What is Ella's big chance about?
In 1920s London, Ella lives above her father’s dress shop with her cruel new stepmother and lazy stepsisters. When they leave her behind, Ella finds comfort in her work, her loyal friend Buttons and the exciting world of jazz-age fashion. Then a grand party gives her the chance to shine, catching the eye of both the charming Duke of Arc and the kind delivery boy. But Ella is determined to choose her own happy ending in this lively, stylish retelling of Cinderella.
