Cinderella wonders if she, too, can go to the ball. Meanwhile, Cinderella's stepmother, determined to see Calliope or Minerva get chosen, plans their big night. He wishes to fall in love the old-fashioned way, but they dismiss this, and Lionel is dispatched to proclaim that " The Prince is Giving a Ball". His parents, King Maximilian ( Victor Garber) and Queen Constantina ( Whoopi Goldberg), are making preparations for a ball where he is to select a suitable bride from all the eligible maidens in the kingdom. Upbraided by his frantic loyal servant, Lionel ( Jason Alexander), for his clandestine venture into the village, Prince Christopher tries to explain his sense of isolation and sadness. Her stepmother scolds her, and Prince Christopher reluctantly returns to the palace. Cinderella is nearly crushed by the royal coach, searching for missing royalty, but she is saved by Prince Christopher's heroic intervention and is immediately charmed by his sincere, direct nature, just as he is drawn to her naive honesty and purity. Disguised as a peasant, Prince Christopher (Paolo Montalban) strolls through the market. Her imagination wanders ("The Sweetest Sounds"). In the marker, Cinderella ( Brandy Norwood) struggles under the weight of the numerous gaudy purchases of her imperious stepmother ( Bernadette Peters) and her spiteful and envious stepsisters, Calliope (Veanne Cox) and Minerva (Natalie Desselle-Reid). Cinderella's Fairy Godmother ( Whitney Houston) explains that nothing is impossible in this magical, mystical realm.
