About Cinderella

Doncaster's timeless family pantomime returns in 2025!

Written by Neil Hurst and directed by Tess Seddon.

Kind-hearted Cinderella suffers at the hands of her wicked, bumbling stepsisters. When they're invited to a royal ball, poor Cinderella is left behind. But with a wave of her Fairy Godmother's magic wand, can all of her dreams come true? 

With dazzling costumes, sweeping sets and plenty of magnificent music, we invite you to Doncaster's most extraordinary family pantomime. 

Let your glass slippers glisten and polish your pumpkins, because you shall go to the ball! 

(Oh yes, you shall!)
