The perfect family treat!
A glittering, fairytale pantomime with dazzling costumes and lots of fun and laughter, Cinderella has it all.
Cinderella opens at CIRCA Theatre on Saturday 17th November at 8pm
Starring a fabulous Fairy Godmother, and two, hilarious dames - the sensational Ugly Sisters, a sweet Cinders, reluctant Prince Charming, a pumpkin coach and a happy-ever-after ending Cinderella is great fun for everyone.
In the best of panto traditions there are lots of topical jokes, comic antics, bright lively music, dazzling costumes and of course, plenty of opportunities for the audience to get involved and join the fun. CINDERELLA is a magical, musical treat that sparkles for young and old. It is the perfect way to celebrate the festive season.

“Pantos are about fun … full of magic and music …. Go, laugh, spot the mice and sing the Pantomime Whirl – you know you want to!” – CapTimes
“Surrounded by giggling kids, grinning parents and guffawing oldies, only the most killjoy of critics would have failed to have a good time” - Harry Ricketts, Listener
