“I give it 4 stars without a doubt, if only I could have grabbed one or two treats” said our young reviewer when he came out of Cinderella.
Indeed, what’s not to love: sparkle aplenty, popular tunes that get little girls and their mothers dancing - sweets flung across the theatre, magical tricks (really), precious “he's behind you” moments and (spoiler!) snowflakes falling from the sky.
Cinderella has all the ingredients of a popular family Christmas show. Wistfully directed by Ellen McDougall with a clever double entendre script from Tom Wells, you are in for a entertaining evening that will work for adults and children alike.
Featuring a lost glittery pink Converse, drag queen stepsisters Booty and Licious (Matt Sutton and Peter Caulfield in great form), a charming and perfectly bland Prince Charming (Karl Queensborough) and a wicked step mother in a very wicked push chair, this Cinderella is set in a modern day London where magic dresses come from Primark and best friends root for the X Factor.
If panto is your thing, don’t delay. If you are not convinced, trust the Lyric Hammersmith with its long experience in the matter to offer you a perfectly enjoyable evening. With a few of the first nights already sold out, get your hands on these tickets early and don't miss
