Royal Spa Centre have confirmed the return of audience favourites Harry Pudwell and Hollie Smith-Nelson alongside acclaimed panto dames James Mitchell and Harry Howle in this year’s magical family pantomime Cinderella. They will join previously announced stars AJ and Curtis Pritchard.

Back by popular demand, Hollie Smith-Nelson, who charmed families as Tinker Bell last year, swaps fairy wings for glass slippers in the title role. Harry Pudwell also returns after earning rave reviews for his 2024 performance as Edgar in Beauty and the Beast, with Warwickshire World calling him “devilishly hilarious”, this time stepping into the much-loved role of Buttons. 

Award-winning performer Harry Howle joins much-loved Napton-based Dame James Mitchell as the Wicked Stepsisters, with the pair promising quick-fire comedy, outrageous costumes and plenty of chaos throughout the festive run.

Cinderella is once again produced by Coventry-based Imagine Theatre, which has presented the Royal Spa Centre pantomime for more than 15 years.

Poor Cinderella toils night and day, dreaming of a very different life. When a royal invitation arrives, it seems her wish for a brighter future might finally come true. But will her Wicked Stepsisters spoil her chance at happiness? Or can her Fairy Godmother - with a little help from the ever-cheerful Buttons - work their magic in time? 

Everyone’s favourite rags-to-riches tale will feature all the ingredients audiences know and love from the Spa Centre Panto slapstick comedy, dazzling musical numbers and plenty of audience participation for the whole family. The clock is ticking… so dust off your glad-rags and book your tickets today for this magical festive treat for the while family.
