The Lyric Hammersmith’s highly-anticipated 2012 pantomime Cinderella features West End stars Steven Webb (Betwixt!, The Inbetweeners) and Julie Atherton (Avenue Q, Mamma Mia!).

Have a ball this Christmas as Cinderella seeks her Prince Charming. Join the Fairy Godmother who will grant your wish for a show full of fun, laughter and lots of surprises.

Cinderella is directed by Artistic Director Sean Holmes. Three years since Holmes began his tenure at the Lyric and re-introduced the artform to the theatre, this production marks his panto-directing debut.

Steven Webb plays Buttons in the most popular of all pantomime stories, following his lead role in 2010’s Dick Whittington And His Cat and his acclaimed turn as Wishy Washy in last year’s Aladdin. His West End credits include the lead role in Sam Mendes’s Oliver! and Tiny Tim in Scrooge, both at the Palladium, as well as The History Boys at Wyndham’s and Betwixt! at Trafalgar Studios. 

Webb is joined by Julie Atherton as Cinderella. Atherton starred in the original West End production of Avenue Q, and her other musical theatre credits include Fame, Notes From New York and Phyllida Lloyd’s Mamma Mia! at the Prince Edward theatre. 

Sean Holmes’s productions for the Lyric include the Olivier Award-winning Blasted and West End hit Ghost Stories.
