“I give it 4 stars without a doubt, if only I could have grabbed one or two treats” said our young reviewer when he came out of Cinderella.
Indeed, what’s
not to love: sparkle aplenty, popular tunes that get little girls and their
mothers dancing - sweets flung across the theatre, magical tricks (really),
precious “he's behind you” moments and
(spoiler!) snowflakes falling from the sky.
Cinderella has
all the ingredients of a popular family Christmas show. Wistfully directed by
Ellen McDougall with a clever double entendre script from Tom Wells, you are in for a
entertaining evening that will work for adults and children alike.
Featuring a lost
glittery pink Converse, drag queen stepsisters Booty and Licious (Matt Sutton
and Peter Caulfield in great form), a charming and perfectly bland Prince Charming (Karl Queensborough) and a wicked step
mother in a very wicked push chair, this Cinderella is set in a modern day
London where magic dresses come from Primark and best friends root for the
X Factor.
If panto is your
thing, don’t delay. If you are not convinced, trust the Lyric Hammersmith with
its long experience in the matter to offer you a perfectly enjoyable evening. With a few of
the first nights already sold out, get your hands on these tickets early and
don't miss
