Sometimes audience members like to clap their hands after a song in the show is done. They also clap at the end of the performance.

We ask that all audience members NOT clap their hands. Instead, you can snap your fingers, or wave your hands in the air.

There are times when the actors will ask you questions and talk to you. You can answer them quietly if you would like to, but you do not have to.

There are other times when the actors are just talking to each other. At these times, you should not try to talk to them.

Throughout the show there are mice that dance and move around the stage. They are puppets, they are not real mice. The puppets are controlled by actors who also make mice sounds.

Before intermission we see Cinderella’s carriage which lights up and has bright pyrotechnics coming off of it. This is a special effect and is safe for the actors on stage. The carriage lifts up off the floor using a stage elevator.
