CINDERELLA - Riverfront Panto 2026
In this sparkling pantomime adventure, Cinderella dreams of a brighter life far from the clutches of her outrageous stepsisters.
With the help of her best friend Buttons, a glittering Fairy Godmother and ensemble of lovable characters, her wishes come true - complete with a stunning gown, a magical transformation, and an unforgettable royal ball. But when the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella must race against time to find her happily-ever-after.
Packed with dazzling costumes, spectacular scenery, cheeky villains, and heaps of audience participation, it delivers all the magic you’d expect from The Riverfront’s pantomime - the perfect festive family treat and the fairy godmother of all pantos!
