Cinderella

About Cinderella

Cinderella returns to Sadler’s Wells Theatre this Christmas for New Adventures’ 30th Anniversary celebration of Matthew Bourne’s production. Set in London during the Second World War, it follows a wartime romance between Cinderella and a young RAF pilot, whose meeting leads to a magical night before they are separated by the Blitz.

The production features Lez Brotherston’s Olivier Award-winning designs, Neil Austin’s Olivier Award-winning lighting, video and projection design by Duncan McLean, and sound design by Paul Groothuis, set against Prokofiev’s score and the sights and sounds of war-torn London.

Matthew Bourne’s interpretation presents the classic fairytale as a tribute to London during wartime, with storytelling centred on love, loss and the pressures of a city under bombardment.

Running time: 2 hours 20 minutes, including 2 intervals.
