About Matthew Bourne's Cinderella


One of New Adventures’ most popular and beloved productions, Matthew Bourne’s CINDERELLA is a thrilling and evocative love story, set in London during the Second World War. This epic interpretation of the classic fairytale has, at its heart, a true wartime 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.


The show premiered in 1997 at the Piccadilly Theatre in London and has since played all over the world.

The 30th anniversary production opens at the Theatre Royal Plymouth on 16 November 2026 and will then tour theatres across the UK through 2027.


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.
