Panto is coming home! After School of Rock pushed back its West End dates a few months, Cinderella will play the London Palladium this Christmas. The family classic is scheduled to run December 9 through January 15, 2017.
The London Palladium was synonymous with lavish annual pantomimes from 1948-1987, and attracted some of the biggest stars of the day, including Julie Andrews, Sir Cliff Richard, Peter Sellers, Cilla Black and Ronnie Corbett, but the festive cornerstone has been absent for almost thirty festive seasons.
The production is set to be directed by Michael Harrison and Andrew Wright. More details, including casting, will be announced soon.
