Play to the Crowd
Cinderella
A Traditional Family Pantomime
Written & Directed by James Barry
Music by Simon Slater
This year's panto is a magical retelling of the greatest fairytale of them all.
From the same team behind our record breaking production of The Wizard of Oz, Cinderella promises to be our greatest Christmas production ever!
With original songs, loads of corny gags, audience participation and some surprising twists to the tale, the whole family is bound to have a ball!
Cinderella is kindly supported by Paris Smith
"I have to say that Cinderella is probably the best [panto] I’ve seen."
"These are two hours I hope to remember always."
