Annual Christmas pantomime Cinderella with live music, spectacular costumes, vibrant sets and special effects at Devonshire Park Theatre.
Cinderella opens at Devonshire Park Theatre on Friday 11 December, running through to Sunday 17 January. It's the annual Eastbourne pantomime, and this year it's the same team behind the town's hit Peter Pan taking on the story. The production is set to live music, with costumes, sets and special effects. Cinders is left at home by her sisters and can only get ready for the ball with the buffoonery of Buttons and the magic of her Fairy Godmother, in a show that leans on innuendo and plenty of audience participation.
Ella Bracci plays Cinderella, with Martyn Knight as Dame Fairy and Morgan Phillips as Buttons. Holly Lineton is Prince Charming, and the Hardup family is played by Lewes Roberts (Flora), Chris Aukett (Marge) and Nicholas Pound (Baron Hardup), with Rebecca Sandt as Dandini. Chris Jordan wrote and directed the production, Nikki Trow did the choreography and Hudson Crowe took musical direction.
