“The comedy is on another level…the best pantomime in Exeter yet.”
~ Devon Live
Nominee for Best Secondary Lead (Aaron Dart) - The UK Pantomime Awards 2025
After year-on-year record-breaking success, Exeter Northcott and Le Navet Bete team up once again to bring you this fabulous modern take on a classic story. With laugh-out-loud fun, great music, stunning costumes and sets, and amazing special effects, you’ll soon be telling everyone about the unmissable family panto Cinderella.
In a plot to overthrow the kingdom, Cinderella’s Stepmother, the Countess, has cast eternal winter over Exeter. Advised by the mysterious Sage, the Prince throws a ball to save his kingdom. Will Cinderella be able to break free and go to the ball with the help of her trusty sidekicks Buttons and Poppers? Will her Fairy Godmother find the time to sprinkle some magic in between all her costume changes? And, in the end, will true love conquer all?
This show is a Le Navet Bete and Exeter Northcott Theatre co-production and is written by Le Navet Bete with Martin Berry.
Cinderella was first performed on Thursday 28th November 2024 at the Exeter Northcott Theatre, Exeter, Devon, UK.
