About the show
Andrew Lloyd Webber casts a spell over the West End as he brings a new version of Cinderella to London. Rewriting the classic tale for a modern audience, the musical is guaranteed to sweep audiences off their feet when it opens at the Gillian Lynne Theatre.
Cinderella is the well-loved tale of an orphan who finds true love against the odds. Bullied by her stepmother and stepsisters and forced to wait on them hand and foot, she longs to escape her isolated life. When a grand ball approaches and a Fairy Godmother appears, it looks like all of Cinderella’s dreams might come true.
This new version of Cinderella was developed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, and with Killing Eve showrunner Emerald Fennell on board to write the book, promises a compelling twist on the well-known story.
Carrie Hope Fletcher stars as Cinderella, having already stepped into the lead character's glass slippers during workshops. Victoria Hamilton-Barritt (The View UpStairs; In the Heights) co-stars as Stepmother.
Fletcher is a WhatsOnStage Award winner and star of West End shows including Heathers and The Addams Family. She most recently starred as Fantine in the Les Misérables staged concert, continuing in the role at the newly re-opened Sondheim Theatre.
The musical is directed by Laurence Connor (London Palladium’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat), with a book Emerald Fennell (Killing Eve; Promising Young Woman), lyrics by David Zippel (City of Angels), music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and choreography by JoAnn Hunter.
With an exciting and fresh creative team, Cinderella at the Gillian Lynne Theatre is sure to be a dazzling addition to the West End. Catch this hotly anticipated musical from March 2021.
