It is one of the most magical stories that has stood the test of time. For generations there is one pantomime that everyone loves, and it is back at the Pavilion Theatre, Glasgow. It’s the classic rags to riches fairy tale that enchants all ages: The Magical Adventures of Cinderella. With an all star cast, starring, Liam Dolan as the silly love struck Buttons, Holly Jack as Cinderella, Stephen Purdon as Boabini, Grado as Gradina, (who are guaranteed to be two of the Ugliest Sisters you have ever seen), Joyce Falconer as the Baroness, Clark Stewart as “Daddy” Baron, Alyson Orr as the Magical Fairy Godmother, Chris Scougal as Prince Charming and Chris Taylor as the Trickster Dandini. Featuring, as always in a Pavilion panto, sing-a-long songs, plenty of silliness, lots of laugh out loud comedy, traditional audience participation and the enchanting, magical costumes and scenery, it is guaranteed to make your panto experience unforgettable! The Clock is ticking, so be sure to join them for a ball at this year’s sensational, affordable, family panto.
