A New Orleans hit and perennial favorite, Cinderella Battistella begins with Mother Roux at her cauldron in the swamps, stirring up a tale of lonely little Cinderella Battistella. It's 1960's New Orleans and Cinderella is stuck with her stepmother Evangeline de la Parish and her surly daughters Feliciana and Tangipahoa. Everyone is waiting for the annual 12th Night Ball where the Queen of the Mardi Gras will be crowned...and the possibility of a marriage! Enter Harvey Canale, Sr., baker of the fateful King Cake for the 12th Night Ball. He wants his son Harvey Jr. to find himself a bride and settle down to take over the royal bakery. Harvey has no interest in marriage, but the women of New Orleans do. Denied the chance to attend the ball with her stepfamily, Cinderella settles in to cleaning the oven when Mother Roux appears to help Cinderella out of the doldrums and into a ballgown with the help of her faithful friends Buster Crab and Berle Crawfish!
Features the songs "You Got Friends" and "Makin' Magic's Easy to Do."
