THIS year’s Kickstart annual festive season family pantomime is a magical production of everybody’s favourite fairy tale about the kitchen maid with the heart of gold, who wins the hand of a handsome prince – Cinderella – and shows at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre from 7 December until 6 January.
With lush sets and gorgeous baroque costumes, toe-tapping songs, jokes aplenty and masses of audience participation, this is year-end family entertainment at its very best.
The show is directed by Steven Stead, designed by Greg King with choreography by Janine Bennewith, and stars Darren King and Bryan Hiles as the Ugly Sisters, Mthokozisi Zulu as Buttons, Nathan Kruger as the Prince, Lyle Buxton as Dandini and Anne-Marie Clulow as the Fairy Godmother.
