| Cinderella: | Mezzo soprano (B3 to D5), 18-25, Young, sweet, optimistic, generous. Needs to be able to dance. |
| King: | Baritone (B2 to F4), 40-65 (Comic), A little frumpy, very “down Home”, a bit of a child. |
| Queen: | Mezzo soprano (B3 to D5), 40-65, loves a good party. Knows what is owed to her position. Elegant but a bit motherly. |
| Stepmother: | Mezzo soprano (D4 to D5), 40-65 (Comic), Imperious, “Nouveau Riche” Has a faded beauty that she is holding on to, but after a bit one doesn’t want to be around her. |
| Portia: | Mezzo soprano (C4 to D5), 20-30 (Comic), not too bright. Likes to boss Cinderella—because it makes her feel superior. |
| Joy: | Mezzo soprano (C4 to D5), 20-30 (Comic), Unlike her name she is very solemn, sad all the time |
| Prince Charming: | Baritone (C#3 to E4), 20-30, every girl’s dream of a Prince: handsome, charming—well, you get the picture. Needs to be able to dance. |
| Fairy Godmother: | Mezzo soprano (D4 to D5), Ageless. She is a sensible, no nonsense type, with a quirky sense of humor. |
| Herald: | Tenor (F3 to F#4), Very formal and proper—but easily side tracked. |
| Chef and Steward: | Baritones (C3 to D4 and C3 to C4), A Mutt and Jeff, Laurel and Hardy team. Must be able to dance |
| Townspeople (also additional chefs, maids, etc): | All Voice Types and a variety of types, and ages. All of the townspeople will have unique characters and business. Some must be able to dance. |
