Cinderella

Author(s): Morgan Brind Company: Derby LIVE and Little Wolf Entertainment

Ugly Sisters Roddy Peters and Morgan Brind

Everyone gets to go to the ball with Derby's annual pantomime spectacular.

Cinderella has big dreams, but with her sisters digging their ugly heels in, it’s going to take help from her best friend Buttons and a little magic from her Fairy Godmother if she’s going to make it to the ball and her happy ever after before midnight.

Featuring sparkling sets, fabulous frocks, side-splitting slapstick and not one but two outrageous dames, this is an unmissable treat for the whole family.
