Starring S Club 7 singer Rachel Stevens and CBeebies’ Mr Bloom, aka Ben Faulks, the panto plays at the St Albans theatre until Sunday, January 6, 2019.

From the team at Evolution, the panto also stars St Albans favourites Bob Golding, Ian Kirkby and Jemma Carlisle.

Normally seen in a dress as the panto’s Dame, Alban Arena patron Bob Golding is in trousers this year as Dandini.

Ian Kirkby is back as Baron Hardup, the father of Cinderella, with the lovely Jemma Carlisle returning to the Arena in the title role.

Cinders lives a life of drudgery and is bullied by the horrible Ugly sisters, Donaldina (Hugh O’Donnell) and Melania (Aaron Alexander).
