Cinderella is the hilarious family pantomime suitable for all ages, with tons of slapstick comedy and stunning musical numbers that you are guaranteed to be singing for days afterwards.

Cast News! Halifax’s favourite Dame, Adam Stafford will return this year as Nurse Brenda Brighouse alongside the hilarious Nathan Morris as Buttons. They will be joined on stage for an extra splash of panto magic from duo Mathew Pomeroy and Natasha Lamb (aka The Conjurors) who will play Cinderella’s Fairy Godparents. With further casting to be announced they will also be joined by a local junior ensemble to bring you all the usual panto fun, frolics and slosh! Kieran Morris will return this year in the role of Prince Charming, ready to woo his Cinderella Emma Kirk, despite the meddling of her wicked stepsisters Tasha Shanade and Siobhan Diffin
