After a visit from the Master of Ceremonies (Emmanuel Martirosyan), inviting the household to the Prince's royal ball, and Cinderella's dreams of attending it being quashed by her Stepmother, Cinderella's Fairy Godmother returned with an entourage of Fairies and Cavaliers to make that dream come true. The scene closed out Act One and contained much of the act's finest dancing, including Fairies representing the four seasons who performed for Cinderella. 

Spring Fairy Sydney Henson's solo featured syncopated turning steps and high développés, while Summer Fairy Gabriela Checo and Fall Fairy Kaela Ku's solos highlighted fast footwork. Winter Fairy Alexandra Veronese-Milan's solo was most impressive with a split-jump turning sequence. An elegant pas de deux between Svinko and her Cavalier, Alexander Guzmán followed, along with a “Clock Bells” dance by a dozen female dancers whose rigid arm movements emulated clock hands. 

Act Two’s Ball scene saw a return of the Stepsisters, whose comical entrance, with a bewildered Crittenden backing onto the stage, got a lot of laughs. Her wildly animated facial features, comedic physicality, and timing in the scene and the role were priceless. It was all gags until Cinderella’s illustrious arrival, carried aloft on a chair and looking like an angel descending from the heavens. 

The conclusion was pure confection, with the customary lost slipper and dash from the ball, and a smitten Prince and attendants combing the village for the slipper’s owner. At last, with Cole back in her ball gown and now married to the Prince, the entire cast danced in celebration. The final image was of the couple, center stage, kissing as colored streamers shot toward them to the delight of the audience.
