Bonnie Lythgoe Presents CINDERELLA

By:
Will Cinderella meet the man of her dreams? Will Prince Charming win our heroine's heart? Or will the Ugly Sisters stop 'Cinders' from going to the ball? All will be revealed at the beautiful State Theatre when Bonnie Lythgoe Productions presents the most magical musical panto of them all, 'CINDERELLA', opening on Friday 1 July and running amok until Sunday 17 July.

Casting is still underway. However after exhaustive auditions Bonnie is proud to announce she has cast 'Real Housewife of Melbourne' favourite GINA LIANO who will play 'Wicked Stepmother'; JIMMY REES (aka Jimmy Giggle) as 'Dandini' and fabulous newcomer JAIME HADWEN will play the role of 'Cinderella'.

The magical rags to riches fairytale story of CINDERELLA will feature sumptuous glittering sets, gorgeous fairy-tale costumes, contemporary songs, fabulous dance numbers, riotous comedy magic and bags of audience participation.

Bonnie Lythgoe Productions is Australia's biggest family musical pantomime producer. CINDERELLA is the third panto produced by Bonnie Lythgoe after the success of Snow White Winter Family Musical in 2014 followed by Aladdin and His Wondrous Lamp last year. Bonnie has been staging pantos in the USA for a number of years. Well known for her creativity and involvement in global television hits "American Idol" and "So You Think You Can Dance", Bonnie is dedicated to bringing affordable theatre to families across Australia by presenting fun, musical theatre that the whole family from the age of 3 to 103 can enjoy.
