“ … beautifully formed, this is not just a great Christmas show, but a great night for all times and all ages.” – The Guardian

Featuring original music, filled with humor, dance and a genuine love story, CINDERELLA: A Fairytale will appeal to audiences young and old. As we meet little Ella, her father is teaching his daughter the names and calls of all the forest birds. They enjoy a happy life together … until he remarries and her life is upended. Surrounded by cruel relations, Ella’s only allies are a flock of very clever and magical birds.

This imaginative new version of the classic folktale includes many fanciful twists: the actor playing the Father transforms into the scheming Stepmother (in a nod to British panto tradition), the Prince is a geeky, asthmatic bird-watcher, and the slipper is a Doc Marten-type boot that shimmers!
