Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella

Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff Bay

Tue 3-Sat 7 Apr

World-renowned for his astounding shows, Matthew Bourne returns to the Millennium Centre following the enormous success of The Red Shoes and Sleeping Beauty.

Bourne is known for his ability to reimagine and redefine stories and fairytales and continues this trend with Cinderella, now set during World War II, with the traditional prince now an RAF pilot in the Blitz. The roar of wartorn London entirely changes the feel of the well-known classic but adds an emotional charge to an otherwise overdone fairytale.

Tickets: from £18.
