The enduring fairy tale gets a clever and contemporary makeover in this glittering stage production that features all the classic elements you remember – the pumpkin, glass slipper, masked ball … plus some unexpected and surprising new twists!

Pantos are a popular form of family theatre in the UK based on fairy or folk tales, and encourage audience participation. With its winning combination of popular songs, energetic dancing, tongue-in-cheek humour, double entendres, innuendo, pop-culture references, and outrageous costumes, Cinderella will cast its magical spell and have you cheering for the heroine and her friends and booing the evil stepmother and wicked stepsisters.

Whether you’re 9 or 99 – this show, filled with just the right amount of naughty and nice humour, is fun for the entire family. So join us at the theatre, and don’t worry – we’ll have you home well before the stroke of midnight!

Recommended for ages 5 and up.

Running time 2 hours and 30 minutes, including a 20 minute intermission
