A Sheffield Theatres and Evolution Productions co-production
ORE ODUBA JOINS THE CAST OF LYCEUM PANTOMIME, CINDERELLA
Written and directed by Paul Hendy
Saturday 28 November 2026 – Sunday 3 January 2027
Sheffield Theatres and Evolution Productions announce the further cast for Cinderella at the Lyceum Theatre this Christmas: star of stage, screen and Strictly, Ore Oduba joins the Lyceum pantomime. Ore is an actor and presenter, becoming a household name when he won the fourteenth series of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing. He’s since gone on to star in musical theatre productions up and down the country, including Pretty Woman, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Young Frankenstein and more.
Ore joins CBeebies’ favourite Andy Day and the legendary Damian Williams who returns for his nineteenth year as Sheffield Theatres’ beloved, award-winning Dame. He’s brought his ‘sister’ too, played by Matt Daines. Further, final casting will be revealed soon.
Bringing the magic and sparkle to the Lyceum, Cinderella promises to be top-quality entertainment for all ages this Christmas, including an additional week of performances due to demand. The show will once again be written and directed by Paul Hendy (The Last Laugh, Aladdin) and produced by the award winning Evolution Productions, the same team behind smash-hit panto Snow White, winner of Best Pantomime 2024 at the UK Pantomime Awards.
Cinderella opens on Saturday 28 November 2026 and runs until Sunday 3 January 2027 at the Lyceum. Tickets can be booked through the Box Office in person, over the phone on 0114 249 6000 or at sheffieldtheatres.co.uk.
