Cinderella: The Rockin’ Panto is written and directed by Peter Rowe. It is running at artsdepot from Saturday 30 November – Sunday 5 January 2020.
Think fairy godmothers meet top of the pops in this festive musical extravaganza with all the hallmarks of a traditional fun-filled and family friendly panto – as Cinders gets ready to Rock Around the Clock and Shake a Tail Feather at the ball…where hopefully for the ugly step sisters at least it will be Raining Men when they are In the Midnight Hour!
It’s not easy being the Mayor, Baron Hardup, with Prince Charming due in town for a Royal visit and a staff of only two – his beautiful, feisty daughter Cinderella and the loyal and loveable Buttons. But when his lonely hearts ad is answered by the mysterious Rubella De Zees who brings along her two dangerous daughters Hernia and Verruca, it seems he’s far more than she bargained for…for in Panto Land anything goes.
In the title role of Cinderella is Chioma Uma currently starring as Hattie in the acclaimed production of Kiss Me Kate at Watermill Theatre, Newbury. This marks Chioma’s first leading role since graduating from Rose Bruford earlier this year…playing alongside her are Daniel Carter-Hope and Tom Connor as step-sisters Verruca and Hernia; Guy Freeman as everybody’s favourite Panto good guy Buttons; Georgina White as Rubella De Zees and Steve Simmonds as Cinderella’s dad, Baron Hardup. Cinderella’s much loved and needed Fairy Godmother is performed by Nicola Bryan while Chris Vinceplays love interest Prince Charming and Samuel Pope as his best friend, Dandini… with Sheridan Lloyd as the Royal Messenger completing the talented musical line-up.
Packed full of songs to sing along to and peppered with a good dose of panto sparkle and slapstick – all performed by this gifted group of actor-musicians – Cinderella: The Rockin’ Panto has something for everybody. Expect two and a half hours of Christmas cheer, musical madness and a toe-tapping treat for all the family.
