The music score was composed by Joe Raposo.

Plot
The story follows Cinderella (Belinda Montgomery): a beautiful girl who is forced to do all the chores by her wicked stepmother and two stepsisters with only her dog Rufus to help her.
At the palace, King Goshposh (performed by Jim Henson) is bored and wishes to throw a party so that he may be given presents. As an excuse, he decides that his son Prince Arthur Charming (Robin Ward), ought to wed and use the ball as a means to find a suitable princess bride. Arthur does not like this arrangement and while gardening explains to his friend Kermit the Frog (also performed by Jim Henson) that every girl who knows him is a snob. His only hope to find an unsnobbish girl is to find a girl who does not recognize him as the prince.

Hey Cinderella
by: Suzy BoggussWe believed in fairytales that day,I watched your father give you away,your aim was true when a pink boquet fell right into my hands.We danced for hours and we drank champagne,you screamed and laughed when I got up and sang and then you rode away in a white Mustang to your castle in the sand.Through the years and the kids and the jobs and the dreams that lost their way do you ever stop and wonder,do you ever just wanna say ( Chorus)Hey-ay Cinderella;what's the story all about?I got a funny feeling we missed a page or two somehow.Woah-oh-ho Cinderella;maybe you could help us out,does the shoe fit you now? We're older but no more the wise.We've learned the art of compromise.Sometimes we laugh,sometimes we cry and sometimes we just break down.We're good now 'cause we have to be,come to terms with our vanity,sometimes we still curse gravity when no one is around.Yeah our dolls gather dust in a corner of the attic,our bicycles rust in the rain,still we walk in that fabled shadow,sometimes we call her name (Repeat Chorus) Fit you now,fit you now ,woah-oh Cinderella,does it fit you now,Cinderella.
