Welcome to the enchanting fairytale adventure of the Cinderella ice show!

After Cinderella’s father passed away, her stepmother became wicked and mean. She forced Cinderella to serve her daughters, Cinderella’s stepsisters. Cinderella was not always called Cinderella, as her nickname came from the fact that she always had to clean the ashes from the fireplaces.
The stepsisters and the stepmother spent their days at home mostly admiring themselves in mirrors and eating treats, while Cinderella worked hard with her broom to tidy up the house.
Stepsister: “Cinderella, the kitchen floor needs sweeping!”
Stepmother: “Cinderella, take the empty plates to be washed!”
The stepmother also had a pet cat, whose life purpose was to hunt the mice living in the house.

The stepmother reads the message and immediately calls her daughters over: “The Prince has invited us to the palace ball, where he will choose a wife. All the young women of the kingdom have been invited.”
Cinderella: “Then I can come too.”
“YOU?” the stepsisters mock. “A poor girl like you can’t go to the royal ball!”
Cinderella: “You are probably right,” Cinderella mumbles. “But the invitation said all the young women are invited.”
Cinderella begs the stepmother for permission to attend the ball, and eventually, the stepmother agrees.
“But only if you have completed all your tasks and have an appropriate dress.”
“Oh, thank you,” Cinderella says and rushes to finish all the tasks the stepmother gave her. Meanwhile, the stepsisters are already rummaging through their wardrobes, trying to decide which of their many dresses would be the most suitable to impress the Prince.
Stepsister: “Do you think this will please the Prince?”
9. PREPARING FOR THE BALL
In Cinderella’s room, the mice are waiting for their dear friend, Cinderella.
“Oh, how happy she looks,” one of the mice squeaks when Cinderella dances into the room.
Cinderella: “I’ve been invited to the royal ball! Now I need to find a suitable dress. Do you think my mother’s old dress would work if I decorated it a bit?”
Together, they get to work, searching for something to decorate the dress with. They find plenty of decorations among the discarded items of the stepsisters. Cinderella and the mice also call upon the birds for help.

The stepmother has hidden Cinderella in the kitchen and doesn’t want to give her the chance to try on the shoe, believing she can’t possibly be the one the Prince is looking for.
