TRADITIONAL and magical pantomime is coming to the Wellesley Theatre in Wellington next week with Cinderella.

Wellington Pantomime Group are putting the finishing touches to the production and tickets are selling fast.

Alice Luke is playing the title role and will be joined on stage by Richard Matravers as Buttons. Holly Skittrell and Hannah Green play Prince Charming and Dandini, while Charlie Hughes and Megan Leslie bring the magic to the panto as the Fairy Godmother and Minime.

The debts that Baron Hard Up (Paul Caddick) has incurred are settled by the evil step-mother (Penny Bradnum) who he has married recently in Spain.

The step-mother brings with her two, rather ugly, daughters, played by Michael Cole and David Waring. The broker’s men, Holly Knowles and Keira Chard, round out the principle cast, with support from a wonderful chorus and dance troupe.

The award-winning five-piece panto band will be backing the talented cast, and entertaining audiences with a great variety of songs, old and new.
