You shall go to the ball as pantomime returns in spectacular style to the New Theatre, Peterborough!

Cinderella is the true Fairy Godmother of all pantomimes – and this Christmas we’re sprinkling the stage with magic, mischief and mayhem for everyone to enjoy whether you’re aged 5 or 105.

Renowned across the region for its quality and creativity, the Peterborough pantomime delivers an original script, brand-new music and all the classic comedy you love – Wrapped up in a production bursting with heart, humour and sparkle.

For over a thousand years, the timeless tale of Cinderella has captured imaginations. Poor Cinders is bullied by her two outrageous Stepsisters and condemned to a life of scrubbing and serving, while they shop till they drop and dance the night away! But with a little help from her best friend Buttons – and some truly magical intervention from our fabulous Fairy Godmother (who this year just happens to be our Pantomime Dame!) – anything is possible.

Armed with a pumpkin, a handful of mice and a wave of a wand, can Cinderella swap the pantry for the palace? Will she outwit her wicked sisters, make it to the Royal Ball and win the heart of the dashing Prince Charming before the clock strikes midnight?

And most importantly . . . will the glass slipper fit?

There’s only one way to find out!

Packed with all the traditional pantomime ingredients you adore – audience participation, belly laughs, boos and hisses, and a few sparkling surprises along the way – this is the must-see festive treat that will have the whole family cheering for more.
