action
In the Rodgers & Hammerstein's musical version of the fairy tale, Cinderella lives with her stepmother and her daughters Minerva and Calliope. Her stepmother can't come to terms with the fact that her own daughters aren't as pretty as Cinderella. They humiliate her and impose an inappropriately large amount of work on her. But there is one thing she cannot take away, dreaming. Despite her fate, she sings and dances with her friends, the animals.
One day a letter comes from the king's castle and is invited to the ball. The prince is looking for a wife, and every nubile girl has to appear. Cinderella also wants to go to the ball, but her stepmother tries to prevent that. She gives Cinderella so much work that she barely has the opportunity to sew a dress for the ball. Cinderella is infinitely sad, but a good old fairy comes to her aid and not only conjures up a new dress for her, but also a carriage so that she can appear in time for the ball. However, the spell only lasts until midnight. Cinderella is dancing with the prince at the ball, and when the church tower clock strikes twelve, she just manages to escape, but loses her glass shoe in the process.
The prince wants to see Cinderella again and even get married, so every girl in the kingdom has to try the shoe on. Whoever he fits, the prince will say yes. Because Cinderella seems to be very happy about it and the stepmother suspects that Cinderella could fit the shoe. She wants to try the shoe on quickly, but it doesn't fit. The shoes don't fit the stepsisters Minerva and Calliope either. Cinderella then tries on the shoe, which of course fits, and so she is allowed to go into the lock. There she marries the prince.
