COMEDY/SPOOF. Audiences of all ages will love this off-kilter, madcap version of “Cinderella.” With the bad economy and no job skills, Prince Wigglesworth needs to find a bride so he can become king and rule the kingdom. So the Prince decides to host a masked ball so he can meet all the eligible maidens in the kingdom. Forbidden to attend the ball by her evil stepmother, Cinderella visits her mother’s grave, where she meets a licensed and certified, full-service fairy godmother who specializes in “wishes granted, spells cast, futures told, and uni-brows plucked” and who helps Cinderella prepare for the ball. When the Prince meets Cinderella, he falls madly in love with her. But when Cinderella suddenly disappears, the Prince has to find her with the help of his dimwitted palace security guards who may have been hired from Idiots-R-Us!
