Wexford audiences gearing up for Enniscorthy pantomime this Christmas

With a fantastic cast of enthusiastic performers, audience members are in for a treat.

The show tells the story of Cinderella, her adorable friends Buttons and Widow Honeybum, as they meet Prince Charming, his father the King and his hilarious friend Dandini. Along for the ride, are Cinderella's iconic Wicked Stepmother and Ugly Step Sisters who have plans of their own when they meet Prince Charming.

Can Cinderella's Fairy Godmother give her a happily ever after or will her Wicked Stepmother get in the way? Everyone is invited to transport themselves into the fantastical through this musical comedy adventure, frolics for all the family – young and the not so young.

The panto has a fantastic cast of enthusiastic performers, with lots of local talent in the front line, including Alice Medcalf as Cinderella and Therese Canavan Bolger as her Wicked Stepmother. As Cinderella's loyal friend Buttons is Niamh Bolger, and her stepsister Anastasia is played by talent newcomer Hollie Cloke. From The Ukraine they have Olena Cheberya as Drisella, in her first stage performance since coming to Ireland.

Their Prince Charming, Tom Joyce, has previously performed across the UK and Ireland. Some newcomers to the stage are included; Janet Daly and Astra McCauley as Dandini and Fairy Godmother. It's a family affair as Cinderella's real life father, David Medcalf, joins the cast as King Charming. And the comedy heart of the show is Widow Honeybum played by comedy legend Jeanette Sidney Kelly.

The main cast is supported by a chorus of 30 wonderful young people, ready to entertain local audience with this exciting and heart-warming tale.

Tickets are €15 / €20 (plus booking fee) and are available on the Gr8 events website.
