Twice Charmed: An Original Twist on the Cinderella Story

Twice Charmed: An Original Twist on the Cinderella Story takes guests back in time to experience the story of Cinderlla in a magical new way. With a swish of a wand, several Bibbidi Bobbidi Boos and the turning of storybook pages, the enchanting stage show immerses audiences in a new rendition of the happily ever after story of Cinderella and her Prince Charming.

With the story beginning where the original ended — during the wedding celebration of Cinderella and Prince Charming — good fortune takes a turn when a new character, evil Fairy Godfather Franco DiFortunato, enters the picture on behalf of Lady Tremaine, Cinderella’s stepmother. Granting Lady Tremaine’s wish, he sends the family back in time to break Cinderella’s glass slipper, thus destroying her chances of marrying the prince and writing a whole new story for Cinderella.

The 52-minute production features a rich musical score with six original compositions and two classic Disney songs including the beloved “Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo” and “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes.” With an accomplished cast, lavish costumes, elaborate set designs and special effects that cleverly turn back the pages of time, the combination seamlessly transitions the show from scene to scene.
