Cinderella is the Lyric Hammersmith’s big family pantomime this Christmas, a fresh take on the best-loved fairy tale of them all. It is written by Joel Horwood, whose stage version of The Ocean at the End of the Lane won wide praise and who is back at the Lyric after the theatre’s acclaimed Aladdin, and it is directed by Robin Belfield.
As midnight approaches in the heart of Hammersmith, expect the full panto package - rousing songs, riotous laughs and the mischievous, unexpected spin the Lyric is famous for bringing to a classic. When the shoe fits, a fairytale begins.
It is a warm, sparkling seasonal outing designed for all the family, recommended for children of six and above.
