It’s Panto time again! Cinderella hits town

ITS Panto time once again and the Lee Valley Enterprise Board is delighted to bring the most-loved fairy story of all time “Cinderella” to the stage in an hilarious, action-packed production suitable for all ages – from 3 to 93!

Riverside Park Hotel is the venue, with the panto dates as follows: Friday January 5 at 7.30pm, Saturday January 6 at 2.30pm & 7.30pm, Sunday January 7 at 2.30pm.

The lovely Cinderella is played by the very experienced Kelly Ann Healy who will bring you wonderful singing while her dreams and wishes all come true with the help of the magical fairy queen, played by Lorraine Casey. Her Prince Charming is played by Panto newcomer Donal Ó Ceallaigh who is ably assisted by his cousin Dandini – Gerard Collins. The King is played by another well-seasoned performer – Pat Kelleher who is assisted by his very dedicated secretary – Mary Lynch. Comedy in abundance is provided by the usual suspects, Jim Leahy as Dame Daisy, Ugly Sisters Roseviolet and Sweetpea played by Padraig O’ Driscoll and Kevin Moynihan with the talented Darragh Murphy as Buttons creating as much confusion as possible for the sisters.

The local postman and nosey gossip played by David Leahy also contributes to the fun, while Con Foley, the palace guard has the task of making sure the slipper fits the right foot while keeping order at the Grand Ball.

As always you will enjoy once again the much-loved chorus of tiny tots who will warm the hearts of the audience with their innocent smiles and beautiful songs. Dancing and singing to the music of the great Elvis are the teenage chorus with soloists, Martin McCarthy, Julie Dunne and Con Foley.

The Box Office at South Square Macroom opens from from 11am to 2pm on Mondays, 11am to 4:30pm on Tuesdays, 11am to 2pm on Thursdays and 11am to 4:30pm on Fridays. For further info please call 026/41174 or 087/1663395.
