New Adventures is delighted to announce that\u00a0Matthew Bourne\u2019s CINDERELLA\u00a0will return to\u00a0Lowry, Salford\u00a0later this year in celebration of its 30th\u00a0anniversary and ahead of a Christmas season at Sadler\u2019s Wells in London and an extensive UK tour in 2027.<\/p>\n

One of New Adventures\u2019 most popular and beloved productions, Matthew Bourne\u2019s CINDERELLA is a thrilling and evocative love story, set in London during the Second World War.<\/p>\n

This epic interpretation of the classic fairytale, has, at its heart, a true war-time 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.<\/p>\n

Matthew Bourne\u00a0said:\u00a0\u201cNearly thirty years ago, our Cinderella became the first (and only) ballet ever to premiere directly in the West End of London, starring Adam Cooper, Sarah Wildor, Will Kemp and Lynn Seymour. Apart from a triumphant run in Los Angeles in 1999, it did not go on its first UK Tour until the production was completely revised, with spectacular new design, lighting and surround-sound in 2010.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis story has always held a very special place in my heart. My parents were both children of the London Blitz, living streets apart from each other in the bomb-battered East End. It\u2019s also a tribute to the spirit and resilience of my hometown but mostly it\u2019s about love, the power of love to transcend troubled times and give hope for a better future. In fact, this could be the show that we all need right now. I look forward to welcoming you all to the Ball later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

With\u00a0Lez Brotherston\u2019s glorious Olivier Award-winning designs, lighting by Olivier Award-winning\u00a0Neil Austin\u00a0and video and projection designs by\u00a0Duncan McLean, CINDERELLA features sensational sound design by\u00a0Paul Groothuis\u00a0which will take the audience into the heart of Prokofiev\u2019s magnificent score, and the sights and sounds of war-torn London.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 Bourne\u2019s vivid storytelling has never been more heart-stopping and touching, creating a unique and unforgettable depiction of a familiar but timeless fable.<\/p>\n

CINDERELLA plays at the Lowry Tuesday 24th\u00a0to Saturday 28th\u00a0November 2026. Tickets are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
