CUADC/Footlights Pantomime 2026: Cinderella

Cinderella longs for the simple things in life: a loving family, a welcoming community, and a bedroom without rats. But in the Kingdom of Newtopia, everyone except her best friend Buttons, is too busy to stop for a quick chat, say hello, or even make eye contact. And so, when the King announces a lavish ball for Newtopia's richest, Cinderella isn't too impressed - but everything changes when she meets the shy yet charming prince outside the palace gardens. If Cinderella wants to reunite with the Prince and defeat the Wicked Stepmother’s wickedest plan of all, she’ll need a miracle. Will her wish be granted? Get your festive fix of fun, fantasy, and fits of laughter in this year’s CUADC/Footlights Pantomime: Cinderella.
