CINDERELLA, YOU SHALL GO TO THE…CITY VARIETIES MUSIC HALL
Granted, it is only a matter of months since we were heckling Abanazer and howling at Widow Twankey’s corny gags, but with the spirit of Christmas still coursing through our veins, City Varieties is pleased to announce that Cinderella will get the Rock ‘n’ Roll Pantomime treatment for 2018.
Leeds audiences are invited to don their glass slippers, board their pumpkin carriage and head to the famous music hall for the now-legendary festive treat. A hit with children and adults alike, Cinderella is guaranteed to have audiences dancing in their seats to a panoply of pop, rock and soul hits, and beating off the boulders in the illustrious Leeds ‘boulder fight’… and all before the stroke of midnight.
“Our Rock ’n’ Roll Pantos have been extremely popular since they were first introduced in 2011,” said Ian Sime, General Manager at City Varieties. “They have grown year on year and have now become a Christmas tradition for families in Leeds and beyond.”
A very different format to the traditional Christmas pantomime, Rock ’n’ Roll Pantos are billed as a hilarious, high-speed show that feature a talented troupe of actor-musicians who perform all the classic hit songs and music live on stage.
“One of the secrets of its success lies with its cast of actor-musicians who waste no time in developing a great rapport with the audience in the intimate atmosphere of this historic old theatre. Full of audience participation you can cheer the goodies, hiss the baddie and shout until you are hoarse and that’s what pantomime is all about.” Liz Coggins, Yorkshire Evening Post (Aladdin, 2017)
