* EasilyForgiven: The stepmother and her daughters rarely get punished in any incarnation, including the Broadway show...the sole exception being the 90's film where they are left outside the gate at Cinderella's wedding, implying they do not get to share in her happy ending. Somewhat justified in that this is being faithful to Perrault's version of the story.

The 60's version is also a little better about this; among other things the prince forces them to bow down before Cinderella, but they presumably are forgiven in the end.
