Well. I’m glad I’ve left # in my place. Time to go and have some fun and explore!
Prince Percival collides with Aurora as she stands up out of her hiding place.
There is an instant true love moment between them.
Oh. I’m so sorry. I didn’t see you.
That’s alright. It wasn’t your fault I was hiding.
Why would anyone as beautiful as you need to hide?
Because my father has invited a load of spoilt Prince’s to my birthday and he
seems to think I should marry one of them. I mean, it’s ridiculous.
You’re princess Aurora?
Yes. I am.
You’re not what I expected.
Oh.
No. In a good way. You seem very normal.
Why, how else should a Princess be?
Spoilt? Giving out orders?
That doesn’t sound very nice.
No.
I don’t think I could ever be like that.
Good. I think you’re perfect just the way you are.
Thank you. You’re very charming.
No. That’s my cousin.
Sorry?
Never mind.
Do you have a name?
Of course.
Will you tell me it?
Oh. Yes. That would be helpful. I’m Pri… Percy. Just call me Percy.
Percy. I like it.
LOVE DUET (LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR)
(Please prepare the first verse of ‘Love is an open door ‘ from Frozen minus the
dialogue into it. Aurora sings the girls part and the Prince the boys part in the
original. It doesn’t have to be off by heart or harmony perfect, but it would be good if
you could just to give us an idea)
Chester the Jester Audition Piece
Chester
Oh. Hello there! What are you doing in the King’s castle? If you’ve come for the
party, you’re a bit too early… oh well, not to worry. I’m sure I can find something
to do with you until the party starts, after all I am an entertainer! Really, I am
and I’m going to be performing for the king tonight. I’m really nervous. I’ve
never performed in front of royalty before. Maybe you could help me… Would
you like to hear some of my act? (audience reaction – ad lib) Are you sure? You
don’t sound convinced. I’m sure you can be louder than that! Would you like to
hear some of my act? (audience react) Brilliant! Ok. Get a load of this…
There once was a fellow called Chester,
Who lived on a farm down near Leicester,
He was longing to sing,
For a Queen and a King,
And dreamed of becoming a Jester!
He sold all the cows and his tractor,
In his pursuit of becoming an actor,
And moved north to Notts,
To increase his shots,
Of performing in next year’s X-factor!
Well, what do you think? (audience reacts) Ok, so it may need a little work, but it’s a
true story. I am Chester. Chester the Jester! And one day I’m going to be famous. If I can
impress the King and Queen of Nottingham then Simon Cowell should be a piece of cake!
Fairy Stardust (Good Fairy) and Cat audition Piece
Fairy
Hello everyone. I am Fairy Stardust, the queen of all good fairies and I’m on my
way to a very special christening. A princess has been born to a lovely king and
queen and I am on my way to give the baby a gift, but first I have to find lost my
friend the cat. She’s a very special magic cat because she can talk and I need her
help. She has been a good friend to all fairies. Have you seen her anywhere?
Cat enters behind. Classic she’s behind you sequence. Eventually fairy Stardust
finds the cat.

Oh there you are. Where have you been?
I was in the king’s kitchen. Dolly gives me the meat scraps when I visit her. Did
you want me for something?
Yes. I need your help. I think Carabosse, the wicked fairy, is up to no good again.
Tell me something I didn’t know. She’s always doing something bad.
Which is why I need you to do something for me. You are the only one who can
sneak in to her castle and I need you to go on a special mission.
A mission?! Brilliant. Do you want me to shred all her tights with my claws, or
leave fur all over her cloak or maybe cough up a hair ball all over her bed?
That’s disgusting.
She’s not a very nice person you know.
I know, but I don’t think anyone deserves that. No, what I need you to do is spy
on her. Find out her plans.
I will be the best 007 in the world!
Good. Now off you go and if you do a good job I’ll bring you a fish.
Say no more. I’m on the case!
Carabosse (Evil Fairy) and Magic Mirror Audition Piece
Carabosse Did I hear booing? Strange, I haven’t even met you yet and you already boo me.
Well so you should! I am Carabosse the wicked fairy and I have been very wicked
today. So far I have soured all the milk in the local villages, taken every left shoe
from every shoe shop and stolen… this!
Magic mirror enters.
Mirror
You do know this is the wrong fairytale for me to be in, don’t you?
Carabosse Silence! You now work for me!
Mirror
I had a horrible feeling you were going to say that.
Carabosse Magic Mirror! You can see into the future, yes?
Mirror
Somethings, yes, but it doesn’t always work. I mainly deal with the present.
Carabosse Fine. We’ll start with something present and work our way up to the future. Tell
me this… who is the…
Mirror
Wait a minute. That’s not how it works. You have to say ‘mirror, mirror on the
wall’ first, then ask the question, and it has to rhyme too.
Carabosse Can’t you just tell me without all of that?
Mirror
Afraid not. It’s in my programming. It’s the only way the magic works.
Carabosse Fine. Although I’m sure I know the answer to this one, but ‘mirror, mirror on the
wall, who is the fairest one of all?’
Mirror
Jennifer Lawrence. At least that’s who Cosmo voted for last month but
personally I think Emma Watson could be prettier.
Carabosse What about me?
Mirror
Oh your way down the list, with Hollywood actresses like them around.
Carabosse Why you…!
Mirror
I tell the truth. If you don’t like the answer, then don’t ask the question.
Carabosse How am I supposed to know if I’ll like the answer if I don’t ask the question?
Mirror
I don’t think you are. Maybe it would be better if I just left…
Mirror tries to exit. Carabosse raises her hand and magically pulls the mirror
back.
Carabosse Oh no you don’t. I’m not finished with you.
Mirror
(sarcastically) Oh goody.
Carabosse Mirror I wish to know something else. Something about the future…
Mirror
I knew you were going to say that. Maybe my fortune telling powers are better
than I thought.
Carabosse Mirror, mirror on the wall. What does the future hold for me?’
Mirror
I’m sorry, but could you rephrase that. It doesn’t rhyme and you may remember
me saying it has to rhyme or the magic doesn’t work.
Carabosse (sighs) Fine, let’s see… Mirror, mirror on the tree, what does the future hold for
me?
Mirror
On the tree? I’m not on a tree.
Carabosse You’re not on a wall either, but that didn’t stop you earlier!

I suppose that’s only a dream, is it?
It’s not really my place to say, sire.
Alright. What would you like to do?
I haven’t really thought about it.
You must have a dream of some sort.
Honestly. I’ve always thought it must be great to be a Prince. You get to dance
with beautiful princesses and dress in fancy clothes, with a really big hat with a
feather in it! No-one bosses you around, well, apart from the king, and you get
to go to fancy dinners.
Like the one I have to go to today, you mean.
That’s it.
The thing is I don’t want to go, but I know I’ve got to or my father will be furious.
Wait a minute. What if we swapped places?
Sire?
You can pretend to be me for the day. You can go to the fancy dinner and dance
with the princess, and I can spend the day exploring the castle and the land
around it. No one will know.
I’m not sure that’s such a good idea, your majesty.
Why not?
If your father finds out…
He won’t.
But he could.
I won’t tell him. You won’t tell him. So how is he going to know?
Well…
Just this once.
umm….
I’ll let you wear my hat.
Alright. Just this once.
Brilliant. #, You’re a legend! Today is going to be amazing!
They swap hats and coats, Percival takes the map.
So, ‘your highness’, where to next?
I believe we are heading to the castle.
Excellent choice. It’s this way.

Aurora. There you are!
Good morning mother.
Where have you been? I was so worried about you.
I went for a walk in the gardens to watch the sunrise, just like I do every year on
my birthday. It’s never worried you before today. Is there something wrong?
No. Of course not. I’d just rather you stayed inside the castle today, so I know
where you are.
Why?
Because it’s your birthday and….
It’s my sixteenth birthday and you’re worried that the wicked fairy’s curse will
come true.
How do you know about that?
Everybody knows about the curse. You didn’t really think you could keep it a
secret from me, did you? Not with Dolly and Chester around.
No. I suppose not.
Don’t worry, mother. There aren’t any spinning wheels anywhere in the land
and I promise that even if I see one I won’t go near it. There’s no need to worry.
I know. You’re right.
Fanfare sounds.
What was that?
It must be the first of the royal Princes arriving.
Royal Princes? What are they coming here for?
You’re birthday party. Ever since your father got his computer and set up a
Twitter account for you, there have been Princes everywhere following you.
I haven’t seen anyone following me.
Not in real life. Online.
Oh.
You’ve become quite a sensation. Princes everywhere have apparently been
printing out your photo and pinning it up on their walls.
Why would daddy put my photo online?
I suppose it was his way of finding a possible solution to the curse.
What solution?
If something should happen to you, Fairy Stardust made it so that you would fall
asleep and that only a kiss of true love would wake you.
A kiss! Yuck! You’ve got to be joking!
Why not? People in love kiss all the time, especially Princes and Princesses.
Don’t you remember any of the stories I read you as a child.
Yes, but I still don’t think I want some strange Prince to come and kiss me.

Thank you all for joining us on this very special day. The day we name our
daughter. We have decided to call her princess…
Dolly is trying to push past the fairies.
Dolly?
Oh, named after me, your majesty I’m honoured.
No. That’s not what I...
Then what did you?
I was about to say…
Say what?
Her name.
Dolly.
No, no, no.
No, no, no? That’s a confusing name sire. It would make it quite difficult to tell
her off. Just think how many no’s that would be.
Your right, but that isn’t her name.
That’s a relief. It could make things very confusing. Perhaps you’d better tell us
her name now, after all a name is defining term which allows us to associate a
person’s face with a title and is key to the general development of a child.
What?
She’s What.
Who’s what?
She’s what.
What?
You see how good you’re getting at saying it sire. It doesn’t have quite the ring I
would expect a princess’s name to have, but at least it’s easy to remember.
What is?
It is, isn’t it. I’m glad we got that all sorted.
I’m lost.
You’re in the castle throne room, Sire.
I know that.
I thought you said you were lost.
Oh dear. What was I saying?
There she is again.
Who?
What.
What?
Yes.
I’m so confused.
