The Glass Slippers is a charming alternative to a traditional Christmas pantomime and suitable for younger children aged 3+.

The performance is held in The Sterling Studio at Lighthouse Poole and because the room is much smaller than the theatre you can get up close with the cast and feel part of the show.

The 3 brilliant actors are made up of Cinderella and her parents who then go on to play different characters.  The show is a modern take on a classical tale and Cinderella hates living with her screen loving twin sisters but as the story unfolds she then finds out they’re not so bad after all.  The sisters love watching the Prince on their pads and when Cinderella meets the lonely Prince on the beach one day he pretends his name is Buttons.  There’s going to be a big party with the Prince and with the help of Cinderella’s lost mother, she receives a sparkly pair of Glass Slippers.  Will she meet the Prince and find out who he really is? You’ll have to go and find out!

I loved the likable characters, alternative ending and use of props to tell the story.  Whilst the show is promoted for children aged 3+, my 8 year old daughter was fixated and her attention never left the story.  We both thoroughly enjoyed The Glass Slipper, especially the music and singing, humour and Christmas magic.

Tutti Frutti Productions will be performing The Glass Slippers on selected dates from now until Tuesday 24th December 2024.  For more information and tickets, please visit Lighthouse Poole.
