Cinderella-ish is a play that Tohru Honda and her classmates performed.
The obvious miscast, ranging from Saki as Cinderella to Tohru as the cruel stepsister to Yuki as the Fairy Godmother, made the script writer resort to tearing up and rewriting the entire play to make it fit the cast; rather then recast it. (The Prince Yuki Fan Club is to blame due to using their numbers to put Yuki in the role they want while wishing to break Tohru's kindness by giving her the role of a cruel person; Saki's casting was more a "casualty of war" result.)
Cinderella wore pure black at Saki's behest, and Mine Kuramae's wholehearted approval, and the only things in her interest were her stepsister (Tohru) and yakiniku (barbecued meat). The stepsister was pure and loving, while the stepmother was the same as in the original story. Prince Charming was turned into a moody, over-reacting slump who didn't want to have the entire ball to begin with. The prince's friend was, in Prince Charming's opinion, "an infuriating sack of skin," but is actually just a prince who wants Prince Charming to get married already. The costumes were made by Ayame Sohma and Mine Kuramae, much to the initial displeasure of the two other Sohmas.
After the play, Hanajima met Kazuma Sohma, and developed a crush on him, terrifying Kyo at the thought of Hanajima and his "father" Shishou.

Character Breaking[]
In various parts of the play, the cast accidentally broke character in some of their scenes
- Arisa Uotani: In the middle, Arisa broke character by shouting "Come see me, dammit!" into the audience due to the prince's (Kyo's) refusal to try and search for Cinderella (Hanajima) with the glass slipper. She was speaking of Kureno Sohma in her outburst.
- Tohru Honda: Tohru also broke character for a moment near the end, saying she would be unhappy that the Prince would be locked up in a castle until he dies, speaking about how she didn't want Kyo to be locked up in the Cat's isolated room.
- Kyo Sohma: After rejecting the dance with Tohru, Kyo tries to stop her, but fails. When he returns to Arisa, he says, "Why am I doing this again?" while Arisa thinks, "Stop looking depressed on stage."
