Cinderella’s Story Takes a Different Turn
Steps reimagines the familiar fairy tale through Lilith, voiced by Ali Wong, who is tired of living in Cinderella’s shadow.
After stealing the Fairy Godmother’s magic wand, Lilith and her sister Margot, voiced by Stephanie Hsu, hijack the Royal Ball. Their actions derail the story and leave the kingdom under the rule of Priscilla, a schemer voiced by Nikki Glaser.
To put things right, Lilith must join forces with Cinderella, voiced by Amanda Seyfried. Their journey involves biker trolls, pursuing henchmen and the Screaming Woods, with the fate of the kingdom—and their relationship—at stake.
Bette Midler voices the Fairy Godmother. The ensemble also includes Daniel Radcliffe, Young Mazino, Peter Dinklage and Damian Priest.
JENNIE Joins the Soundtrack
The companion album brings together pop performers, film talent and composers.
Alongside her vocal contribution, Rose Gray serves as a songwriter with Tranter. Kris Bowers, whose work includes Bridgerton, composed the film’s score.
The soundtrack announcement adds another dimension to the film’s fairy-tale adventure, with JENNIE’s “Someone to Hold” among its featured songs.
