Throughout the show, fog (and bubbles) were used to enhance the magic. The biggest scenes with fog were the ball and the various transformations. I utilized three machines under the set, running them through fog chillers I made to create the low-lying fog effect. Due to the set arrangement and limited hiding spots for a fog machine and cooler contraption, I angled each of the machines towards the wings, with one remaining in the center. This allowed the fog to fully cover the stage without bare pockets.

For Cinderella, I coordinated 276 props, which ranged from two flowers for each ensemble member to a comedic horse that was able to be ridden. I paper machéd two heads, a horse and a giant, the giant could be worn as a mask. We utilized three props tables; one for weapons with basket storage underneath, and one on either side of the stage. Then my team worked with the set team to create an airport style system for how larger items such as the house and the interior set up would fit, along with solo appearance items like the carriage and the horse.
