Port Dover: “Cinderella - The Panto” opens November 28 in Port Dover

Monday, November 25, 2024

Cinderella – The Panto: where glass slippers meet pumpkin chariots, and a Fairy Godmother moonlights as a life coach for mice. In this whimsical spectacle, the clock strikes midnight, but not before Cinderella swaps her ballgown for some tattered rags and her tiara for a scrunchie. The Ugly Stepsisters compete in a high-stakes dance-off, and the Prince insists on using a rudimentary GPS to find the mysterious shoe owner. With talking mice, disco balls, and a pumpkin spice carriage, this pantomime proves that happily ever after is just a glitter bomb away! Great fun for the whole family this holiday season.

Directed by Jonathan Ellul:

"We are so excited to celebrate our second annual Panto in Port Dover & Port Colborne, especially after the wonderful feedback we received from last year’s Jack and the Beanstalk. It has been a joyous journey bringing this timeless fairy tale to life, and I couldn't be more proud of the incredible cast and crew who have poured their hearts into this production.

"Pantomime is a cherished tradition that invites laughter, creativity, and engagement from everyone involved. This year, we aim to blend classic storytelling with a fresh twist, ensuring that Cinderella captivates both young and young-at-heart members of our audience. You can expect plenty of laughter, colourful costumes, and a touch of magic that only live theatre can provide!"
