Pantomime 2019 – Cinderella
You’re invited to the ball this Christmas as The Cresset and Premier Pantomimes present the most magical pantomime of all – Cinderella!

With an all-star cast including audience favourite and panto veteran Ricky Groves (EastEnders) as Buttons, Mitch Hewer (Skins, Casualty) as Prince Charming and Lily Shires stepping into the shoes of Cinderella, plus Peterborough’s favourite dame Zach Vanderfelt and best baddie ever Lawrence Stubbings as The Ugly Sisters, Cinderella is a festive fairytale the whole family will enjoy!
