Cinderella

About Cinderella

Cinderella at Sadler’s Wells Theatre is New Adventures’ 30th Anniversary celebration of one of Matthew Bourne’s best-known productions. Set in London during the Second World War, it reworks the classic fairytale as a wartime love story, following a chance meeting between Cinderella and a young RAF pilot as the Blitz brings their night together to an abrupt end.

The production brings together Lez Brotherston’s Olivier Award-winning designs, lighting by Olivier Award-winning Neil Austin, video and projection designs by Duncan McLean, and sound design by Paul Groothuis. It is staged to Prokofiev’s score, with the sights and sounds of war-torn London woven into the storytelling.

Duration: 2 hours 20 minutes, including 2 intervals.
