Cinderella Bournemouth @ Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre

Cinderella is back - and it’s bigger, bolder, and more brilliant than ever before.

Gather your loved ones – your family, friends, and fellow fairy tale fans - because a dazzling adventure like no other awaits. And Cinderella? You shall go to the ball!

In a land of dust and dreams, Cinderella is stuck sweeping ashes while her cruel stepsisters parade in pearls. But everything changes when a glittering Fairy Godmother appears, armed with a twinkle in her eye, a wave of her wand, and a mysterious carriage fit for a princess. With the clock ticking, can Cinderella find her courage, meet her Prince, and claim the magical life she deserves?

Stepping into the iconic glass slippers this year is much-loved Milkshake! presenter Olivia Birchenough, beloved for her warmth, humour, and natural ability to connect with young audiences.

Sprinkling some festive fairy-tale magic as the Fairy Godmother is none other than Melanie Walters, star of Gavin and Stacey. With a flick of her wand and a dash of Welsh sparkle, she’ll be dusting charm across the stage and making sure Cinderella gets to the ball in style.

Returning for his 11th year, Noel Brodie will once again take to the stage as the ever-lovable Buttons - faithful, funny, and fantastically foolish. If anyone can win Cinderella’s heart and a standing ovation, it’s him!

Get ready to be dazzled! UK Panto Award nominees and dynamic duo Jamie Morris and Tarot Joseph are set to steal the spotlight as The Fabulous Sisters. With a celebrated legacy of laughter, dazzling spectacle, and unforgettable performances, this iconic pair promises to bring unmatched energy and entertainment to the stage.

All this mischief is masterfully stitched together with a script by award-winning script writer Jon Monie. It’s smart, side-splitting, and sparkling with surprises.
