Coming to Edinburgh this Christmas, the story we all love that has captivated audiences around the UK, Cinderella: A Fairytale!
Ella and her devoted father share a love for woodland birds and their calls, but when her father remarries, everything changes. Now Ella's feathered friends feel like her only true family.
Until one day, a mysterious boy stumbles upon Ella's tree hideout with an invitation to The Queen's Celebratory Ball! Can Ella make it to the ball in time? And is there more to her bird friends than meets the eye?
Sally Cookson's celebrated adaptation of Cinderella will delight the whole family in a new production from The Lyceum. With music and puppetry, this festive story adds a magical flutter of wings to happily ever after.

"I went to see Cinderella: A Fairytale at the Lyceum Theatre with my family. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. I thought the songs were really good and would like to hear them again. I thought the Queen was really funny when she danced with the dog 🐕, and thought it was funny when the bird pooped on the evil stepmother. The Prince's outfits were really cool, and his lines were good. I wasn't a fan of the stepsister toe chopping scene though! I would definitely take my friends to see it."
Make sure you have booked in for the latest DRAMA CLASSES at Mix Up Theatre throughout Scotland :)
