Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella comes to Sadler's Wells for Christmas!


Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella

1 December 2026 – 17 January 2027


Music by Prokofiev

 

London 1940. The Blackout. A siren sounds...

 

New Adventures return to Sadler’s Wells this Christmas with the 30th Anniversary celebration of one of their most popular and beloved productions, Matthew Bourne’s CINDERELLA – a thrilling and evocative love story, set in London during the Second World War. 

 

Matthew Bourne’s epic interpretation of the classic fairytale, has, at its heart, a true war-time romance. A chance meeting results in a magical night for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot, together just long enough to fall in love before being parted by the horrors of the Blitz.

 

With Lez Brotherston’s glorious Olivier Award-winning designs, lighting by Olivier Award-winning Neil Austin and video and projection designs by Duncan McLean, CINDERELLA features sensational sound design by Paul Groothuis which will take the audience into the heart of Prokofiev’s magnificent score, and the sights and sounds of war-torn London. 

 

CINDERELLA is both a tribute and a testament to the spirit of London during a time when every second counted and lives were changed forever.  Bourne's vivid storytelling has never been more heart-stopping and touching, creating a unique and unforgettable depiction of a familiar but timeless fable.
