The theatrical performances were a huge success.
Over two weeks they performed "Cinderella" three times with many people coming to see it more than once. Many people attended the premiere due to its publicity and advertisement, while the next two showings had a spontaneous rise in crowds. There were even subjects who came to City Hall to enquire about the next performance.
This left Roland feeling overjoyed. Everyone had been completely fascinated by the story. In fact, there had been almost no-one to cry out in objection, asking, "Why does a witch help Cinderella?" Next month he would show "The Cock Cries at Midnight", a play whose audience was mainly comprised of poor subjects. He did not know what the serfs would think about the witches helping them in the show.
