Book your tickets before the clock strikes midnight!
Join Cinderella and a host of lovable companions in a spectacular show packed with amazing colour, spellbinding costumes, magical live music, breath-taking dance, and a tonne of belly laughs!
Bring your family and friends along for a night filled with enchantment, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Whether you’re young or just young at heart, this timeless tale of Cinderella will captivate and entertain everyone in the audience.
Panto co-writer Frank Mackey returns to the stage as Cork’s most popular Panto Dame, Nanny Nellie. Our determined and delightful title heroine Cinderella is played by Megan Pottinger, who audiences may remember as Jill from last year’s hit panto Jack and the Beanstalk.
Cork’s own Alison McCormack and Julie Maguire are the all-singing, all-dancing Wicked Stepsisters, while Michael Grennell returns to the Opera House stage as Cinderella’s superbly menacing stepmother, Baroness Melania Hardup. Cinderella’s Prince is played by the dashing Paul Wilkins, and rounding out the cast as everyone’s favourite hapless sidekick Buttons is Blarney’s Brian Ó’Muirí, fresh from his run in the West End production of The Book of Mormon. Joining them all on stage is a full cast of fabulous professional dancers, musicians and the wonderful young talent from Cork’s stage schools.
So, polish your pumpkin and gather your mice – get ready for a Panto experience like no other. Join us at Cork Opera House for a festive season filled with magic, merriment, and memories that will last a lifetime.
Cinderella promises to be our most magical Panto experience yet – oh yes it does! So don’t miss out, tickets for the Cork Opera House Panto always fly out the door! Secure your tickets now and let the fairy-tale adventure begin!
You WILL go to the ball!
