Linderella in a Shoe Dunnit

Casting has now been decided (Tuesday 22 October 2024)

Scene 1 - the most wonderful gift

We have two cats on stage playing and having fun when we see Linderella and her friends walk on stage 

Linderella

Guys, so wish we could go to the Ball at the King's Palace tonight. 

Salina

Who's that cat with our Caterina?

Fernella

Oh my gosh, that's the royal cat Tigirus. Tigirus what are you doing here?

Tigirus

cat noises

Salina

Nice one Fernella. Like cats can talk

Amnese

Actually they can. They just don't speak our language

Giselle chases after the royal cat. They end up playing a game of cat and mouse (or should that be cat and giselle?)

Giselle

Off you go now. You can't be around here

Linderella

Why not?

Giselle

You don't mess around with the royal cat, and anyway. It's the royal ball tonight so he needs to head back to the castle

Linderella

Oh the royal ball. I so wish I could go.

Amnese

I've heard how incredible it is. Everyone dressed up in incredible clothes, 

Fernella

There is an orchestra playing music and people are dancing 

Salina

and there is the Prince who it is said is the most handsome in all of the world

Cat Arina

Meaow

Giselle

Guys stop it. You are getting your hopes up for something that can never happen. We are poor and can't even afford a posh scarf let alone a whole outfit.

Linderella

But...

Linderella starts singing and the others join in

I want to go to the ball (song written by Catherine and Frank)

Linderella everyone

Verse 1
I want to go to the ball, I want to go to the ball, I want to go to the ball and see it all,
See the clothes that they wear, eat the food that they eat,
Dance to all of the music that they play
We want to go to the ball, We want to go to the ball, We want to go to the ball and see it all,
See the clothes that they wear, eat the food that they eat,
Dance to all of the music that they play
Chorus
all day, all night, always, Delight, I want to stay forever there
all day, all night, always, Delight, I want to stay forever there
I want to go to the ball
 

Suddenly we see a man walk in wearing a suit who is clearly wealthy

Philip Anthropist

Hello everyone. My name is Phil. I've made a lot of money in my clothes hire business. I couldn't help overhearing what you were saying. I would like to make your dream come true. I will lend you all the clothes you need for the night of the ball for nothing. However, you need to return them all before midnight tonight. Have we got a deal?

Of course the girls are ecstatic and cheer up and down and then all high five Philip

All the girls at the same time

I can't believe that we're going to the ball

Scene 2 - the morning after

It's the morning after

Giselle

That was the most incredible night of my life

Amnese

For me too. I am so grateful to Philip for. his kindness. Linderella, you especially must have loved it.

She notices that Linderella is looking sad

Amnese

Linderella, what's wrong?

Linderella

I had the most amazing time, however. Someone took one of my Shoe's. It's only a matter of time before Philip notices and...

Just then Philip storms in

Philip Anthropist

So, this is how you repay me. By stealing one of the shoe's I lent you?

Linderella

Please Phil. I don't know how it happened. I tripped up while dancing and when I went to get the shoe, it was gone.

Philip Anthropist

Do you think I'm an idiot. All the people at the ball are rich and have no need for the shoe, you guys however are poor, so I suggest that one of you has stolen it. I will be back with the police

Phil storms off the stage

Linderella

Oh no. What are we going to do?

Amnese

I don't know

Linderella

I'm so stressed

Salina

But who could have taken the shoe. We need to investigate.

Giselle

Let's investigate with a song

They sing Shoe Dunnit

ShoeDunit

Verse/Chorus/ending
Shoe dunnit
Went to the ball
after one big fall
Somebody came and stole her prescious shoe

Scene 3 - the investigation

Suddenly in walks 3 policemen together with Phil

Philip Anthropist

I am going to leave this investigation in the hands of Inspector Shoeso and his men

Inspector Shoeso

Well everyone. I have with me Inspector Pinocchio who is an expert Lie detector

Inspector Pinnochio squeezes his nose and we hear the following sound

Inspector Shoeso

and I have Inspector Doolittle who can translate animals. 
Right, everyone line up while. we will ask you questions.
Inspector Pinocchio, can you start please

Inspector Pinocchio goes up to Amnese,

Inspector Pinocchio

Well, was it you

Amnese

No officer. I'm a good girl

Inspector Pinocchio

And you?

Giselle

I was always taught respect and would never do such a thing

Inspector Pinocchio

And you?

Fernella

My feet are way too big for that Shoe

Inspector Pinocchio

And you?

Salina

My feet are way too small for that Shoe. They only fit Linderella

Linderella does a 'why would you say that?' Gesture to Salina

Inspector Pinocchio

And you?

Linderella

Inspector Pinochio. Why would I steal one shoe? I have two feet

Inspector Pinocchio

You have a point, however, I can tell using my advanced training that they are all innocent

Inspector Shoeso

Inspector Doolittle help me with questioning the cat please.

He turns to the cat

Inspector Shoeso

Did you steel the Shoe?

Inspector Doolittle

(cat noises)

Cat Arina

(Cat noises)

Turns to Inspector Shoeso 

Inspector Doolittle

She says it wasn't her, she was on the roof at the time with the royal cats

Inspector Shoeso

Ask her what the middle name of the royal cat is?

Inspector Doolittle

(more cat noises)

Cat Arina

(Cat noises and shrugs)

Inspector Doolittle

She said, "how is she supposed to know"?

Inspector Shoeso

Well that is proof that it was her all along. Cat, you have been sentenced to death for the theft of Phil Anthropists Shoe. Men, take her away

The cat is going mad and Linderella and co are protesting when suddenly the Prince and his men walk in holding a shoe in his hand

Phil wipes the sweat off his forehead and then rubs his hands together, he's a happy man now.

The prince goes up to Linderella and hands her the shoe

One last time (Lead vocals  backing vocals)

Verse 1

We have had some good times 
We have made great memories 
It is hard to define
All the feelings I'll take with me 
But I know they'll be strong 
they will go on and on 
I’m asking you now 
Will you join with me

Chorus

To sing my
It’s my
goodbye
Goodbye 
I need to tell you what I feel inside
inside
this heart
this heart 
It won't be easy singing one last time
one last… 
In front of these people
…time
that I’ve come to love
come to… 
I’m taking the steps to walk out through that door
...love
One last time

Verse 2

though I tried and I tried
I felt I had failed in life
Couldn’t understand why
Everything that I touched broke down
So I’m letting you know
You have now changed my world
I still have to go
join me one last time

Chorus

To sing my
It’s my
goodbye
Goodbye 
I need to tell you what I feel inside
inside
this heart
this heart 
It won't be easy singing one last time
one last… 
In front of these people
…time
that I’ve come to love
come to… 
I’m taking the steps to walk out through that door
...love
One last time

Break

I feel a love once lost to anger is now free

But I have to leave, perhaps this love of ours was not to be?

Will you join me... 

Chorus

To sing my
It’s my
goodbye
Goodbye 
I need to tell you what I feel inside
inside
this heart
this heart 
It won't be easy singing one last time
one last… 
In front of these people
…time
that I’ve come to love
come to… 
I’m taking the steps to signing my
It’s my
goodbye
Goodbye 
I need to tell you what I feel inside
inside
this heart
this heart 
It won't be easy singing one last time
one last… 
In front of these people
…time
that I’ve come to love
come to… 
I’m taking the steps to walk out through that door
...love
One last time
