What is Steps about?
Think you know Cinderella’s “evil” stepsisters? Think again.
Tired of living in Cinderella’s shadow, Lilith (Ali Wong) steals the Fairy Godmother’s magic wand and hijacks the Royal Ball with her sister Margot (Stephanie Hsu). Bette Midler voices the Fairy Godmother.
Their plan breaks the Cinderella story as we know it. It also dooms the kingdom to the tyrannical rule of Priscilla (Nikki Glaser), a villainous schemer who swoops in and snatches the throne.
Now, Lilith must team up with Cinderella (Amanda Seyfried) to fight biker trolls, outrun evil henchmen and escape the Screaming Woods. Their epic quest is to save the kingdom but, most importantly, their relationship.
