The story begins in a small village where Cinderella lives with her wicked stepmother and stepsisters. Unlike the classic tale, this Cinderella is not interested in finding her prince charming or attending the royal ball. Instead, she dreams of leaving the village to explore the world and build a life of her own.
As the royal ball approaches, the kingdom is abuzz with excitement. Despite her disinterest, Cinderella’s stepsisters and stepmother relentlessly pressure her into attending the event. They believe that marrying the prince would elevate their social status and bring them wealth and power.
Cinderella, tired of her family’s constant nagging, decides to attend the ball but with a twist: she creates a daring and unconventional outfit, revealing her true identity as “Bad Cinderella.” Her bold entrance at the ball shocks everyone, including the prince, who becomes intrigued by her rebellious nature.
In the musical Cinderella and the prince form a bond rooted in their yearning, for excitement and liberation from societal norms. Together they engage in adventures deepening their connection, along the way. Ultimately they support each other in breaking from their limitations and embracing their identities.
The musical concludes with Cinderella and the prince choosing to follow their dreams and carve their own paths, rather than adhering to predetermined roles. They inspire others in the kingdom to do the same, leading to a more open-minded and diverse society.
