Make a date for a midnight dance with destiny!
Opening on Fri 29 Nov, this year’s pantomime is the much-loved story of Cinderella. Down on her luck and cursed with evil stepsisters, Cinderella’s destiny is in the hands of her best friend Buttons, the magic of a Fairy Godmother and a clock that strikes midnight.
Pantomime comedy, calamities and chaos from larger-than-life colourful characters help tell the story, with the end of act one cumulating in a spectacular scene where Cinderella magically transforms from her rags to Princess riches and steps into the carriage that will take her to Prince Charming’s ball.
Pantomime producer Paul Holman said:
“Cinderella is a lavish production with dazzling costumes, sparkling jewels, and the splendour of the palace ballroom which sets the backdrop for what must be one of the most well-known dance pairings in panto history! We’re thrilled to be back at the Winding Wheel Theatre, the perfect home for this specular pantomime.”
Audiences can look forward to a fast-paced script that combines classic traditional pantomime sketches with on-trend comedy references, electrifying choreography with different genres of dance and a live band, making Cinderella the toe tapping, hand clapping, laugh along story for all the family to enjoy this Christmas time.
Casting for this year’s panto is underway with an announcement to be made soon!
