‘Anyone looking for superior family-friendly December fare that doesn't include the words "It's behind you" should set their sat-navs for Hammersmith.’ Evening Standard

It is winter.

The King has declared that there will be a glittering festival of music, magic and dancing so that his son might find the girl of his dreams. Everyone is invited to his astonishing palace.

BUT…

Cinderella won’t be going to the Ball - unless she manages to finish the impossible tasks her sisters have set her. Maybe her friends from the forest can help her?
 
Melly Still, the acclaimed director of Coram Boy and Watership Down, returns to the original story by the Brothers Grimm to create a spellbinding show for the whole family to enjoy.

With a top-notch creative team including an exceptional designer, Sophia Clist, and Norwegian ice-musician, Terje Isungset, the Lyric will be transformed into a spine-tingling winter wonderland to make Cinderella the only show to see this Christmas.
