kindness of any sort, really. And she’d definitely stop you from doing whatever it is you’re doing right now, which is beautiful. And only a little bit gross.”
“All right. Wish me luck. Because life outside this basement… …starts right now.”
Prince Robert
“You know, I really just don’t have the time in my schedule to be controlling these far-off lands. I am just too busy. That was a lot of hard work. Now, you try tracking a fox when drunk. It’s impossible. You didn’t. Wilbur. Your offer is intriguing, but I have no intention on settling down anytime soon.”
“I would have to have grandmother’s ring resized. So we good? ‘Cause I got a thing. ‘The Roundabout Players present The King’s Idiot Son.’ Ooh, do you think we can still get tickets? I think you’re overreacting. You can’t leave actors alone in a basement without attention. You can’t control me. But I feel nothing for these women. It’s crazy to think I’m actually gonna fall in love with one of them. Oh, well, it’s perfect then that mother came with three castles and a hundred horses, or I suppose I never would’ve been born! Father, you know how badly I want to be king. No. No, no, no. D-Dancing at these things is so… mannered. And formal. We look like fools! This is insane! I can’t just pick some bride at a ball. And then what? We’re-we’re supposed to grow old together? Into our 40s? I mean, what are we even gonna talk about? ‘Don’t be late.’ Well? You heard the king.”
” ♪ Can anybody ♪ Find me ♪ Somebody to ♪ Each morning I get up, I die a little ♪ Can barely stand on my feet ♪ Take a look at yourself ♪ Take a look in the mirror and cry ♪ Lord what you’re doing to me ♪ I have spent all my years ♪ In believing you ♪ But I just can’t get no relief ♪ Lord ♪ Somebody, somebody ♪ Can anybody find me ♪ Somebody to love? ♪ I work hard ♪ Every day of my life ♪ I work till I ache in my bones ♪ But at the end of the day ♪ I’m all on my own ♪ I get down on my knees ♪ And I start to pray ♪ Till the tears run down from my eyes, Lord ♪ Somebody, somebody ♪ Can anybody find me ♪ Somebody to love? ♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪ I work hard ♪ Every day of my life ♪ I try and I try and I try ♪ But everybody wants to put me down ♪ They say I’m going crazy ♪ They say I got a lot of water in my brain ♪ I got no common sense ♪ I got nobody left to believe ♪ Find me ♪ Somebody to love ♪ Find me ♪ Oh ♪ Oh ♪ Oh ♪ Oh ♪ Somebody, somebody ♪ Anyone ♪ Anybody ♪ Can anybody find me ♪ Somebody to… ♪ To love ♪ “
“I’ll play your silly game, but only if every girl in the kingdom is invited to the ball, regardless of wealth or stature. Father, please. Deep down, you need me to be king. What a black mark it’ll be on your name if I don’t continue the line. So, what option do you really have? It works, Wilbur. Nobody recognizes me. What? The-the makeup? Wilbur, you sound old. Just what? She’s-she’s beautiful. She’s witty. She’s fearless. I mean, holy hell, did you see the way she talked to my father? And glorious. I must know her. So, yes, I’m gonna walk the streets until I find her, reveal my true self, and then personally invite her to the ball. Unless, of course, it turns out that she’s got a couple bats in the old belfry, in which case, I will realize that my feelings were incorrect and… slowly back away. I do not have a single bat in my belfry. I am the prince, and I say that your belfry is the one with the bats. I have lots of friends. Of course you’re my best friend. Beautiful human.”
Stepmother Vivian

“Imagine if you served such swill to your future husband. How long wold it take for him to abandon you? To understand just how worthless you are? Learn from this and never do it again. Quiet. Cinderella, now that you’re an orphan, it’s important for you to remember that it’s only my love for your father– rest his soul– that stands between you and a life on the street. You could be so pretty… if you took even a second to comb that hair of yours.”
“Thomas. Fortune has smiled upon this house. My daughters have a suitor. Well, you must make yourself a match for someone.”
“Ladies, are we ready? What in God’s name are you doing? Good idea. Where’s Cinderella? Cinderella! Cinderella! Girls, can you help me? Cinderella!”
“Yes, stepchild. Don’t be dense. About to make an excuse? I could truly care less. Grab your things. Try not to make us late. Please, girls, we’re going to be late. What is that? Why? To think that any girl, let alone you, would have the audacity to engage in matters of business, it’s insane. I will not have you embarrassing this household with your blasphemy. Don’t ever let me catch you trying such nonsense again. Put the press down. Good. Now… shoulders back. No slouching. And smile. Every girl is worth more when she smiles.”
“Girls, it shouldn’t be so hard. Because I want you to see what you’re in for if you don’t marry a man of means, like Thomas. Well, if it’s not Thomas, then it will just have to be some other man. No. No, no, no, no, no. Do not cast your eyes on some farm boy. In this life, you must marry rich. Get yourself a man who can pay for everything, and then you will never so much as have to hang your wet undergarments again. No. Farm boy is off the table. No matter how toothsome he may be, and… …and toothsome he is. You must always think and act like this.”

Narissa
” ♪ We are a part ♪ We are a part of the river nation ♪ ‘Cause we are a part of the rhythm nation ♪ “
“I thought she was rather hard on her. Mine, too. Oh, ha-ha-ha.”
“Are they rosy yet? The pain is quite terrific. I’m starting to think she doesn’t like us. Cinderella! Cinderella! Cinderella! The changing of the guard waits for no one. Cinderella? Do you think I look pretty. How do I feel… about myself? Uh… yeah, I do. I feel pretty. You have dirt on your face.”
“But it is. Thomas. He’s quite the catch. Like him? I’m-a go see if he needs a wife. Ew, what does that mean? Ah. But what about romance? Yes!”
Malvolia
” ♪ We are a part ♪ We are a part of the river nation ♪. I’m winning. Whee! ♪ ‘Cause we are a part of the rhythm nation ♪ “
“I thought she could’ve gone harder. I’m into it. You mean this daughter has a suitor. The others have heartache and jealousy.”
“Bringing color to her cheeks. She’s still in that basement. Cinderella! Cinderella! Cinderella! That’s deep.”
“Work is always hard. Why are we doing Cinderella work? Too bad he hasn’t been back in days. It’s how old people say ‘poppin.’ Yes!”
Mouse 1
“Smashed it! Oh, yeah. Mm. Come to papa.”
“Here comes our girl. Shh! Ooh.”
“I don’t mind it.”
Mouse 2
“Perfectamundo. Nod your head, mates.”
“Oh, boy, she’s got heavy feet. Ooh, nice.”
“A little bit? It’s revolting.”
Mouse 3
“Take that, birds! All she hears is squeaks.”
“Oh, I slept in that fabric. Oh!”
“She needs to throw that out.”
Thomas Cecil
“Oh, you’re in. Good morning, Ella. It’s Mr. Cecil! No, but chicks dig it. Vivan. And all the girls. Lucky Thomas. There they go. Freshly picked from the farm. Parsnips, turnips, rutabagas. The fleshiest fruit of the earth. Yes…. n-no. No, no, not today. Yeah, I just wanted to check in on you and make sure that your, uh, blossoming daughters are, uh… um, managing. All right, then. Now I’ve got this mental image to nourish me through the day, I’ll be going.”
Hench
“No, it isn’t! Do not hit me, sweet prince! No, no, no, no!”
Count Wilbur
“Well, thank you for coming in. Mm, the seamonster. Yeah?”
“So you’re just going to wander about until you find her, wearing that ridiculous disguise? Lucky for you. Ah, not too much.”
“Unnecessary. You know, I can’t believe I’m just… so mouthy. It is your belfry that has bats. No, there are multiple bats in your belfry. Well, I’m the prince’s best friend, and I say that yours is one with the bats. I’m your best friend, right? Yeah, thought so. Bats.”
Queen Beatrice
“What are you doing? Oh, okay. I guess she wasn’t the one. She was! Well, perhaps you should marry the sea monster, Robert. He’s gonna make a fine king. Is it me, is your throne a little bit taller than it was yesterday. I mean, it really looks… quite a bit. Mm. Yes. And I am ridiculous. If you need me, I shall be in my chambers. Brushing my hair. Until it all falls out.”
King Rowan
“I am stewing in my own anger. You turned down the daughter of Lord Reginald. I would’ve had control of all the territories right up to the domain of the sea monster. You keep overlooking his behavior. Oh, don’t be ridiculous. And even if it is, I have every right to make it taller. I’m king. Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh. You’re bringing shame to this family, Robert. Have you seen this? I’m becoming a laughingstock. Well, why don’t you ask the Roundabout Players if I’m overreacting? They are currently in a dark windowless room under the castle. They’ll die! When you marry, you’ll settle down. You’ll stop behaving like my idiot son, and the perception of the people will be that you take the crown seriously. Oh, that’s exactly what I can do. That’s the perk of being the king. Kings marry for power, not for love. Silence! Don’t talk about what you don’t understand. Hmm? Continue to defy me, and just out of spite, I’ll give it all– the crown, the palace, everything– to your sister. Leave us, Gwen. You’ve been excused, Gwen. Go! I do. Now, to make sure your nuptials are done properly and on my schedule, we shall hold a ball. Yes. We’ll invite every woman of worth. You’ll dance. You’ll be charming. You shall find a bride. Hmm? Of course we do. But women love it. Good God, Robert, if a rich man ever lost a woman, it was to a man who could dance. Why do I have to explain everything to you? You will go to the ball. You will find someone. That’s an order. Now, go dress. I expect you to look sharp for the changing of the guard. Hmm? Nothing? Don’t be late. Get off my dad! Get down now!”
“Marrying a commoner is not at all what I meant. Fine. So it shall be. Don’t even think about it, Gwen. I don’t make up the rules. I’m just the king.”
Princess Gwen
“Sorry. I would be embarrassed if I wasn’t so bored with my life. But since I’m here, I would to stay and help sort out this whole crown issue. Right. But would this be a good time for me to mention how the kingdom could use the power of the wind instead of burning filthy coal? Dude. Too subtle? Not subtle enough? You’re literally not even going to let me have a seat at the table? Right.”
Female Suitor 1
“God. That’s disgusting. Well, before your aide-de-camp loses a hand… this is called a world map. Now, take a look at this blob here and here. If we marry, our blobs would join up, and we would control the world all the way to this huge seamonster. Doing what? You spent three whole days drinking and foxhunting. I promise, milord, you can keep gallivanting here with your merry bros, and I’ll have have other interests. We never have to be together, except for royal events, war planning and when we have to engage in the disgusting practice of making a son. I see.”
“He’s not working with much upstairs, and I’d be surprised if it was different elsewhere. She knows what I’m talking about.”

Fabulous Godmother
“Once upon a time… …there was an old-fashioned kingdom bound by tradition. Here, everyone had a part to play, and they played it without question. Little did they know, their world was about to change. But until it did, y’all… this village of hardworking citizens moved to the same beat day after day, generation after generation.”
“And over here is where our story begins, at the humble home of a practical woman named Vivian, who was alone again after the death of her second husband. Vivian’s daughters: the obnoxious Malvolia and the self-absorbed Narissa. She cray. Um, yeah. They can be a lot. And down here, in this dingy basement, the stepdaughter, Ella. Or, as her stepsisters call her, Cinderella, because her skins was often besmirched by cinders and her stepsisters were not that clever. Right now, she’s dreaming of a world in which she can live her life any way she wants. Uh, watch it now. You about to roll over on that… …pin.”
