Cinderella panto tickets are on sale now – oh yes they are!
WE may have only just entered spring, but the first panto date of the year has been annonced – oh yes it has!
After year-on-year recordbreaking success, Exeter Northcott and Le Navet Bete team up once again to bring a modern take on the classic story of Cinderella, from November 28 to January 5, and tickets are on sale now.
In a plot to overthrow the kingdom, Cinderella’s wicked stepmother has cast eternal winter over Exeter. Advised by the mysterious Sage, the prince throws a ball to save his kingdom.
Will Cinderella be able to break free and go to the ball with the help of her trusty sidekicks Buttons and Poppers? Will her fairy godmother find the time to sprinkle some magic in between all her costume changes? And, in the end, will true love conquer all?
Martin Berry, creative director and joint chief executive at Exeter Northcott, said: “We are working hard to make this year’s panto the biggest and most sparkly yet! Cinderella is being written especially for our audiences, by the Northcott team and the brilliant Le Navet Bete, so there is no doubt it will be a lot of fun for everyone.
“Set right here in the glorious city of Exeter, we are making a show that speaks to modern audiences whilst delivering the
