Returning as pantomime dame for his eleventh year running, Royal Court and Shakespeare’s Globe actor, TERENCE FRISCH will bring sparkles and sass in his starring role as Fanny G, as well as merriment for the whole family!
It’s New Year’s Eve in Watford and the countdown has begun for the year 2000! Cinderella loves a good boogey and, as an avid music listener, is never one to miss a beat when she grooves alone in her cellar that is, until her dodgy CD Walkman gives out.....Meanwhile, over at the Palace, the King is set to throw the party of the century in his search to find the Prince a wife to wed. And with Cinderella’s stepmother hell-bent on her daughters (Britney & Christina) marrying up, she sees this as their golden opportunity…
Join Cinderella on her adventure to outwit her stepsisters and sneak out to attend the ultimate New Year’s Eve bash.
The Watford Palace Theatre has been bringing Christmas cheer to Hertfordshire since 1908 and this year’s production will be presented by the smash-hit directing and designing duo, James Williams and Cleo Pettitt who are returning with their millennium-inspired revival of this classic tale, supported by the sensational script writing of Teresa Burns.

Alongside these starring roles as the King and Furby will be Mark Pearce and Samuel Wolstenholme as the Prince, who will be making his professional debut. Striding into the role of the stepmother, Drizelda will be played Lucyelle Cliffe supported by her daughters Britney, Lucia Vinyard and Christina, Luke Farrugia.
