in need of a glass slipper

What a treat for the eyes and the ears!
I had to pay to be there at the Trustees, but the Broadway-quality musical was worth every penny of the ticket price!
Not that the price was dear - nope, only ten dollars.
The reason the cost was so low?
The cast consisted entirely of Savannah Christian students.
In fact, the two leads were only in the 9th and 10th grades!
"Impossible", you say?
Then you clearly missed out or you 'twould know I speak the truth!
The set!
The props!
The costumes!
But, mostly, the music!!!

This is my favorite scene in the Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella".
The prince has traveled throughout his kingdom, shining glass slipper in hand, to find his true love, the woman who had charmed his heart and thrilled his soul.
Does he love her because she's beautiful? Or is she beautiful because he loves her?
He must know the answer.
After exhausting what was thought to be the last foot of the last single woman in the realm, yet one more woman was dragged to his presence, a servant clad in ragged clothes.
And before he even slid the shoe onto her foot, he looked into her eyes and recognized her, beneath the tatters and grime.
Aha!
There she is, his one true love!
There he is, her one true love!
And they both know it to be true as they sing the duet, "There's Music In You"!

So, apparently, I need some glass slippers to find my true love...
