Script: Herald

SIDE 1

HERALD
Announcing his Imperial Grace, the Grand Duke!

(STEPMOTHER flings open the door and pushes the GRAND DUKE and HERALD inside the house.)

STEPMOTHER
Why welcome, welcome, welcome! I thought you'd never get here. May I present my daughters Drizella and Anastasia ...

(The STEPSISTERS enter, curtseying badly.)

ANASTASIA, DRIZELLA
Your Grace.

(The GRAND DUKE and HERALD wince.)

GRAND DUKE
Yes. Charmed, I'm sure. Now, shall we begin?

(The MICE, who have been hiding, observe the action and talk among themselves.)

JAQ
Quick, get Cinderelly, get Cinderelly!

(PERLA runs off to find CINDERELLA. The HERALD displays the slipper.)

DRIZELLA
Why, that's my slipper!

ANASTASIA
(gasps)
Don't be ridiculous. It's - it - it's my slipper!

(GUS shouts out, as the other MICE pull him back into hiding.)

GUS
No, no, no! Cinderelly's slipper. Cinderel --

SIDE 2

(Stepping into regal action, the GRAND DUKE hands CINDERELLA's mop to ANASTASIA, her bucket to DRIZELLA, and her broom to STEPMOTHER.)

GRAND DUKE
You can come to the Palace when your chores are done around here.

HERALD
And you can start by cleaning up that broken slipper!

(STEPMOTHER and the STEPSISTERS stomp off as the TOWNSPEOPLE approach.)

NARRATOR 1
News spread quickly that the girl from the ball was really Cinderella ...

NARRATOR 2
... and the whole kingdom rejoiced!

(The PRINCE and KING enter. The GRAND DUKE offers his arm to the FAIRY GODMOTHER, who takes it and offers her other arm to the KING. The PRINCE approaches CINDERELLA.)

PRINCE
I don't think we ever got to finish our dance at the ball, did we?

CINDERELLA
Why no, I don't believe we did.

PRINCE
May I?

CINDERELLA
Sure!

NARRATOR 3
So the Prince and Cinderella danced and danced.
