Cinderella and the Crystal SlipperPaperback, 31 August 2018

This bright, new Cinderella pantomime script puts a number of fresh spins on the story, while at the same time delivering a traditional family panto with all the usual trimmings. It's crammed with fast, snappy wordplay, accessible modern references and hilarious slapstick routines. There's something for all the family! The emphasis is very much on comedy, which is provided by the Ugly Sisters as well as a daft duo of party planners called Mr Muggsy and Mr Puggsy who orchestrate the Grand Ball at the palace as well as spending most of their time trying to escape the romantic clutches of the Ugly Sisters. Audiences will love the messy wine tasting routine, the "Skellington in the Cupboard" sketch in the haunted bedroom, and Buttons' hilarious vocal warm-up routine "Har! Yar! Bibberty, bobberty, fiddly fish!" You'll all go home saying it!
