Charming Princes

Cinderella lived the dream: she donned a gown of starlight, waltzed with the prince, and stole a (somewhat wet and slimy) kiss. So what if Charming couldn't take a hint, even when it smacked him with a six-inch stiletto? He was a prince, and that's what Cinderella had wished for...right?

CHARMING PRINCES is perfect for touring, and for elementary schools!

CINDERELLA.
Oh, he was everything I’d hoped for – handsome, debonair – but that’s all he was: handsome.  Charming.  And that was all I would ever be to him: beautiful, with moonlight in my hair...

So I threw my shoe at his head and ran away.
