A Panto That’s The Perfect Fit: Tickets for Cinderella

You shall go to the ball! Let Cinderella at the Hackney Empire sprinkle some fairy dust over your Christmas. With hilarious jokes, spellbinding song and dance numbers and plenty of glitz and glamour, this truly magical pantomime is the classic rags-to-riches romance, complete with all the panto trimmings! Directed by pantomime-dame extraordinaire Clive Rowe, Cinderella is the perfect fit for all the family this Christmas - book your tickets today or risk turning into a pumpkin!

What is the pantomime Cinderella about?

Stuck acting as a servant for her evil stepmother and her wicked ugly sisters, Cinderella dreams of adventure, romance and, most of all, freedom. When an invitation to the royal ball arrives, it may just be Cinderella’s ticket out of her humdrum life. With a sprinkling of magic from her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella puts on her glass slippers and makes her way to the party. But when the clock strikes midnight, will she have to return to the life she’s trying to leave behind?

Full of hilarious audience interaction, breathtaking costumes, catchy tunes and dazzling dance numbers, Cinderella at the Hackney Empire has all the panto magic you could want - oh yes it does! “A staple of the season...” (Lost in Theatreland), it wouldn't be Christmas without pantomime at the Hackney Empire, as the theatre have staged shows since 1988! So RSVP to the party of the year and shimmy on down to East London this Christmas for a truly spellbinding show.

Who are the cast and creative team of Cinderella?

Who shall go to the ball? Keep your eyes peeled, as casting for the production is to be announced.

Cinderella is directed by Clive Rowe. An Olivier winner, Rowe is an actor, director and renowned panto dame. You may recognise him from his roles on Tracey Beaker and in Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast, but Rowe is a true “panto institution” (Guardian) who has performed as a dame for over three decades and starred at the Hackney Empire for their past 17 pantomimes! Rowe has also directed or co-directed the show since 2021. Previous pantos directed by Rowe include Aladdin, Mother Goose, Dick Whittington and his Cat and Jack and the Beanstalk (co-directed with Tony Whittle).

Rowe has been dubbed the “best panto dame in London, probably the world” by TimeOut - make a wish that he’ll pop on his glad rags alongside his director's hat again this Christmas!
