The countdown is on to the biggest ball of the year, and you’re all invited! This festive season, the curtain will rise at the newly refurbished Orchard Theatre welcoming audiences back with everyone’s favourite rags to riches tale with the spectacular family pantomime, Cinderella.
Cinderella will be produced by award-winning Imagine Theatre and promises to be the perfect festive treat to experience with all the family. Packed with festive sparkle, laugh-out-loud comedy, show-stopping songs and audience participation galore, Cinderella will be everything you know and love about panto and will feature a spectacular set, glittering costumes and mesmerising special effects.
Cinderella dreams of a happier life, away from the torment of her wicked stepsisters. When a magical Fairy Godmother appears at her door, Cinderella is transformed and whisked away in a pumpkin coach to the castle to dance the night away with the Prince. But when the clock strikes midnight, she flees – leaving only a glass slipper behind… Will Cinderella find her happy ever after in time?
Star casting will be announced soon, so keep your eyes peeled for some very exciting news from The Orchard Theatre for a festive season filled with magic, laughter and happily ever afters! The clock is ticking, so pop on your glad-rags and grab your tickets to the ball for the show that proves a pair of shoes really can change your life.
Be sure to secure your seats nice and early… but definitely before the clock strikes midnight!
