Random Thread & The Interchangeable Inside Joke

Act Two
Outside the palace at 11:30 p.m., Cinderella is excited but nervous to be going to the Prince's Ball. Her Fairy Godmother instructs her to leave before midnight, then vanishes in a puff of smoke. The footman is nonplussed, and reiterates the Godmother's warning.

Inside the ball, the guests, including Cinderella's Stepmother and her daughters, are dancing a stately gavotte. The Prince seems bored by the whole affair. His mother, the Queen, is having a grand time and the King is merely humoring his wife.

The Stepmother bribes a footman to introduce her daughters to the Prince. He dances politely with each, but finally extricates himself to go and ask Cinderella for a dance. The entire ballroom is abuzz as everyone wonders who Cinderella can be. The Prince is clearly smitten, and Cinderella confesses she feels the same about him. ("Ten Minutes Ago")

Joy and Portia are overcome with jealousy as they realize the Prince has fallen for the lovely stranger. ("Stepsister's Lament")

The Prince and Cinderella waltz, along with the King and Queen, while the guests mostly watch. The Prince takes Cinderella out away from the crowd onto a moonlit veranda. Cinderella, suddenly realizing the time, tells the Prince she must leave. The Prince and Cinderella exchange a kiss and declare their love for one another. The Prince ponders why he has fallen in love with her, and Cinderella ponders whether it is a all a dream. ("Do I Love you Because You're Beautiful?")

As the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella panics and runs from the palace without telling the Prince her name. He chases her through the ballroom but is left alone at the top of the stairs, holding her fallen glass slipper.

Act Three
The next morning, Cinderella feigns innocence and asks her Stepmother, Joy and Portia all about the ball. They exaggerate about their own popularity with the Prince and downplay the mysterious Princess. The Stepmother asks what Cinderella did while they were gone. She says she dreamed of going the ball. ("When You're Driving Through the Moonlight") Cinderella's daydream version of the ball is suspiciously accurate, and the sisters and Stepmother are drawn in by her story and daydream it themselves. ("A Lovely Night")

The Stepmother snaps out of it and scolds her daughters for listening to Cinderella's daydream. She orders them to their rooms and orders Cinderella to clean the house.

Meanwhile, the Prince shows his parents the slipper and commands the Herald to find its owner. The King vows to help, but the Queen gently cautions that he may not find her and shouldn't let his happiness depend on it. ("Do I Love You, Reprise")

The Herald and his helpers roam the town, trying the glass slippert on the foot of all the women and girls. They arrive at Cinderella's house and unsuccessfully try to fit it on the Stepmother, Joy and Portia. The Godmother suddenly appears at the window and suggests that Cinderella be allowed to try the slipper. But Cinderella is nowhere to be found.

The Herald returns to the palace bringing the bad news that the shoe's owner could not be found. The disheartened Prince is sitting in the garden with the glass slipper, when Cinderella wonders in, lost in another daydream. The Prince thinks he recognizes her from somewhere, but can't quite place her. Cinderella, embarrassed to be seen in her rags, starts to leave. But her words jogs the Prince's memory and he tries the shoe on Cinderella. She tells him her name and they kiss.

The scene changes back to the ballroom and Cinderella and the Prince return in wedding finery for the finale.

In My Own Little Corner

Cinderella: I'm as mild and as meek as a mouse
When I hear a command I obey.
But I know of a spot in my house
where no one can stand in my way.
In my own little corner in my own little chair
I can be whatever I want to be.
On the wings of my fancy I can fly anywhere
and the world will open its arms to me.
I'm a young Norwegian princess or a milkmaid
I'm the greatest prima donna in Milan
I'm an heiress who has always had her silk made
By her own flock of silkworms in Japan
I'm a girl men go mad for love's a game I can play with
cool and confident kind of air.
Just as long as I stay in my own little corner
All alone in my own little chair.
I can be whatever I want to be.
I'm a slave from Calcutta I'm a queen in Peru.
I'm a mermaid dancing upon the sea
I'm a huntress on an African safari.. it's a dangerous type of sport and yet it's fun
In the night I sally forth to seek my quarry
And I find I forgot to bring my gun.
I am lost in the jungle all alone and unarmed when I meet a lioness in her lair
Then I'm glad to be back in my own little corner,
All alone in my own little chair.

Impossible!; It's Possible!!

(spoken)
Fairy Godmother: Cinderella?
Cinderella: Who are you?
Fairy Godmother:I'm your fairy godmother.
Cinderella: How beautiful you are.
Fairy Godmother: I'm made of all of your most beautiful hopes and dreams and wishes.
Cinderella: Oh, Fairy godmother, I have only one wish just now.... to go to the ball.... and I know it is impossible.
Fairy Godmother:Impossible? Bah, what's a fairy godmother for?
Cinderella: To make my wish come true?
Fairy Godmother: If you wish it hard enough. Now let me see you'll need a coach, and four horses, and a coachman, and a groom.
Cinderella: Is it possible to get those things by wishing for them?
Fairy Godmother: Well, the sensible people of this world will say
(sung) Fol-de-rol and fiddle dee dee and fiddley faddley foddle all the wishes in the world are poppy **** and twoddle.
Cinderella: (spoken) Aren't they?
Fairy Godmother:Not always. The sensible people will also say (sung) Fol-de-rol and fiddle dee dee and fiddley faddley foodle all the dreamers in the world are dizzy in the noodle.
Cinderella: (spoken) And aren't they?
Fairy Godmother: Not always, especially when there is someone who loves you to help you. Now, to work. For a coach I believe I see a pumpkin over there-- that'll do very nicely.
Cinderella: A pumpkin?
Fairy Godmother: I see you have four pet mice in a cage.. they'll do very nicely for the horses
Cinderella: Mice? For horses?
Fairy Godmother: Mm hmm.. Now let me see, something's peering at us from under that shrub, oh yes, it's a fine fat rat with whiskers, and his brother they'll do very nicely for the coachman and the groom.
Cinderella: Oh, dear Fairy Godmother it all seems so impossible!!

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Fairy Godmother: Impossible for a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage.
Impossible for a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage.
And four white mice will never be four white hourses.
Such fol-de-rol and fiddle dee dee of course is: Impossible!
But the world is full of zanies and fools
who don't believe in sensible rules
and won't believe what sensible people say..
and because these daft and dewey eyed dopes
keep building up impossible hopes
impossible things are happening every day!
Cinderella: Impossible!

Ten Minutes Ago

Prince: Ten minutes ago, I saw you
I looked up when you came through the door
my head started reeling
you gave me the feeling the room had no ceiling or floor.
Ten minutes ago, I met you,
and we murmured our how do you dos
I wanted to ring out the bells and fling out my arms and sing out the news.
I have found her, she's an angel,
with the dust of the stars in her eyes.
We are dancing, we are flying,
and she's taking me back to the skies!
In the arms of my love, I'm flying, over mountain and meadow and glen.
And I like it so well that for all I can tell
I may never come down again. I may never come down to earth again.
Cinderella: Ten minutes ago, I saw you.
You looked up when I came through the door.
My head started reeling you gave me the feeling the room had no ceiling or floor.
Ten minutes ago I met you and we murmered our how do you dos.
I wanted to ring out the bells and fling out my arms and to sing out the news.
Prince: I have found her.
Cinderella: I have found him, he's the light of the stars in my eyes.
Prince: We are dancing
Cinderella: We are flying
Prince: And she's taking me back to the skies
Cinderella: In the arms of my love, I'm flying over mountain and meadow and glen.
Prince: And I like it so well that for all I can tell I may never come down again.
Both: I may never come down to earth again.

Stepsisters' Lament

Grace: Why should a fellow want a girl like her
a frail and fluffy beauty
Why can't a fellow ever once prefer
a solid girl like me?
Joy: She's a frothy little bubble
with a flimsy kind of charm
And with very little trouble
I could break her little arm.
Grace: Oh, oh why would a fellow want a girl like her
so obviously unusual
Why can't a fellow ever once prefer
a usual girl like me?
Joy: Her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink,
but not any pinker than rose is
Grace: Her skin may be delicate and soft,
but not any softer than a doe's is
Joy: Her neck is no whiter than a swan's
Grace: She's only as dainty as a daisy
Joy: She's only as graceful as a bird!
Both: So why is the fellow going crazy?
oh why would a fellow want a girl like her,
a girl who's merely lovely,
Why can't a fellow ever once prefer
a girl who's merely me?
Joy: She's a frothy little bubble
with a frilly sort of air
And with very little trouble
I could pull out all her hair!
Both: Oh, why would a fellow want a girl like her,
a girl who's merely lovely,
Why can't a fellow ever once prefer
a girl who's merely me?
What's the matter with the man,
what's the matter with the man,
what's the matter with the man?!!

Do I love you because you're beautiful?

Prince: Do I love you because you're beautiful,
or are you beautiful because I love you?
Am I making believe I see in you
a girl too lovely to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful,
or are you wonderful because I want you?
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream
or are you really as beautiful as you seem?
Cinderella: Am I making believe I see in you
a man too perfect to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful,
or are you wonderful because I want you?
Both: Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream
or are you really as wonderful as you seem?

When you're driving through the moonlight/ Lovely night

Cinderella: I imagine.. I imagine...
When you're driving through the moonlight on a highway
when through the moonlight to a dance
you are breathless with a wild anticipation of adventure and excitement and romance
Then at last you see the towers of the palace
silouetted on the sky above the park
and below them is a row of lighted windows
like a lovely diamond necklace in the dark
Joy: It looks that way
Grace: The way you say
Evil Stepmother: She talks as if she knows.
Cinderella: I do not know these things are so I only just suppose
I suppose that when you come into the ballroom
and the room itself is floating on the air
If you're suddenly confronted by his Highness
you are frozen like a statue on the stair.
You're afraid he'll hear the way your heart is beating
and you know you musn't make the first advance.
You are seriously thinking of retreating
then you seem to hear him asking you to dance
You make a bow, a timid bow, and shyly answer yes
Evil Stepmother: How would you know that this is so?
Cinderella: I do no more than guess, I do no more than guess
He is tall
Joy: And straight as a lance
Cinderella: His eyes
Grace: Can melt you with a glance
Cinderella: Yes I can picture the whole thing,
how you start thinking
Joy: Start thinking what?
Cinderella: Thinking how wonderful it all is
Evil Stepmother: How wonderful what all is?
Cinderella: Everything
Evil Stepmother: Enough of this nonsense. Joy, Grace, upstairs both of you and get your sleep
Joy & Grace: Yes ma'am
Evil Stepmother: Cinderella, here is your broom GET TO WORK!!!

Cinderella: ....A lovely night, a lovely night,
a finer night you'll know you'll never see.
You meet your prince, a charming prince
as charming as a prince will ever be.
The stars in the hazy heaven tremble above you
while he is whispering 'darling, I love you.'
You say goodbye, away you fly
but on your lips you'll keep a kiss
all your life you'll dream of this lovely, lovely night.
A lovely night, a lovely night,
a finer night you'll know you'll never see.
You meet your prince, a charming prince
as charming as a prince will ever be.
The stars in the hazy heaven tremble above you
while he is whispering 'darling, I love you.'
You say goodbye, away you fly
but on your lips you'll keep a kiss
all your life you'll dream of this lovely, lovely night.
You say goodbye, away you fly
but on your lips you'll keep a kiss
all your life you'll dream of this lovely, lovely,lovely night.

Loneliness of Evening

Prince: I wake in the loneliness of sunrise
when the deep purple heaven turns blue
And start to pray, as I pray each day, that I'll hear some word from you.
I lie in the loneliness of evening looking out on a silver flaked sea
And ask the moon, how soon, how soon, will my love appear to me?
Will my love appear to me?

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Falling in love with love is falling for make believe.
Falling in love with love is playing the fool;
Caring too much in such a juvenile fancy.
Learning to trust is just for children in school.

I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see.
I fell in love with love, with love everlasting,
But love fell out with me.
