Cinderella, Gaiety Theatre, Dublin

Went to see Cinderella at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin.When you take your seats in the theatre a beautiful pink curtain with cineerella in silver writing is over the stage. The saftey announcement is made. The curtain is made see through and on a giant moon sits the fairy godmother, kathleen ni hoolihoop (Marie Mcdermotroe) with severel fairies danincg around her. She explains all her magic and the mistakes that have happened in the past. She also says cinderella lived in a town called drumcondra waves her magic wand and says once upon a time. The ensebmle sing a song about the town and how they all love eachother. Then the sisters enter. They sing a meledy of two songs 'filthy gorgous' and 'thats not my name'. The ugly sisters (Avarice and Slavarous) are amazing in it. Richie hayes as buttons is also amazing. Leanne moore is fantactic as cinderella. Go se it

I would recommend anyone to go and see Cinderella at the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin - young or old. As someone who has appeared in London panto for a long time I was interested to see what an Irish one would be like. All I can say is both my husband and I enjoyed it immensely. we are both in our 60s but love the craic as much as anyone. This particular panto showed how you can have a huge amount of fun and laughter without any of the smut recently associated with live performances of shows. It made me want to get up there and take part all over again!!!

Excellent show for all the family. Great humour and the Billy Barry kids were fantastic. This had everything you could want in a christmas pantomime. Great story, good acting and the usual audience participation. Our whole family loved it.

Overall an Excellent production. Great Political Humour to keep the adults interested while at the same time the politicians used would be very well known by the children Richie Hayes very good again and really enjoyed Leannes performance also
