Cinderella

Cinderella, A new stage adaptation of the popular fairytale by Matt Beames with Lyrics by Kayleigh Benham.

A witty updating of the classic Cinderella story for our times. As the feast of Midwinter approaches, the King wishes to find a suitable partner for his eldest son and heir to the throne, Prince Arren.

He decrees a Midwinter Ball and all across the land his excited people prepare for the big celebration. But in a small shoe shop close to the palace, one young woman sits at her workbench, carefully making shoe after shoe after shoe…

Poor Cinderella has so much work to do, she can’t hope to go to the Ball, however much she might wish to… but sometimes dreams really do come true!

"No matter how difficult the journey, the right pair of shoes will get you where you need to be.”
