On the January 8th episode of ABC's DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES entitled 'What's to Discuss, Old Friend', with a gun at her side, Bree prepares to end it all now that her friends have abandoned her and her life continues to spiral further into despair.

This sparkling new version of the classic fairytale Cinderella is a joy for adults and kids alike. In fact, it's done in the style of a British Panto (short for Pantomime), which has nothing to do with silent mime, but is classified as a winter comedy with music hall or vaudeville sensibility and enough audience participation to make it raucous and fun for the entire family. The Lythgoe Family's new entertainment @ the El Portal is certainly that, judging by audience reactions the day I attended. Everyone was cheering, booing and participating in top form making for a fun-filled afternoon.

The age-old fairytale of Cinderella is set to modern music, including Kelly Clarkson's 'Breakaway,' Michael Buble's 'Just Haven't Met You Yet,' and Jennifer Lopez' 'Let's Get Loud.' This U.S. premiere panto has a comical twist and incredible magic such as a pumpkin turning into a carriage with real live ponies right before your very eyes!
