Acclaimed director Melly Still (Coram Boy, Watership Down) returns to the Brothers Grimm's story to create a spellbinding family show for all the family.
It is winter. The King has declared that there will be a glittering festival of music, magic and dancing so that his son might find the girl of his dreams. Everyone is invited to his astonishing palace. But Cinderella won’t be going to the Ball unless she manages to finish the impossible tasks her sisters have set her. Maybe her friends from the forest can help her?
The Lyric Hammsmith is transformed into a spine-tingling winter wonderland by a top-notch creative team including an exceptional designer, Sophia Clist, and Norwegian ice-musician, Terje Isungset.
