Cinderella

7 September — 15 September, Lyric Theatre, QPAC

Love triumphs with a sprinkling of fairy magic.

Dancing with a handsome Prince, wearing a glittering gown in a candlelit ballroom — such fanciful dreams were only in Cinderella’s imagination.

Until the day her life of hardship is magically transformed by her Fairy Godmother! Making a dazzling entrance to the royal ball, she captures the attention of all and the heart of the Prince. Yet her beautiful dream must end at midnight, and in her haste to depart, she leaves one jewelled slipper behind…

Charming, humorous and blissfully romantic, Ben Stevenson’s acclaimed production of Cinderella is perfect fairy-tale entertainment for everyone.
