The BOA Group has announced that the enchanting tale of Cinderella will take centre stage at The Old Rep Theatre this Christmas, running from Saturday 22 November – Wednesday 31 December 2025.

This marks the tenth magical Christmas production that The BOA Group has proudly produced at The Old Rep, and this year’s show promises to be the most spectacular, spellbinding, and side-splitting yet – bursting with laughter, music, festive cheer and unforgettable moments for audiences of all ages.

Expect outrageous characters, hilarious comedy, and plenty of audience participation in a high-energy show guaranteed to have the whole family laughing, cheering, and shouting “it’s behind you!”

Join Cinderella as she dreams of escaping her cruel stepmother and her larger-than-life stepsisters. With a little help from her Fairy Godmother, a sprinkle of sparkling magic, and a carriage ride like no other, she’s whisked away to the royal ball. But with the clock ticking, will she make it back before midnight? Will she leave behind the legendary glass slipper? And will good triumph over evil in true pantomime style?

Returning to direct this year’s production is the brilliant Lorna Laidlaw, who captivated audiences with last year’s hit The Wizard of Oz. Lorna is a professional director and actress best known for her roles as Mrs Tembe in Doctors and Aggie in Coronation Street. Her impressive theatre directing credits include Caribbean Kitchen, Nativity, and She’s Royal, with productions staged at The Drum, Birmingham Rep, and beyond.

Tickets go on sale on Friday 27 June 2025 at 10am. For more information, visit: oldrep.co.uk
