"Cinderella; or, The Little Glass Slipper" (French: Cendrillon, ou La petite Pantoufle de Verre; Spanish: Cenicienta, literally "ashery", stained with ash or dust) is a classic folk tale embodying a myth-element of unjust oppression/triumphant reward. Thousands of variants are known throughout the world.[1] The title character[2] is a young woman living in unfortunate circumstances that are suddenly changed to remarkable fortune. The word "cinderella" has, by analogy, come to mean one whose attributes are unrecognised, or one who unexpectedly achieves recognition or success after a period of obscurity and neglect. The still-popular story of Cinderella continues to influence popular culture internationally, lending plot elements, allusions, and tropes to a wide variety of media.

Plot (taken from Perrault)

Oliver Herford illustrated the fairy godmother inspired from the Perrault version(See above for many variations)

Once there was a widower who married a proud and haughty woman as his second wife. She had two daughters who were equally vain. By his first wife, he'd had a beautiful young daughter who was a girl of unparalleled goodness and sweet temper. The Stepmother and her daughters forced the first daughter to complete all the housework. When the girl had done her work, she sat in the cinders, which caused her to be called "Cinderella". The poor girl bore it patiently, but she dared not tell her father, who would have scolded her; his wife controlled him entirely.

One day the Prince invited all the young ladies in the land to a ball so he could choose a lovely wife. As the two Stepsisters were invited, they gleefully planned their wardrobes. Although Cinderella assisted them and dreamed of going to the dance, they taunted her by saying a maid could never attend a ball.

As the sisters swept away to the ball, Cinderella cried in despair. Her Fairy Godmother magically appeared and vowed to assist Cinderella in attending the ball. She turned a pumpkin into a coach, mice into horses, a rat into a coachman, and lizards into footmen. She then turned Cinderella's rags into a beautiful gown, complete with a delicate pair of glass slippers. The Godmother told her to enjoy the ball, but return before midnight for the spells would be broken.

At the ball, the entire court was entranced by Cinderella, especially the Prince, who never left her side. Unrecognized by her sisters, Cinderella remembered to leave before midnight. Back home, Cinderella graciously thanked her Godmother. She then greeted the Stepsisters who enthusiastically talked of nothing but the beautiful girl at the ball.

When another ball was held the next evening, Cinderella again attended with her Godmother's help. The Prince became even more entranced. However, this evening she lost track of time and left only at the final stroke of midnight, losing one of her glass slippers on the steps of the palace in her haste. The Prince chased her, but outside the palace, the guards had seen only a simple country wench leave. The Prince pocketed the slipper and vowed to find and marry the girl to whom it belonged. Meanwhile, Cinderella kept the other slipper, which had not disappeared when the spell had broken.

The Prince tried the slipper on all the women in the kingdom. When the Prince arrived at Cinderella's villa, the Stepsisters tried in vain. When Cinderella asked if she might try, the Stepsisters taunted her. Naturally, the slipper fitted perfectly, and Cinderella produced the other slipper for good measure. The Stepsisters begged for forgiveness, and Cinderella forgave them for their cruelties.

Cinderella returned to the palace where she married the Prince, and the Stepsisters also married two lords.

The moral of the story is that beauty is a treasure, but graciousness is priceless. Without it nothing is possible; with it, one can do anything.[13]

Theater
[edit] Pantomime
Cinderella debuted as a pantomime on stage at the Drury Lane Theatre, London in 1904 and at the Adelphi Theatre in London in 1905. Phyllis Dare, aged 14 or 15, starred in the latter.

In the traditional pantomime version the opening scene is set in a forest with a hunt in sway and it is here that Cinderella first meets Prince Charming and his "right-hand man" Dandini, whose name and character come from Gioachino Rossini opera (La Cenerentola). Cinderella mistakes Dandini for the Prince and the Prince for Dandini.

Her father, Baron Hardup, is under the thumb of his two stepdaughters, the Ugly sisters, and has a servant named Buttons, who is Cinderella's friend. Throughout the pantomime, the Baron is continually harassed by the Broker's Men (often named after current politicians) for outstanding rent. The Fairy Godmother must magically create a coach (from a pumpkin), footmen (from mice), a coach driver (from a frog), and a beautiful dress (from rags) for Cinderella to go to the ball. However, she must return by midnight, as it is then that the spell ceases.

[edit] Musical Theatre
Cinderella: The Musical by Landon Parks (Book & Lyrics) and Ioannis Kourtis (music) is an English language musical stage show written in 2009, and based on the opera Cendrillon by Jules Massenett.
Cinderella by Rodgers and Hammerstein was produced for television three times:
Cinderella (1957) features Julie Andrews as Cinderella, Jon Cypher, Kaye Ballard, Alice Ghostley and Edie Adams (broadcast in color, but only black-and-white kinescopes exist today).
Cinderella (1965) features Lesley Ann Warren as Cinderella, Stuart Damon as the Prince, Ginger Rogers as the Queen, Walter Pidgeon as the King, Celeste Holm as the Fairy Godmother and Jo Van Fleet as the Stepmother.
Cinderella (1997) features Brandy as Cinderella, Paolo Montalban, Whitney Houston, Whoopi Goldberg, Victor Garber, Bernadette Peters, and Jason Alexander.
The Rodgers and Hammerstein version has also been staged live at times. A successful version ran in 1958 at the London Coliseum with a cast including Tommy Steele, Yana, Jimmy Edwards, Kenneth Williams and Betty Marsden. This version was augmented with several other Rodgers and Hammerstein's songs plus a song written by Tommy Steele, 'You and me' which he sang with Jimmy Edwards. Bobby Howell was the Musical Director. A 2005 version featured Paolo Montalban and an ethnically diverse cast, like the 1997 TV version. Broadway Asia Entertainment produced a staged International Tour starring Lea Salonga and Australian actor Peter Saide in 2008.
Mr. Cinders, a musical which opened at the Adelphi Theatre, London in 1929. Filmed in 1934
Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim (1988), in which Cinderella is one of many fairy tale characters who take part in the plot. This is partly based on the Grimm Brothers version of "Cinderella," including the enchanted birds, mother's grave, three balls, and mutilation and blinding of the stepsisters.
The Return of The Glass Slipper by Mary Donelly
Cinderella by Kate Hawley is written in the style of British Pantos.
Cindy, a 1964 Off-Broadway musical composed by Johnny Brandon

[LondonUnderground]

Can we have a dirty weekend, too?

and by this you mean... LOL

Hmmmm. I shall discuss this matter with my husband.



Oh yes, yes, it would. And then we would have a bigger celebration and chuck things at them!

And if they win somehow, we chuck things at the TV (and at them!).

somehow I don't think my dad would allow me to throw stuff at our not-even-a-year-old 42" plasma flatscreen xD

I find 86 years such a long time.
I HOPE THEY GET ANOTHER 86 YEAR CURSE.
That would be funny xD

It'd would be loss after loss after loss... and they would lose so many fans... because they would stink anymore. And they would be so dissapointed.

AND I WOULD LAUGH MY HEAD OFF.

I would still be a fan. as it says in my Facebook box 'Red Sox Girl forever and a day.' ;D

True, true.

HAHA. They will both be 99 in 86 years! and actually, the curse started a like in '07 bc the RS haven't won the WS since '06. So technically, they will be 96 years old

actually babes we won in 2007 not 2006 (;

Oh yeah, being one of the Random Thread princes XD



Until death! For me atleast.



Red Sox Nation

TILL THE DEATH SIR ZACK.

Red Sox Nation?
Never heard of it.
Sounds stupid though.
Yankee Country!
NOW THERE'S A COUNTRY!

Haha look! Yankee country takes up all of the USA! Except for that little state right there...

yeah actually you have, because I posted that email and I had to tell you what RSN was

96 is a good age to die XD



It won't. I'm gonna get rich and buy the franchise and we shall win 30 WS in 40 years



Woot!

Zack will lead us to VICTORRRRYYYY

omg want.

Eimear, too! She can join us in the skipping!

BAM!

YOU BET

No, the Nationals have NO fans.
Even the players of the Nationals' families hate the Nationals.

LMAO really?!

Yeah, but I like burning better.

On the National holiday of "Prince Zack's Birthday" We will have a Yankee hat bonfire!

when is your birthday?

Yes, then we listen to Sweet Caroline!

GOOD TIMES NEVER SEEMED SO GOOD, SO GOOD, SO GOOD!

While Wally the Green Monster has a ritualistic stepping-on of the Yankees mascot!

Or perhaps Wally leads us in a massive conga line through NYC...

OMG THAT WOULD BE WIN.

The Yankees don't have a mascot.
We don't need an idiot in a stupid costume dancing around to attract fans and pump up the crowd.

well he didn't actually come out at the game I went to. everyone was just pretty pumped to see the game anyway!

I almost feel bad for the players.



Yes! Then we play a game of baseball with the Red Sox players.
I call having Lester and Ortiz on my team!

I CALL ELLSBURY AND SCUTARO kthxbi

My DEAREST Sair-a, navy blue is ALSO a Red Sox colour!

So is white. Which is a Stankee colour as well.

my RS tee is navy with the writing in red.

"Not the Zefron poster, it's an antique!"



I call...hmm...I call...well, not Jacoby, because Eimmy-ear would kill me, XD.

yes yes she would.

Eimear can be on your team then.

oh cause I can't play baseball

Because we enjoy the players, not the playing

precisely

ELS. DL-sbury. (; xD

I love this picture :'D

http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_baseball_player_are_you_7



Pick a player XD

I got Ichiro. but I was oh so very close to Swisher and A-Roid.

oh yeah.

Which MLB Baseball Team Are You?

Congrats, you're the New York Yankees!

With 27 World Series Championship Titles under your belt, you know what winning feels like!
Your biggest enemy is the Boston Red Sox. But you just wipe them away, you know you'll beat them.


WOW. Is that true or what?

So the Yankees lost.

Huh.
