New tickets are now on sale for MIDNIGHT The Cinderella Musical, which is receiving five-star reviews from critics and standing ovations every night from audiences who are loving the highly-anticipated new musical now on at the Comedy Theatre in Melbourne.

Time Out Melbourne says “the magical Broadway-style musical will enchant audiences of all ages” while The Guardian notes MIDNIGHT is “bursting with vitality” and Stage Whispers described the musical as “a feast for the senses”.

The star-studded cast includes Brianna Bishop, Shane Jacobson, Thomas McGuane, Lucy Durack, Verity Hunt-Ballard and Matt Lee, with Raphael Wong, Kristie Nguy, Melanie Bird and more.
