Cinderella Pantomime Script

Every Cinderella has a Fairy Godmother. This one also has Fairy Sparkles, her enthusiastic but gloriously unreliable work-experience fairy, L-plates and all.

When Baroness Hardup makes Cinderella rip up her royal invitation, the fabulously awful Ugly Sisters, Ammonia and Amnesia, set about trying to woo the Prince, who wants nothing to do with either of them, and Fairy Sparkles is handed a magic wand she’s in no way qualified to use.

Your Ensemble have lots to do as cleaners, mice, and guests at the Royal Ball, and Buttons has to repeatedly recall a silly sentence built by adding awkward alliteration!

With this script, you shall go to the ball!


Cast Size: 11 Principal Characters, plus 2 Supporting Roles and Ensemble

Cinderella Pantomime Script Excerpt

BARONESS HARDUP, AMMONIA and AMNESIA are guests at the Royal Ball.

BARONESS: Now girls, remember what we’re here to do.

AMNESIA: Yes mother, to snare the prince and get his hand in marriage.

AMMONIA: And to take home as much champagne as we can carry.

BARONESS: Very good. Amnesia, you go first. And don’t forget, you must approach him with charm and sophistication.

AMNESIA approaches the PRINCE.

AMNESIA: Oi, fitty!

BARONESS HARDUP is appalled and pulls AMNESIA back.

BARONESS: On second thoughts, you go first Ammonia.

AMMONIA approaches the PRINCE.

AMMONIA: Your highness, it is an honour to have been invited this evening.

PRINCE: You’re very welcome.

AMMONIA: I was thinking you could give me a private tour.

PRINCE: No, thank you.

AMMONIA retreats and AMNESIA tries again.

AMNESIA: Hello, your Majesty.

The PRINCE is horrified.

PRINCE: Security!

AMNESIA: Don’t be such a spoil sport.

AMNESIA turns around and heads back. AMMONIA tries her luck again.

AMMONIA: How about I give you a tour of my privates?

PRINCE: I said no, thank you.

Again, the PRINCE steps away. CINDERELLA, in a stunning ballgown, enters.

EMCEE: Our next guest is… Um… I’m not sure of her name, but looking like that, I have absolutely no doubt she has an invitation.

The PRINCE sees CINDERELLA and rushes to tell DANDINI.

PRINCE: Dandini, that’s her. I’ve got to talk to her! Get those two sisters away from me.

DANDINI: How?

PRINCE: I don’t know; make something up!

DANDINI approaches BARONESS HARDUP, AMMONIA and AMNESIA.

DANDINI: Excuse me, apparently the chef hid a million-pound note in the trifle. If you can find it you can keep it!

BARONESS HARDUP, AMMONIA and AMNESIA rush offstage with glee.
