Going Beyond the Script<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Cinderella Backdrops<\/a>\u00a0and Scenery Perspectives<\/strong><\/h2>\n

written by: Melanie Simmons<\/em><\/p>\n

Cinderella<\/em> is one of the most beloved rags-to-riches stories of all time. There are so many versions of this classic fairy tale available and similarly endless ways to stage this beloved story. Whether you\u2019re going for a more \u201cDisney-esque\u201d feel for younger audiences or leaning more towards\u00a0the classic Rogers and Hammerstein version, TheatreWorld has all the backdrops you need to make your own personal vision of this timeless musical come to life.<\/p>\n

Cinderella’s Quaint Village<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Rogers and Hammerstein version opens in the square of a sleepy country village, where a herald announces to the common folk that the royal family is hosting a ball. The King and Queen have invited everyone in the land to celebrate the Prince’s birthday!\u00a0The villagers are abuzz with this news, especially the ladies, who are thrilled at the possibility of meeting the handsome and very eligible Prince. Only Cinderella seems exempt from the excitement. Not only is she mourning the death of her beloved father, but her stepmother and stepsisters make it clear that Cinderella is no better than a simple serving girl\u00a0who\u00a0has no business dreaming of balls and princes. A bright medieval village would beautifully contrast our heroine\u2019s sadness. Alternately,\u00a0you can amplify those undertones by going with a rich, colorful village square backdrop.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the Prince himself seems unmoved by all the excitement. While the King and Queen hope the Prince will find himself a bride, the Prince is daunted at the thought of all those eager gold diggers throwing themselves at him. Though his life is one of ease and wealth, as evoked by this lavish palace arch backdrop, the Prince has worries of his own.<\/p>\n

Cinderella\u2019s House<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In her humble home, Cinderella watches her spiteful and nasty stepmother and stepsisters getting ready for the ball, their heads full of dreams and expectations of a royal proposals. Before long, they leave her behind to her fireplace and her cinders. However,\u00a0in her mind she\u2019s going to the ball anyway and her active imagination\u00a0fills\u00a0in the details. This backdrop features\u00a0fireplace that\u00a0both\u00a0gives Cinderella comfort and inspires\u00a0her unique moniker.<\/p>\n

Granting Wishes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cinderella wishes so greatly to attend the royal ball that a fairy godmother appears. She grants Cinderella’s\u00a0wish, transforming her rags into a splendid gown and a pumpkin into a glittering carriage. If you\u2019re going for a Disney feel, this might happen in a moonlit forest glen instead of before the fireplace. Let your imagination run free as you stage this iconic scene!<\/p>\n

Cinderella Arrives at the Ball<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cinderella’s fairy godmother gives her\u00a0strict instructions to return home before midnight. Cinderella is then whisked off to the castle, where she makes a show-stopping entrance. A vision in her magical dress, Cinderella dances with the Prince to the awe of every bystander. Before long, the Prince is completely smitten with the mysterious beauty. There is no reason to hold back here on your staging. The more enchanting your\u00a0setting, the more your audience will also be swept away by the magic and the romance. TheatreWorld offers several backdrops with lush, sweeping stairways, perfect for Cinderella\u2019s entrance.<\/p>\n

Midnight Strikes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Time flies, and, before Cinderella can even believe it, the clock\u00a0strikes\u00a0midnight and her time with the Prince is up. Despite his protestations, she must flee\u00a0before her magic runs out. She leaves a devastated Prince alone on the palace steps\u2026 but she also leaves\u00a0also a distinctive slipper. The Prince vows to use the slipper to find the mysterious woman who has captured his heart.<\/p>\n

The next day, Cinderella\u2019s house is buzzing with the events of the previous night. When Cinderella unintentionally reveals her too-accurate knowledge of the events of the ball to her conniving step-family, her step-mother hides her away to make sure the Prince doesn\u2019t know of her existence. But the magic hasn\u2019t abandoned Cinderella just yet. The Prince\u00a0shows up at their doorstep with a slipper for every young maiden in the house to try on. Through a twist of fate (which varies depending on which version you stage), she tries on the slipper and it\u2019s a perfect fit.<\/p>\n

True Love Wins Out –\u00a0Cinderella\u00a0<\/em>Finale<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cinderella<\/em>\u00a0is an epic tale of a princess hiding inside a sweet, common girl and of karma having its way with those who tormented her. The Prince and Cinderella marry in all the splendor of royalty, to the eternal chagrin of the step-mother and step-sisters. The story\u00a0always ends with our Prince and new Princess living happily ever after, everything now made right. This bright fairy-tale castle backdrop\u00a0reflects the fact that everything is now\u00a0right with the world.<\/p>\n
