Your carriage awaits... The Arts Theatre's spectacular family pantomime returns with the most magical rags-to-riches tale of all: CINDERELLA.

Leading the cast is Cambridge panto legend Matt Crosby, back for his 19th Arts Theatre pantomime and starring as the lovable Buttons. Joining him will be Chloe Gentles (Beauty and the Beast, The Addams Family), Harry Howle (Cinderella, Imagine Theatre) and Steven Roberts, who will be returning for his second Christmas in Cambridge after last year's performance as Sammy Goose! Completing the cast are Jack Wilcox (Singin' in the Rain), Julia J Nagle (The Sound of Music), Stuart Simons (La Cage Aux Folles) and Alex Bloomer (The Lion King, West End). Expect side-splitting jokes, sensational song and dance numbers and a sprinkling of glitter that the whole family can enjoy.

Cinderella’s humdrum life is turned upside down after a surprise visit from her Fairy Godmother whisks her into a glittering world of  glass slippers, handsome princes and enchanted pumpkins. But magic just doesn’t happen to girls like Cinderella! Can she  escape the evil schemes of her two cruel stepsisters and live happily ever after?

The creative team behind last year’s ★★★★★ ‘feathered extravaganza’ (Fairy Powered Productions) Mother Goose put a brilliantly fun Cambridge twist on the timeless tale, putting the Arts Theatre firmly on the map as the biggest and best Christmas show in town. Book today!
