“This agreeable ensemble cast rendering of Cinderella holds appeal for fairy-tale fans of all ages. Narrator Michael Dick’s seasoned voice is ideal as the story quickly shifts from Cinderella’s kindness to the competitive jealousy of Esmé and Agatha, her stepsisters. Georgia Lee Schultz’s endearing portrayal of Cinderella is convincing whether she’s dealing with her nasty step-family, a desperate beggar, or the prince. Superior sound effects such as the stepmother’s demanding bell, Cinderella’s sweeping, and the clock striking midnight add to the ambiance. Mary Ellen Herder is fully believable as the spiteful, greedy stepmother whose list of chores for Cinderella is never-ending. Listeners will be entertained by Cinderella’s conversations with her cat, Mr. Pettipaws, and the shrewdly imparted conclusion.” AudioFile
In this classic children’s tale of triumph over adversity, Cinderella is condemned to a life of servitude by an uncaring stepmother and the constant torment of her jealous stepsisters. Throughout her suffering, Cinderella maintains her kindness, until one day she is rewarded by meeting her true love—the handsome Prince.
Featuring Georgia Lee Schultz (Alice in Wonderland, Snow White) as Cinderella, Mary Ellen Herder (Snow White) as the Stepmother and Michael Dick as the Narrator. This dramatized version features a full cast of characters, music, and engaging sound effects.

“Georgia Lee Schultz does a splendid job as Cinderella, embodying the sweet, youthful innocence and kindness of the character perfectly. Other notable performances are Brady Van Vaerenbergh as the Prince and Ellin Wallin as the Old Woman and Fairy Godmother, both of whom fill their respective parts very well.” J. D. Sutter, Audio Theatre Central, Porchlight Family Media
