Cast of Characters:
ELLA – Though no one notices her beneath her rags and quiet demeanour, she is opinionated, charismatic and funny. Determined to see the best in everyone despite her hardships and suffering, we see her blossom into a confident young woman.
TOPHER – A misguided and lost prince who longs to do something important with his life. Though brave and heroic he feels lonely and unfulfilled. Charming but not the stereotypical ladies man, he is thoughtful and appealing.
MADAME – Ella’s selfish stepmother. The epitome of vanity and fashion. Unapologetically dismissive and sometimes cruel, Madame schemes her way up the social ladder.
SEBASTIAN – The kingdom’s Lord Chancellor. Though he is Topher’s trusted advisor, he is devious and selfish.
MARIE – A friend to Ella and the town’s crazy lady and beggar woman. Marie is actually Ella’s fairy godmother in disguise.
GABRIELLE – Ella’s stepsister and daughter of Madame. Quietly empathetic and witty, she is drawn to Ella and Jean-Michel. Ironically aware that she doesn’t fit in.
CHARLOTTE – Ella’s stepsister and daughter of Madame. Brash, self-centred, sassy and loud, she never passes up an opportunity to be the centre of attention.
JEAN-MICHEL – Feisty, passionate peasant determined to make a change for the starving class. A firebrand, but lacks the authority to be taken seriously as a revolutionary. Has a crush on Gabrielle though their courtship is forbidden because they are from different social classes.
LORD PINKLETON – The Lord Chancellor’s right-hand man. Announces royal balls, banquets and even the weather to the villagers.
CHORUS – Fill the roles of footmen, coachmen, knights, townspeople, ladies and gentlemen of the Court, servants, etc.
