Character Descriptions for Cinderella

 Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella is a musical written for television, but later played on stage, with music by Richard Rodgers and a book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. It is based upon the fairy tale CINDERELLA by Charles Perrault. The musical follows the story of a young woman forced into a life of servitude by her cruel stepmother and self-centered stepsisters, who dreams of a better life. With the help of her fairy godmother, Cinderella is transformed into a princess and finds her prince.

A charming young lady with the kindest heart in the kingdom. 

Sees the good in everyone despite her hardships and suffering from her Stepmother and stepsisters. Dreams of and is determined to find a
 better life for herself.

Queen

The Prince’s lovely mother. Always wants the best for her son, and does her best to keep her husband in line. At times serious, but always affectionate.

Stepmother

Joy

One of Cinderella’s stepsisters. A brash, bratty young woman, who never passes up the opportunity to be the center of attention. Not particularly bright.

Prince Charming
