Cinderella
by Book and lyrics by Moses Goldberg

Play script by Moses Goldberg.

Music score by Ewel Cornell available from the publisher.

Based upon the Grimm Brothers' version of the worid's most popular fairy tale, this adaptation gives dimension to the characters and offers a chance for spectacle as well.

(The script also contains instructions for producers desiring to produce it as a non-musical.) Two full sets and fairy tale costumes.

5 men, 5 women, or more.

After the death of a young girl's mother, her situation becomes desperate as her home Is transformed by a selfish step-family.

The girl's courage and happiness are restored by a faithful White Bird, a sensitive Prince, and a father who finally finds his courage.

The French version is better known in America, but this German telling includes more of the inner turmoil as the classic "battered child" finds self-esteem through love.

While the play may be successfully produced without the songs, several musical themes provide additional opportunity to elevate the production to high theatricality.
