In Sinderella, Jim Davidson plays the part of Buttons, manservant to Baron Hard-on (a phallic play on the Hardup surname normally used in the pantomime; played by Charlie Drake) and best friend of the Baron's daughter Cinderella (Dianne Lee, half of folk/pop duo Peters and Lee), who also has to put up with abuse from Cinderella's stepsisters, Camilla ( Roger Kitter) and Madonna (Dave Lee), but later receives guidance from the Fairy Godmother (Mia Carla). Meanwhile, the well-hung Prince Charming (Jess Conrad), with the help of his assistant Dandini (David Kristian), organises a ball to try and find a potential wife. Swapped Roles: Also invokes the Mistaken for Servant trope in which Prince Charming decides early on to switch places with Dandini. Conceived in Charlie Drake's dressing room at the Theatre Royal in Margate in 1990 in front of Drake and Ward Baker, the show initially featured Davidson as Buttons, Drake as Baron Hardon, Dianne Lee as Cinderella, Jess Conrad as Prince Charming, David Kristian as Dandini, Mia Carla as The Fairy Godmother, and Roger Kitter and Dave Lee as Camilla and Madonna the stepdaughters, all of whom had played either their own roles or comparable roles in civilised versions of the play. The show utilised several extra-large vibrators and a pantomime horse with a large penis as set-pieces, and the Fairy Godmother was flatulent. This version was mounted between 1993 and 1996 at various British theatres, and received largely negative critical reception. SINDERELLA - A Scottish Romp".
