Cinderella Pantomime Script Excerpt

BARONESS HARDUP, AMMONIA & 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, approach him with charm and sophistication.

AMNESIA: (Yelling towards the PRINCE in a non-charming and entirely unsophisticated way) Oi, fitty!

AMNESIA steps toward the PRINCE but BARONESS HARDUP pulls her 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.

The PRINCE takes a step away. AMMONIA retreats. BARONESS HARDUP encourages AMNESIA to approach.

AMNESIA: Hello your Majesty.

PRINCE: (Looking at her in alarm and calling out) 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.

AMMONIA returns to BARONESS HARDUP and AMNESIA. They chastise her with looks of disapproval. CINDERELLA enters. She looks stunning in her beautiful ballgown.

EMCEE: Our next guest is… Um… (Looks through the clipboard/book for her name but can’t see it) I’m not sure of her name, but looking like that I have absolutely no doubt she has an invitation.

The PRINCE sees her and rushes to tell DANDINI.

PRINCE: Dandini, that’s her. She’s here! I need to talk to her. (Indicating AMMONIA & AMNESIA) Get those two sisters away from me.

DANDINI: How?

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

DANDINI crosses over to 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.
